Hi Gabrielle,
I’ve just posted on my older thread, but while I’m here, I might as well ask all my questions!
So I’ve tried all the tips in your Masterclass to make this posture work, but somehow I just doesn’t click. If I try to lift my legs properly, my shoulders automatically come off the floor. If I try to keep my shoulders on the floor, my legs only lift about 3cm.
I think the root of the problem may be that I can’t even imagine which muscles are supposed to work here – trapezius? Romboids? The instructors say it strengthens your upper back, but for me it doesn’t even engage at all at the top, only the lower back. My hands are pressed into the floor by my bodyweight, so I also don’t know what to do to press them down for leverage.
I might add that I’m reasonably well-endowed (ahem) and I read in your Masterclass that that can make it harder to do this posture properly…
Thanks!
