Home Challenge: standing tucks/fulls

Let's keep working hard at practice to improve skills to be that level 4/5 team you all are talking about wanting to be on. Remember level 4/5 is not just about the layouts and fulls. We need to see level 4/5 jumps, stunts, mounts/baskets, standing tumbling, running tumbling, motions and overall sass and confidence. What are you doing on your own to work on your level 4/5 skills?

Level 5 home challenge: What is sore the most the morning after doing a lot of standing tucks? Abs and legs right? Well guess what you need to be working on at home in order to have a successful standing tuck.... abs and legs. Even if you have that standing tuck is it high enough for a standing full? OK here is the level 4/5 home challenge to improve or get that standing tuck. You need to do this every day. Don't be lazy at them, that won't help. If you truly want these skills it is time to put your money where your mouth is and work for it. Give us some feedback are you willing to do the home challenge to improve/ get that tuck?

250 ab crunches (each set of 50 different)
100 toe raises
50 deep squat jumps (working the legs- jumps from your toes- no flat footers allowed)
50 knee ups (lay on ground and set, pull knees to over head) (if you are a twister then work on the knees up and twist)

Do you want more home challenges to be posted every week? Will you do them? I am all about getting you to that level 4/5 that you want to be at but you have to be willing to put in the hard work to get there. These skills will not just appear you have to work for them to get them.

My favorite quote: You must put up with the rain in order to get the rainbow.

Are you willing to work through the rain?
