Capoeira Fitness Tip of the Week

This feature is designed to give you functional training tools for your off days when you are not training capoeira. We will be looking at various exercises that we will have as resources for you to devise a strategy for your overall physical development as a capoeirista.

The goals are:

Overall Physical Health

Promoting Longevity

Improved Performance in your capoeira training and game

This excercise is called the Cast Wall Walk which is an introductory element to build strength throughout the shoulder girdle in the planche and handstand planes of movement simultaneously.  In addition, it is a great core workout as you keep your body strong and straight just like a pushup, plank, planche, or handstand position.

Great way to improve your ability to do movements on your hands!

 

Enjoy!
