The title says it all — follow along with Kerri to safely and efficiently train your straight arm inversions.

Workout Overview

This workout starts on the floor and then moves to the air. When building up to straight arm inversions, focus on floor work to not overwork your shoulders.

  1. Floorwork
  • Booty/pelvis tucks
  • Crunches
  • Arms over the head and hold
  1. In the air: on fabric, bar, or rings
  • Double wrap fabrics to give your hands support
  • Keep your feet on the mat to not overwork shoulder muscles
  • Scap wraps
  • Pelvis tucks
  • Piston inversions

Straight arm inversions are difficult and can be frustrating to work toward, but with consistent practice these exercises WILL become easier! Do these drills at the beginning of your practice and don’t rush the process.
