To learn hand balancing, bodyweight exercises, and get a stronger core, I took Karin Dimitrovova's 28-day 'The Core Play' program. Here's how it went.

I’m a yoga teacher and I also bought this program in 2021 and I have just remember I never completed it 😅 you did so well! I actually agree that u can find this FOC but it took me now this 3 years with many different movement teachers to figure out the drills she share there in the program. I do wish I completed it in 2021 - but I think I’ll give it a go now again. I love your approach to it 🙏🏻 you did great! ❤️

Thanks so much😊It took a whiiiile for me to finish. On my own I doubt I would've gotten anywhere (too impatient). Where did you find your movement teachers? Yess, you can always try again and there's no rush at all🍀

thanks for noticing 😊 one-armed handstand, here I come! (joke, nowhere close to a freestanding one, even on both hands)

What an interesting journey. Your capturing the day-to-day challenges really let me know that this program would be like. I particularly liked the Q&A section and hearing how you had rehabilitated your wrists. Well done. I also appreciated the clear, high quality video, humor and candor.

Never give up on yourself 🙏 It took a whiiiiile to do the 28-day course. But I finished 💅 I did compare myself to others at first but I only felt annoyed with myself. At some point I said, whatever, I'll just go at my own pace and finish whenever I finish🤷🏻‍♀🥸

I wasn’t sure whether to purchase this when I didn’t know exactly what this involved. Also given that I’m over 50 and never been flexible, I just wanted to make sure that I at least had enough ability to do it. The prehab and wrist strengthening was good to know. Your video was just the inspiration that I needed, even the fact that it took you 11 months to get through it. So thank you so much for sharing your journey. Very interesting what you experienced with the wrist braces restricting your movement and probably making things. Just goes to show that our bodies like to be moved.

@DENADAGRACIA Ай бұрын

Thanks for your comment, Rachel! Practice makes progress :) My body needed strength more than flexibility. I did restart week 1 many, many times. But at some point I built up enough strength to feel secure enough to progress. If the moves are super hard on your body, you can always scale down the number of sets. I shamed myself a good number of times for not being able to "keep up." Then I figured, who am I competing with or comparing myself to? It's my pace. I am progressing. That's what's important. Yesssss. I still sit here typing this comment without the wrist braces😁 Have fun and good luck with the program!! 🍀🍀

Thank you for sharing your experience! I purchased her beyond flexibility program, I believe (I can't remember, because I returned it!) during the pandemic. I wanted to improve my squat mobility, but the assumption was that one could already squat (my hips were tight and I have always had limited mobility in my ankles). I figured she would address all the components of a better squat, but nope, she just got into (a very deep) one and kept progressing things from there. Thankfully, her return guarantee worked no problem, so customer service was good, but the lack of gradation in her exercises made me wonder exactly who the heck it was for.

@DENADAGRACIA 2 ай бұрын

My pleasure (it helped me push through hehe)😊Sounds like an opportunity for her (or whoever is knowledgeable on that) to take on "The components of a better squat" or "how to get into a squat when you have tight hips without injuring yourself." I'm curious about her other programs. TCP wasn't that much of an easy start for me either so I just kept repeating week 1 until I felt secure/strong enough to carry on. (A few months back, I tried to on my own follow daily random front split routines, but felt a stinging sensation in my hip on day 5 and figured it would be smarter to stop doing these static stretches, and maybe go for a guided program instead that'd ease me into deeper mobility.) You say your hips "were" tight. Did you try other methods to open them up? Yep, great when return guarantees are granted as promised! 🙏

Great video! 😊 I bought this program during the beginning of the pandemic, and never finished after a few tries! 😂 Maybe I'll give it a go again, although I won't be brave enough to film myself.

@DENADAGRACIA Ай бұрын

The things we did in lockdown, hehe. How about filming, even if it's just for you? (Ok, I take dance classes and I don't always follow my own advice because I feel too shy in the moment to push my phone into a stranger's hands and feel even more watched/pressure to execute the choreo well). But filming does help to catch mistakes or things you could improve👀

For the crow u can also put your knees on top of your elbows / as high as u can to the armpit/ (at the thriceps) ❤️ if your body allows it - it’s much easier to balance :)

I tried this in the gym last week. I'll need some more practice 😄
