Stretchs For Flyers!!!

[acetribe123]

I am a flyer and i need some really good stretchs for scorpions and bows! thanks!!

 

[Hannah Bottomley]

Hey I am a flyer too, my scorpion is nearly straight. Basically stretch it every day (make sure you warm up first) and do lots and lots of bridges and walk your feet to your hands and push back on your shoulders if that makes sense! And sit in splits on your right leg, get someone to push your shoulders backwards and try and reach your leg!
I still need to improve my b&a though so if anyone's got tips for that i'd appreciate xx

like in the video... door frame, and sitting in splits and leaning back.

for bow and arrows the door frame helps me alot also though you can sit in splits and hyper-extended splits. also if you sit in a split and lay forward you can grab your foot and roll onto your back so your lying in a bow. its hard to explain but it makes alot of sense if you see it

For the bow I would suggest that hyper extended splits works very well and getting your middle splits helps a ton! it gives you that other aspect of flexibility making pulling the bow a lot easier

for stretching for scorps i do a pretty weird stretch. i stand against a wall with my back to it with my feet together. then i lean down and touch my toes, and then the leg i wanna pull a scorp with i life up behind me and pretty much do a split on the wall. and then i lift myself as far up as i can like from the ground trying to make my body parrell to my leg(like a pencil) if you want you could use a chair to help you get up and balance.

Everyone has pretty much said it all! Splits & pushing down on them hard for about 20 seconds works a lot :)
