Hiiii I’m Lucy Saltmarsh, aka LucyMVMT and if you’re ready to level up your fitness, I’m here to help!

🤗I’m a movement and fitness coach with over a decade of experience who believes movement is a powerful tool for longevity, mental + physical growth, and FUN!

🤸I self identify as an “energizer bunny” and have played + practiced with an incredible amount of different sports and movement styles throughout my life including, but not limited to, gymnastics, cheerleading, lacrosse, soccer, softball, basketball, dance, swimming, tennis, waterskiing/wakeboarding, yoga, CrossFit, and calisthenics!

📍I am based out of Atlanta, GA but am passionate about travel, and have been lucky enough to work with clients all over the world!

✨My methodology is all about balance, meeting yourself where you are, and unlocking the power of positive mental self talk to push towards your goals both in and out of the gym.

⚡️I specialize in skill based gymnastics, calisthenics, and CrossFit coaching, strength training, mobility work, mindset coaching, and returning to sport after injury. Throughout my career, I feel blessed to have gotten to work with hundreds of athletes from as young as 18 months to as old as 82. Movement is for everyone!

Handstand Play with My Shadow 🤸👤

My favorite part of this series is how the shadow filmed in the dirt next to me!

I’m a sucker for a P Bar series - switch grip side entry + swing to I sit + swing to handstand straddle/split/stag/crossed tuck + handstand to shoulder stand lower + swing to V sit

Your Next Partner Trick 👯‍♀️🌊

This one is easier than it seems! Side handstand entrance is wholly optional and you can practice with a mat first

Also 10/10 recommend traveling and going on adventures with your friends! Experiencing new places while making memories with your favorite people >

Front Hip Circle Drills from Easiest to Hardest 💪

For this Skill Sunday a wee bit late because lil mama is in Hawaii and very confused as to what time it is

Front hip circles are used in gymnastics and calisthenics and are a circling movement that starts and finishes on top of the bar!

SAVE for your next skill to practice in the gym.

Note that you can make these more approachable by practicing on a low bar if that is accessible to you or doing all of the movements with a box or two beneath the bar to raise the ground ✨

#skillsunday #gymnasticsdrills #calisthenics #fronthipcircle

Front Hip Circle Drills: Straight Arm Hip Lifts

Keeping straight arms with stacked shoulders over bar focus on pushing down to lift hips starting on thighs and knees towards bar

Front Hip Circle Drills: Shoulder Over Bar Leans

Keeping straight arms and hips ON bar squeeze body so you are moving in one piece where shoulders go over bar and toes come up keeping it as a small movement so that chest doesn’t drop at all nor do arms need to bend

Front Hip Circle Drills: Controlled Roll to Box

Initiate by doing a straight arm hip lift before rolling forward staying close to bar by keeping chest and thighs close. At the point your arms bend, focus on slowing down legs to find box below

Front Hip Circle Drills: Chest Drop Wrist Shift Rocks

The hardest part of the front hip circle is returning to the top of bar because it requires a big wrist shift with simultaneous heel lift.

Let arms bend and chest drop underneath bar before shifting ricks and lifting chest and sending toes down to return to front support. taken in Smyrna, Georgia by @lucymvmt

Intermediate Calisthenics Park Workout with Beginner Options 💪🤗

Have you walked by the playground looking equipment and weren’t sure what to do? Start with something like this!

To scale it to advanced beginner, simply reduce the reps.

3RDS:
💪12-15 Deficit Incline Push Ups
-Beginner:walk hands up higher and eliminate the deficit component so that chest stops at bar

💪10-12 Australian Rows
-Beginner: find a higher bar so that body is at a less flat angle for pulling

💪12-15 Forearm Support Knee Raises
-Beginner: focus on holding in that position for 15-20 seconds

💪8-10 Dips
-Beginner: take toe assisted dips with tip toes on ground OR work on 15-20 second front support hold between parallel bars

If you are lucky enough to live near a calisthenics park, I HIGHLY encourage you to take advantage of it! One of the coolest things about visiting Burlington, Vermont was the pure number of parks that they had.

Freestanding Kipping Handstand Push Up Drills from Easiest to Hardest for this Skill Sunday 🤸‍♀️✨

Kipping HSPU in space or off the wall are often seen in CrossFit and Grid League while strict handstand push ups (without the knee bend to drive momentum out of the bottom) are often used in Gymnastics and Calisthenics.

#handstandpushups #skillsunday #gymnastics #crossfit

Freestanding Kipping HSPU Drills: Box L Kipping HSPU

Set up so you are fully stacked in your handstand with weight in your finger tips and top foot in line with hips shoulders and wrists

Bring free floating leg down into Kip and re-extend out of bottom to re find line while staying light in supporting leg

Freestanding Kipping HSPU Drills: Tripod Headstand to Handstand (bottom half)

Start in tripod headstand position where most of the weight is in hands and very little rests on head and neck with focus on driving straight UP to find handstand

Freestanding Kipping HSPU Drills: Box L into Bottom Half HSPU

Use the box L to ensure you are starting from a strong handstand each time in proper alignment without having to worry about correction of position between reps

Note: when first beginning you should take these as singles then build to one of these + one box supported L handstand with no float

Freestanding Kipping HSPU Drills: Pike Push Up to Bottom Half HSPU

Emphasizing maintaining weight in hands and trying to stay as light as possible with feet from pike push up into kip position

Freestanding Kipping HSPU Drills: Reduced Range Strict HSPU

Focusing on the top half of the movement and understanding the shift forward that needs to happen before descending as well as making sure you aren’t relying on your head and neck to “catch” you at the bottom.

Note: you should be VERY confident here before trying next drill

Freestanding Kipping HSPU Drills: Handstand to Tripod Headstand

Top half of the movement beginning to time in legs to help control the speed of descent making sure you are staying tight even as knees bend with core engaged and strong active shoulders taken in Midtown Atlanta by @lucymvmt
