Hi everyone. I found this forum a few days ago and have been reading posts trying to figure out where to start, what to do, etc. I am aware that I need to get the book in order to follow along with the WODs and the posts here. As soon as I have the dough for the book I will get it, but in the meantime, I'd like to see if I can get some very basic, beginner advice. I am positive that I will have to work up to doing even the beginning exercises, so can you guys help me out with what to do to prepare myself? I've started doing the following:
30s chin up hang (top position, not dead hang) x 3 sets
pull ups (only going halfway down on the negative) x 3 sets
chin ups x 3 sets
30s handstand x 3 sets
L-sit (can only hold a few seconds even with feet on floor, but not sure I'm leaning correctly)
Hanging leg raise, loose tuck 10 x 3 sets
Kneeling wrist push ups (backs of hands flat on floor)
Diamond push ups 10 x 3 sets
Should I be doing more, less, different exercises?
Should I still be doing regular weight training?
I am also in aerials (circus arts, not no-handed cartwheels
) training, which is a lot of upper body (and the reason I want to start the gymnastic bodies training). If there are any aerialists here, any specific advice?
Thanks in advance! I know there are a ton of knowledgeable people here, so I'm looking forward to reading what you have to say.
