In addition to trying new exercises ( and
) today, I also did a special warm-up to improve feet and ankle mobility.
I definitely need to keep doing this regularly, since my feet aren't in good shape

Avoiding high impact exercises at the moment because of knee pain. I hope I can go back to normal within a few days, otherwise I'm stuck with mountain climbers as high intensity exercise with no jumping .
I might try plank jacks too.
@WTL thanks! This flow was challenging because we were asked to have only 3 points touching the ground at all times.
This was last week flow.
Yes, I made a mistake before the side-kick through

I went too light on the legs exercises, both for the KB and the elastic band. I'll keep that in mind for next time.
It's been a forced de-load week because I had frequent migraines and I decided to not work out much.
Today I'm feeling better and I went to my #animalflow class

It was my first time trying wall sit calf raises and I need some additional weight because they felt easy.
Still need to improve a lot in required mobility for animal flow
12 km
Animal flow with a subsequence similar to the one in the video (we did the scorpion before side kick through)

For the roll I took the easier variation consisting in keeping the legs on the floor. I'll have to practice this move!
@mlawton as you can see I am not doing them well either Still I improved since previous lessons. Last time I couldn't bring my leg from runner's lunge position to front and back again.
So practice is the key to everything

#animalflow class
I'll post the video in the next days
Yesterday's flow. I'm the lousy one with the light pink top. The instructor is in front of me.
#animalflow
I could complete only 1 out of 3 lines of lateral ape. My quads started burning.
So tough!
@WTL @tinebeest @lrz it's not easy and it takes practice. It's a discipline that helps improving joints mobility. Being honest here, #animalflow classes are hard, but they make you feel better afterwards.
Video from yesterday's class. I'm the one with the yellow t-shirt.
Beginner animal flow: ape, ape reach, underswitch, crab, crab reach, underswitch (both sides).
One of the moves we worked on this evening is the ape reach
