Description

The Skin The Cat is one of the first calisthenics skills that involves "turning" through the rings. The exercise requires a lot of abdominal tension and good shoulder mobility.

Exercise

Skin the Cat

Type: Universal Rest: 90s Equipment: Turnringe

Tutorial

1

Grab the rings and move your body through them with your arms straight and your legs bent.
2

Rotate through the rings until either your legs are hanging vertically down or your shoulder limits your movement.

Tip

Be sure to start with your legs bent. Over time, you can try to keep your legs straight. Slowly work your way toward the final position, as it may feel very unfamiliar at first. If Skin The Cat is still too difficult for you, you can try lowering the rings and jumping up from the floor. It is advisable to place a safety mat or similar on the floor to begin with.
