Hey what's up Brian Cahill here, aka FRANKFIT. Today's video is part one of a
three part series, first we're doing the frog
stand, then we're doing the crow stand
and then we're gonna show the head
stand.
So first up, the frog stand. It's
important that you do a little bit of
body warm up first, plus some wrist
mobilization exercises. If you don't know
what wrist mobilization is, please check
out one of my previous videos on wrist
strengthening exercises. So let's get
started. First off spread your hands out,
make your palms as big as possible. When
we put our hands down on the ground,
we're gonna make sure that the weight is
in the palm of the hand, not on the top
of the fingers and not the bottom of the
wrists. You'll start the exercise from a
low squat position, placing your hands on
the ground push through your shoulders,
concaving your chest slightly and
bend your elbows. As you bend your arms
push the side of your knees in to the
side of your elbows, creating tension and
start to lean forward. keep your chin up
and your gaze forward. As you commit to
the movement, come up off the soles your
toes to the tips of your toes, possibly
even lift one foot up followed by the
other foot. Soon as you get both feet off
the ground squeeze them together to
create more tension. When first
practicing the frog stand it can be
quite tricky so expect to lose your
balance and slip out of position. You may
want to have a pillow or a book just in
front of you, here I'm using a yoga block.
So that's the frog pose it's great for
strengthening your arms, your core and
learning body control. As you get used to
practicing you should aim to hold
the position for 30 second straight. You may need to accumulate that time in the
beginning, you may end up having 10
three-second holds or even 30, 1 second
holds. Until you can hold it for a
straight 30 seconds. So that's today's
video, part 1. Be sure to check out part 2
