PJ Trick Challenge: February = Fallen Star 💫

Happy February Queens!

Who’s ready for a new #PJTrickChallenge?

Up for grabs: a £50 PJ voucher 👑

For the month of February, we’ve chosen… *drumroll please* … FALLEN STAR 💫 This trick is Intermediate, however we’ve also offered some different variations you can do depending on your level!

Let’s break it down, shall we?

1. Enter a straddle invert.

2. Hook the outside leg and squeeze the pole behind your knee by engaging your hamstring.

3. Release the outside hand and grab onto the pole a couple inches below your head. Option to hold onto the pole with your thumb pointing up or down. Keep your inside leg engaged as you squeeze the glute. This is the beginner variation. You can keep your outside leg hooked!

4. For intermediate polers, you can do the original Fallen Star. Unhook your outside leg and enter a straddle. Your contact points are: your outside hand pushing into the pole, the back of your inside shoulder and inner thigh of your inside leg. Squeeze your quads and point through your ankles as you hold your straddle.

5. Advanced polers, you can do the meat hook variations where you bring your outside leg to the same side as your inside leg. Your contact points are: your outside hand pushing into the pole, the back of your inside shoulder and the quad of your inside leg. Option to keep your legs together or go into an active split!
