My Flexibility journey. ..
Contortion is an elite discipline and takes years to perfect. Many contortionist start at a very young age (4 years old), although it is still possible to achieve these extreme levels of flexibility at an older age. | I was 11 years old when I took my first acrobatic class and didn't start contortion until I was about 18 years old. Yes it was a very late start for me. You can see by the bend/curve of my back that I work very hard for my flexibility. Over the years I've learned to push my body and my limits safely. I believe in being well rounded in my discipline, pushing in my over-stretching while maintaining my control/ balance. Keeping your core strong is key. Anyone can improve their flexibility at any age, you just need to be consistent. Learning to push yourselves is harder than any physical pain you may feel. "Your body is capable, its your mind that needs convincing!" If you want results, you have to work for them! Share your Flexibility journey with me!! |
