WHAT ACTUALLY IS THE FRONT LEVER???
The front lever is a calisthenics move where you hang from a bar in a straight, horizontal position.
It looks like you’re defying gravity!
This exercise requires incredible core, shoulder, and back strength.
With this program, you'll develop the endurance and technique needed to master the front lever.
WARM-UP ROUTINE
A good warm-up is essential for injury prevention and improving performance.
WARM UP ROUTINE
SHOULDER DISLOCATORS: 3 SETS X 12-15 REPS
SCAPULAR PULL UPS: 3 SETS X 8-10 REPS
WRIST CIRCLES: 2 SETS X 10-12 REPS
CAT COW EXTENSION: 2 SETS X 10-12 REPS
SQUAT HOLD: 3 SETS X 20-30 SECONDS
HOW TO PERFORM THE WARM UP EXERCISES:
SHOULDER DISCLOCATORS: To perform shoulder dislocators, hold a resistance
band or a long stick with a wide grip in front of you at hip level. Keeping your
arms straight, slowly raise it over your head and behind you until it reaches your
lower back, then reverse the movement to return to the starting position.
SCAPULAR PULL UPS: To perform scapula pull-ups, hang from a pull-up bar with
straight arms and engage your core. Without bending your elbows, pull your
shoulder blades down and together, lifting your body slightly, then slowly relax
back to the starting position. You will lift your body up slightly whilst keeping
your arms straight
WRIST CIRCLES: Start by interlocking your fingers with your hands together in
front of you. Keeping your fingers interlocked, rotate your wrists in a circular
motion, making full circles in one direction, then switch directions to complete
circles the other way.
CAT COW EXTENSION:start by interlocking your fingers with your hands
together in front of you. Keeping your fingers interlocked, rotate your wrists in a
circular motion, making full circles in one direction, then switch directions to
complete circles the other way.
SQUAT HOLD: To perform a squat hold (Asian squat), stand with your feet
shoulder-width apart, then lower yourself into a deep squat, keeping your heels
flat on the ground and your chest upright. Hold this position, letting your hips
sink down while maintaining balance and an upright posture.
