That is better now, focus on holding the APT and stretch yourself forward like the belly reaches the floor while the chest stay opened.

Thanks Alex as always
Leigh
Always think about reaching long forward rather than compressing down.
Will do
Hello Leigh,
Nice progress, hard work is paying off
. Is this something you practice more than once a week ?
Regards,
Gerrit

Hey gerrit
i only do the middle split series once a week as advised but I do do some lighter work throughout the week including hip ir/er work this has really started to help me recently

Thank you igor
Just an update - I’ve been away from the forums a bit admittedly when the format changed I was a little confused as to what I needed to do and should be doing - however
My pancake is still not “Kiera” levels from the follow along but I’m still making progress steadily . I have to be realistic as I get older that things take time but I still love to train this exercise it definitely doesn’t get easier but I am feeling stronger here
I’m throwing in more hip rotational work now than I ever have - who knew this could be beneficial lol - we never stop learning
good luck everyone

You mentioned Alex to stay on one block until I reach the floor - I’m getting ever closer and feel it getting better each week
I always set myself small achievable goals so hoping soon I’ll be showing you me chest to floor on one block
Very nice. you ar welcome of experimenting also some bent knees work...not too much bent at the knees and focus on pushing the hips backward of APT..
