Chris Heria VS. CONTORTIONIST

[@maniuyaamin]

I been doing calisthenics for 3 years, I don't have a gym membership or a pull bar. But I use your heria app and your KZbin videos of home workout to hit a good workout. And I have managed to learn handstands and do 5 free standing handstand push-ups. So I am now focusing on being consistent. Thanks you for your content.

[@Fizzio.fitness]

Thats why we love you . Your workout info style is very impressive i must admit you are best at your work keep it up i m watching you daily❤

[@BetterThanYesterday69]

You should try and get a door pull-up bar if able to

[@Mysticfateee]

That's huge! the handstand is one of those calisthenics skills i really wanna learn at some point but it's also one of the more intimidating ones to me so i've yet to start my training on it

[@Alan-gt5lr]

God damn... 5 handstand pushups without even a gym? I would really consider at least a pull up bar if I was you because you have definitely earned it

[@rishdhisabith2585]

Wow. That's so inspiring

Sometimes it's incredibly easy to forget how important flexibility training is, as well as how crucial it is to stretch to avoid injury. Thanks for the video!

[@helvete_ingres4717]

if you don't work on flexibility as an athlete, you're creating an enormous blindspot for yourself and you will always be limited by that.

Flexibility is not important whatsoever and it actually increased chance of injury.

Yesss I’ve always wondered how flexible you are and how your calisthenics expertise would translate into that. Definitely keep up the stretching and show us more contortion!

[@benbrass850]

I used to watch your videos a lot around 2017 - 2018 and am just coming back. I have started my calisthenics journey a few months ago. Your videos are so inspirational and make me want to progress more and more every day! Thank you for helping everyone by posting these videos it kind of makes you realize your goal is attainable. Anyway, thanks!

[@Nerivean]

Watching Chris face while trying to do this exercises is just too funny lol But I also got inspired by her when she went from bridge to handstand back and forth so easy. Gotta stretch more from now on

[@mickiellah]

the most replayed part has me crying 💀

[@christopherakaninja3878]

I’m loving the new content where you are trying different other types of workouts in different genres.

[@Calming884]

Hey Chris thanks for the workouts, my push-ups are getting better and better every single day and I’m seeing more definition in my triceps.

[@QYoga-IvermectinIsAwesome]

I'm a Yin Yoga practitioner and it made me more flexible than I thought it was possible for me. And now I can also say that I'm practicing contortion everyday. When the mind is relaxed, the body is also relaxed during stretching, and the more relaxed the body is, the more flexible the body is.

[@kenanalali132]

I started calisthenics 2 years ago because of you man, loved this video and it really inspired me. I really hope you continue with this series I'm HYPED for the next level. Mad love Brother❤

[@gabrielebuonanno_]

i would love a series with her! one thing, next time can you ask her insight about pelvis movement and position during those exercises? since it is fundamental to do not break yourself! manythanks

[@bruteforcebeta59]

Hey Chris, I've seen your videos here and there over the years and liked them. Your collab with Magnus felt so genuine and heartfelt I decided to check out your recent videos. I love all these videos putting yourself out of your comfort zone and learning new things. I connect with your desire to take on challenges and improve skills that are related, but show what a lifelong journey fitness is.

[@ReneIsSoCool101Yes]

This was just so damn interesting to watch! Seeing how they progress their stretching and flexibility, they really do incorporate the same elements of progressive overload we see in weightlifting and Calisthenics! Please do a part 2 with her. She was an amazing instructor and I would love to see how this can play in traditional strength training. I've done yoga and this seems like the next evolution to that!

This is the simplest and most comprehensive flexibility routine I have ever seen. My back is super flexible, being able to do the stand to stand bridge, but my legs are so inflexible it hurts to just get in these positions. I was sweating more than I have in a long time just holding the elevated front split and straddle split. As a martial arts enthusiast myself, i am taking the plunge to master these simple techniques.

[@KatieACampbell]

[@бронза.вафля.конус]

As you get older, muscle strength and flexibility deteriorate. So, strength building and flexibility are definitely important. You already have incredible strength and stamina, so adding flexibility onto that would be the cherry on top.

Contortionist are insane! The comparison of an athlete, usually at the top of their league, next to a novice/ “regular” person really puts it into perspective 🤯, incredible. Good on you for giving it a go and highlighting flexibility 👌🏼. More on flexibility would be interesting, how to run and, boxing and kick-boxing basics. Maybe try yoga, parkour, skate boarding, ballet, rollerblading and skating next…and now I’m wondering about fighting styles 😆.

I've begin my Calisthenicss Journey roughly 1 and half year ago. It is kinda on and off thing by I do make sure it to be consistent. At least 1 hour per day. It is a very slow progress but I can see bit by bit of the result. Now I am focusing on flexibility because I noticed that, if your body is flexible, you will be able to get more benefit when practicing for handstand as you somehow knew how to control the muscle. Still a long journey ahead for me but I am enjoying every single bit of it. This video is an eye opener on the limit of human body while I think it is going to be hard to reach that level of flexibility, I'll be sure to add it in my daily routine. Thanks Chris!

[@SebastianRodriguez-wb9ev]

Hey Chris amazing seeing this! You did great man. I am a contortionist teacher myself, and I was impressed how well you did, a big tip I can give to anyone trying to become more flexible, treat flexibility like your gym split, intense stretching sessions are also tiring, draining, and generate tons of fatigue for your muscles, so its not something you should do daily as many say. Divide it by muscle groups, or specific skills, a good example would be. Monday: Splits. Tuesday: Back, Wenesday: Compression, Thuersday: Rest, Friday: Hips, and splits. Saturday: Back and specific skills like handstands, chestands, or other tricks, Sunday: Rest again. That would be a great way to start with the right foot. Also focusing a lot on proper techinque, biomecanics, theory, and alligment. Avoid compensations, know how to position your body properly, and lastly work on various elements, and aspects of flexibility, like compression, strenght(Control), dynamic, and static stretching. That would be like the major tips I can give Lastly the most important thing I learned when trying as a contortionist was that being always super intense will help, but just like any other training, proper diet and rest allow results to show much faster, and involving flexibility in your daily life, examples of this is instead of sitting normally when you read or eat. Try to do it in pancake (sitting straddle), or a butterfly stretch, also stretch when waking up, not hard, or much, but just to get your body going, and before sleeping. This minor changes allow your body to get familiar with stretching much faster. Really hope to see Chris follow up with this journey!
