PE - looks very solid
iM - I think ROM is good, maybe try to make the circles a bit smoother.
Nice work!
Tobias you should post videos of both sides of the PE to be sure. Also I think your supposed to do 5 circles one way then switch directions and do another 5 in the other direction.
ah sorry... I will post videos of both sides next time :-)
Oooops.... Didn't watch the course video good enough. Didn't catch i was supposed to switch directions. Will ofc. also have that part fixed next time.
However, is it normal to feel dizzy when doing trunk circles or should I be worried?
Yup. I have to sit on the floor for a few seconds after every set of them.
switching directions might help with the dizziness. Also try using your eyes to fix your gaze on a spot on the floor and then switch to a spot on the ceiling as you rotate around. Like a dancer or a figure skater does while doing tight spins.
Unfortunately, dizziness doesn't "unwind" like that, by switching directions. I'm susceptible to motion sickness in general, though. I learned to live with it.
I lose my footing on the iMs of these sometimes b/c of the dizzyness. It sucks!
