At 3:37, that kind of reminds me of the "cat" or "cow" pose from yoga. Because I don't often have an actual Pull-up bar around me, I sometimes use the top "handle" of a chair, even if it doesn't have the exact same effect. Personally, I'm not sure if it's more difficult to do a pull-up or a "pull-over", since I probably can't use a chair for the latter of those. At the same time, I'm often thankful that I've never broken, sprained or twisted anything in my entire life, even when I accidentally fell on my hands three times while skating last month. In retrospect, it is fascinating how the first occasion I did gymnastics all the way back in May of 2003, had baked goods as refreshments. Even back then, I always made sure to not overdose too much on sugar-which may be why I'm still fairly slim at 24 (and one month). I do feel like there is a limit to how much frosting you can put on something though, so it doesn't become too saturated. Either way, it's great that you were able to flip again. I just hope that I can eventually do it for the first time.
it is the cat/cow pose! exact same :) awesome you've never really gotten hurt. that's great, i'm really jealous 😅and im sure you are more than capable of flipping. you just need to find a good facility to practice at, which in time im sure you will!
@@emmaogilvie8679 Then again, I've never really played a "full-contact" team sport. The only ones I've ever played were basketball and soccer, which are considerably lower on the impact scale. Even skating is often considered low impact, though I fell eight times in the span of three hours when I did it a month ago. Personally, I'm not sure what IS the highest impact sport, but gymnastics is definitely up there. Though the Tokyo Olympics ended ten days ago, I still found it fascinating that only one person on both the men's and women's teams for the United States was from where I live in the Mid-Atlantic. All the others seemed to come from elsewhere in the country, with the highest concentration coming from the Central and Pacific time zones. Until two monthes ago, I had never heard of adult classes until you had described such. As I said, I haven't been to an actual facility in 9.08 years, and even when trying to do certain exercises/drills at home-like those that are part of the "Nimedez triforce", I often find myself smacking the ceiling. I'm not sure if you've heard of this though.
@@colinroberts2060 drills are great! but eventually, if you want to progress, you have to throw it. i sometimes drive up to an hour and a half to go to one of the gyms. it's really worth it. and so much safer if there's an instructor!
@@emmaogilvie8679 True. I mean, I feel like there were oftentimes a lot of tricks or techniques that I wouldn't be able to learn without an instructor or spotter. Even one of those "wheel/wedge" things can't always save you from everything. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "throw it", but part of the challenge like you said two months ago is definitely finding an adult class to begin with. Because I didn't necessarily have a formal or 1:1 instructor over the eleven or so occasions I've done gymnastics, I'm somewhat unsure of where I would fall on my own, since I was generally always in a group setting when I did it.
Worth the wait! Loved your post and progress AND that Daniel joined you in this video (!) but you should really learn to listen to your belly alarm 😄 P.S. Thanks for the crown!
Seeing how terrible my overhead flexibility is relative to the family set off my belly alarm haha. Good thing you gave me plenty of exercises so that I can do something about it!
haha yeah, not sure spending an entire month to make 1 video is the best decision for growing on yt 😅but i think it turned out better this way :D i'm glad you liked it! for muscle tightness i could tell because at the beginning of the month, when i raised my arms above my head, i could feel my lats (just one example, there were definitely more) were so tight that at a certain point my arms weren't going further because of that tightness. if you have a general idea of anatomy and can feel the areas where the muscles are pulling against you, that's one way. another way is the shotgun approach :). roll out/mash up all the main ones (lats, pecs, ant delt, thoracic cage, bicep, tricep) and whichever feel the most painful probably need more work. then, in a couple weeks, if you see improvement you know you're doing it right!
EMMA OGILVE YOU ARE SO COOL! I am loving your videos. You are killing it and are so strong/flexible! Such skill 💕
dawwwww, thank you for watching my videos!!! i'm really not impressive at all, but i'm glad i've fooled one of you 🤓

the belly alarm is always correct! yes, working on that 😅
I love your videos keep them coming! You inspired me to get into gymnastics as a 20 year old!!! I’m so excited :))
Sorry I missed your comment! How are your classes going? I hope you love it!
@@emmaogilvie8679 I couldn’t find any for adults so I gave up

don't worry, we can all benefit from some improvement 😅
What's for dinner! Fun vid em!
xoxo
dinner? 🤔hmmmm.... i have no idea. thanks for watching!!!!
Tom Merric is on the run I see😉
his face looked so guilty i had to do something ridiculous with it 😅

Wow that's some serious committment in 1-month videos, cool! How do you identify the "inhibitors"? Total n00b in that area here :D

HAHAHAB WHEN IT WAS TOM INSTEAD OF YOU!!!! Also how many times a week do you go to gymnastics?
On average twice a week, assuming i'm not injured :p
