This has been my greatest hurdle with the invert! There's not that much emphasis on tipping throughout all the invert tutorials I've scoured. It's just like "and now you just...tip back, voila!" but my body is like..."What? 😕" It just doesn't even understand the movement and many conditioning exercises I've seen focus more on just strengthening your arms etc and not doing this particular motion. I finally bought a stability ball today and am going to start practicing! Thank you so much!

Yay! Happy training! Stick with it and have fun along the way! :) x

this is genius!

I bought a ball after watching this, I can knee tuck from standing position but can't get hips high enough to tip back into chopper, this is really helping me to feel the tip back movement and what muscles I am using xx

Yay! I LOVE this exercise for getting that tip back part - it really helps to restablish the mind-body connection and reinforce correct engagement through the movement. I'm so excited to help you get this. :) x

This was extremely helpful!

Excellent

thank you dear

I love your exercises, thank you for sharing. I'm just wondering, how would this help achieve a chopper? Would I not end up not strengthening the muscles that I need to strengthen?

Thank you so much! In this exercise, you are basically moving into and holding the chopper position, but with some support from the ball. So you are using the same muscles used for the full chopper, but without putting your entire bodyweight into the position. That's why it's a great conditioning exercise - it's essentially a deloaded version of the full movement. 🙌
