Treacle Jan 2023 8:05pm, 25 Jan 2023 4,399 posts	0 Treacle Very impressed at anyone being able to do camel! That is one thing my body just doesn’t want to do (yet!). Day 24 done though - quite enjoyed that one despite the camel bit!
PenW Jan 2023 8:34pm, 25 Jan 2023 2,944 posts	0 PenW I’m not yet up to today’s session, but have just tried camel. There is no way I can get close to my heels! Im pretty sure I used to be able to do these things with no problem a few years ago. Makes me realise how much flexibility I’ve lost.

Sharkie Jan 2023 8:39pm, 25 Jan 2023 21,193 posts	0 Sharkie Agree entirely with Linds. She approaches the camel very carefully. I've learned through bitter experience backbends need to involve the whole spine you mustn't just crunch backwards at L5. The hands on the sacrum is a very good idea
Flatlander Jan 2023 8:46pm, 25 Jan 2023 2,703 posts	0 Flatlander Linds is right, she did build up well to the Camel. The main limiters to achieving the Camel are back, quads and shoulders. Early on there were some lying face down quad stretches, and then several kneeling back bends which with earlier hip rotations got the back used to bending, followed by arm revolutions to mobilise the shoulders.

I was away at the weekend so missed 2, did a double day Monday but migraine yesterday meant I skipped another day. I’m 2 behind. I might try to catch up over the weekend but not stressing about it.
DrPhleecingD Jan 2023 10:42pm, 25 Jan 2023 54,596 posts	0 DrPhleecingD Went back to day 18 or 19, the one called Gaze. Too much fucking navel gazing, this one was the worst I've done of hers. Also finished very abruptly. Unimpressed
PenW Jan 2023 6:06am, 26 Jan 2023 2,946 posts	0 PenW I’m 2 behind too. I’m not going to try to catch up - it’s hard enough doing one a day.
