How to do a back bend *requested*

By jujupage1 -
Hi guys,

Welcome back to my blog. Today I am going to be showing you how to do a back bend. There was a tie in the poll that I did a couple days ago on my Instagram and you guys requested to do a gymnastics blog post as well as a photography blog post. So I will try and add those two things together. Before I get on to the blog, I am going to be shouting out this Instagram account because I've been really loving their content recently. They're called dancing.drawings and they create amazing pictures of dancers. Here is the link to their account: https://www.instagram.com/dancing.drawings/. Now let's get onto the blog post.

Four key phrases to remember when doing a back bend are core strength, control, arm strength, and back flexibility. Without obtaining those, you won't be able to do your back bend. To improve your back flexibility, you could:
  • Do a seal stretch.
  • Do a seal stretch on your knees.
  • And do a pike.

For more information and detail, head on over to: https://jujupage1sblog.blogspot.co.uk/2017/09/how-to-improve-back-flexibility.html. I explained how to improve your back flexibility here and I can guarantee that it will help. 

To improve core and arm strength, you could:
  •  Do sit-ups.
  • Try pulling your arm across your chest, creating a deep stretch across your bicep. 
  • Try doing the plank. Make sure you keep your bottom down and your back straight for the full effect. 

When it comes to doing a back bend, here are some drills that you could do:
  • A bridge from the ground. Lie down on the ground and lift through your shoulders using your hands. 
  • A back bend walking down a wall. You could also get a friend or a family member to support your lower back if you want to attempt your back bend in a safe way. 

This is what the end product should look like:

Going out for the first time in 2 months - Lifestyle Monday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, A week ago on Sunday, it was announced that the lockdown in the UK would at least be somewhat lifted. I was quite happy about that because although I seemed to be surviving well just walking by the field that's behind our house, the effects of cabin fever seemed to be catching up on me as well. On Tuesday, me, my sister, and my mum actually took a proper walk around our village. Although I've been doing some walks in the fields, I haven't actually taken a casual stroll on the streets of my village in the 2 months of lockdown because my parents advised that it was best to stay clear of as many people as possible. So when I actually took the time to walk around my village, even that seemed to bring back some sense of freedom. It was still weird for me to walk past my school knowing that had all this not happened, I would probably be in the peak of exam season. For some odd reason, I'm still taking in how much has chan...

Oh dear another lockdown 😣 - Lifestyle Monday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, I feel like I've been making blog posts after blog posts after blog posts about lockdown for a long time now and I know I've probably mentioned the word lockdown quite a few times now but yes, the UK is entering another lockdown as of Thursday.  I feel like every time I say we're in another lockdown, I just have to take a deep breath beforehand to compose my utter frustration at life right now. Honestly, although I'm getting used to this lockdown situation, I'm also getting kind of annoyed by all these quarantines and lockdowns. I just want to be able to move around freely and not have to constantly worry about my proximity to the people around me. I think it's also particularly annoying because 3 weeks ago, I had to enter a 2 week self isolation period because 2 people in my school had tested positive for Covid-19. I also nearly didn't end up going to school for the final week before half term because I...

Somme and Arras trip photos

I went on a year 9 history trip to the Somme and Arras. I visited loads of WW1 memorials and as a group we discussed wether or not they were the right way to remember them by. I also visited trenches. Some were left as they were and some were made today as they would be 100 years ago. We discussed which one was the best way to preserve the history of the trenches.  I also visited a mine. I forgot to take photos but we visited a quarry and a mine 20 metres underground that was used for a secret attack against the Germans. This was during the battle of Arras. All of these places however were so overwhelming to see but places I would definitely recommend going to. How should we remember the soldiers that died in WW1?

How to use your face more in dance- Dance Saturday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  Dance is an excellent art form for expressing yourself and your emotions. These expressions not only occur in the body, but also in the face. Over the 7 years that I've been dancing, I've seen many different types of dancers. Those who dance well in the body and use their face to exaggerate the movements. Those who perhaps forget the steps that they're doing in the dance but are not afraid to use their face. Then lastly, like me for a long time, those who dance well in the body but forget to use their face. The last one is certainly not uncommon. Especially as teenagers, we may find it awkward to do a sassy or funny face because we think that others may find it weird. However, by using our faces not only does it express every emotion in every movement, but it also makes you look confident and stand out to the crowd. Although I am better at this now, there have been times where I've found it difficult.  As some ...
