hey there my name is Shelley Ary and I am the CEO of Shelly Flex Athletics this is the introduction to the ultimate Flex course that I created for free in order to help you discover that with the combination of flexibility strength balance and body awareness your body is capable of achieving extraordinary things in this video I'm going to show you how I've helped thousands of students Master their handstands create jaw-dropping shapes and perform amazing feats with their bodies that they never dreamed to be possible using my unique flexed method the methods and Concepts that I
will share with you in the following trainings are a culmination of everything that I have learned throughout my 25 plus years dedicated to my own movement training 15 plus years performing contortion aerial silks and hand balancing and over 20 years testing and perfecting the very same Frameworks that I Ed to help my students achieve insane results so I know that they work my transparent intention in creating this free value packed video series is that once you get a taste of what your body is capable of you will want to explore the possibilities of what you
can accomplish and that by going through this series you'll be able to determine if working more closely with me and my team of professional coaches is the right Next Step for you in order to achieve your goals and if after watching this video series you determine that us working together is not the right Next Step for you I hope this free course will at least serve as a Launchpad to help you jump start your movement journey and give you a glimpse into what you're capable of so I'd like to ask you what is your why
why did you sign up for this free course what makes you interested in improving your flexibility strength balance and body awareness what are you hoping to get out of it the answer might seem simple at first you're looking to learn how to do a handstand or improve your flexibility but let's dig a little bit deeper than that why is it important to you to learn a handstand or to be more flexible how would being able to do a handstand or a split make you feel or perhaps you're here because you're seeking relief from your low
back pain or tight hips but again how does that impact you does your back ache after sitting in the car do your hips feel tight no matter how much you try to stretch what does your pain keep you from doing maybe you're here because you want to improve your skills on the pole or aerial apparatus or advance to the next level in your yoga practice so again I ask you why do you aspire to perform or compete or perhaps share your knowledge and expertise with others so that they too can experience the joy of discovering
their body's potential or do you simply enjoy moving your body pushing yourself to the Limit and chasing the high of unlocking new skills you never dreamed to be possible for me hand balancing is an escape an escape from the daily stressors of life and a chance to spend time on me and me alone it's my opportunity to push my body to the Limit and to chase that Adrenaline Rush of unlocking new skills and exploring my body's potential so the reason I ask all these questions is because understanding your why and exploring your why directly correlates
with how much success you will have and without having a strong why it's very unlikely that you'll be successful in reaching your goals or even finishing this free course for that matter think about your why as a compass it is the very thing that will help you keep your focus and guide you when things get hard when you have total Clarity on your why you will do whatever it takes to get what you want so your first assignment is to really sit and think about what's driving you why do you care about your body and
how it feels looks and functions get as specific as possible here the more detailed you are with your why the easier it is to fight for it and with that I'll see you in the next video where we will establish your Baseline for your Mobility
