What is AcroBeast?
It is a partner-based workout program that utilizes AcroYoga skills into strength training, cardio endurance, and flexibility with the partnership that AcroYoga is known for. This program was developed with the help of AcroYoga757 participants and contributions of other yogis across the globe with exercise programs.
This program helps strengthen the community as we strengthen ourselves and build smart, toned, and coordinated muscles in a safe, fun, and progressive environment.
Each page below is just a sample of exercises to do and focuses on different groups of muscles and techniques.
DISCLAIMER: You should understand that participating in any exercise or exercise program carries the possibility of physical injury. You should be in good physical condition and able to participate in the exercise. If you engage in this exercise or exercise program, you agree that you do so at your own risk, are voluntarily participating in these activities, and assume all risk of injury to yourself. Consult with your physician first before attempting any exercise programs.
REPS & SPEED
Some of these exercises you may be familiar workouts to you but with one important feature … slow down your reps. Think of each rep as 10-counts. Yes, that’s a 10-second count. Focus on the “negatives” of controlling lowering your partner to the ground.
If you aren’t shaking, you are going too fast.
We are used to going from one Acro Pose or position into another “quickly” because of gravity. But now we are going to focus on the super-duper slow transitions from one pose to the next pose. Not using gravity to assist, but using gravity AGAINST you.
Mobility Body Weight Exercise
MISSION: Increase your own strength and flexibility through body-weight exercises & training when by yourself.
One might be strong and muscular, but are you really getting the most out of your workout? If you’re not spending enough time each week on mobility training, you’re probably not reaping the full benefits of your workouts. Just the lifting-up-and-putting-down is not giving you the FULL benefit of exercise.
Gradually increasing your range of motion with the best mobility exercises out is not just about being flexible. Good mobility means that the range of motion is smooth, more resilient against injury, and better able to recruit the most muscle mass for each exercise. And the more muscle mass you can recruit, the more weight you’ll be able to lift.
