Hello — it’s Jen 👋
This is the third and final part of our little hanging series, and today we’re linking the hands and the core for a more powerful lift.
Instead of relying on your fingers to grip the bar, wrap your thumbs underneath and imagine both sides of your hands spiraling toward each other — the pinky side rotating into the bar, and the thumb side rotating toward the pinky side. You’re creating a strong, connected surface with the “balls of your hands” rather than clenching from your fingertips.
From that strong connection:
• Pick your knees up toward your chest• If that feels good, pull yourself slightly toward the bar at the same time• Notice how coordinating the actions of the hands and knees helps you lift with more ease ✨
Try it a few times and pay attention to how the grip changes the experience of hanging.
If this series has been helpful, I’d love if you like, share, or pass it along to someone who might enjoy it. Thank you for practicing with me! 🤸♀️💛
