Scaling Options

I just started and did the thoracic bridge today; however, toward the end I could not do the movements.  The one where my feet were against the stall bars and I was supposed to push my body up I used a ball to get into position.  I was also not able to do the one with the hip and/or shoulders touches as I'm not strong enough or the one after that (I believe).  

So, how do we handle those movements that we are not strong enough to do.  Should we skip them or try to modify as best we can (like I did with the one that I used a ball on).

Thanks.

Great question Pam. This is completely normal when first beginning the series. For now, skip them. Over time, as you become stronger and more mobile, you will be able to get further and further along in the series, eventually completing the entire thing. For now just do what you can

Hello Pam,

For the time being simply stop at the point where you are unable to correctly perform the next element.  As your strength and mobility improve, continue to work your way deeper into the series.

Its all about refining Pam. Keep working at it each week, consistency makes the biggest gains.

Thanks everyone.  I appreciate the quick feedback.
