Day 3.00
Wrist Mobility/Rotation
"It’s not only important to have adequate wrist flexibility, your wrist are also designed to rotate. For the advance version, set both of your one inch books down close to the wall. Walk your feet up the wall belly side first. Only go as deep into the wall as your comfortable and are able to control. Once set, place fingers towards the wall and on top of the books, at a minimum of a 45 degree angle with the goal of a 90 degree angle. Hold stretch for 30s. After the set carefully walk back out with your hands with a strong/tight core, no saggy back. Remember, if the handstand version of the stretch is too intense - then do the stretch either from your knees or while in a plank position." ~GB

Today's exercise for wrist mobility/rotation required more books! The gym had a limited selection of books... the thickest children's books that I could find were "I'm Looking for a Monster" and "Are You My Mommy." My gymnasts thought it was funny doing handstands on books until they actually got into the handstand... then they felt the incredible stretch!
