Andrea, a professional aerialist, demonstrates the Russian climb, a rope-climbing technique that uses core and leg drive instead of arm strength. She shows how to position one leg between you and the rope and use a step-and-step motion to climb efficiently.
So I'm Andrea, I'm a professional aerialist and I'm very efficient at climbing. One of the most efficient ways to climb is what we call the Russian climb. That's what I'm going to demonstrate and then I'll show it to you. In terms of how efficient it can be, the better you get at it. The first position you're going to take.
Is placing.
Your leg.
Like a tabletop.
In between you and the rope. You're going to.
Grab on, pick up the rope with your other foot, step it on top of the foot, and.
Then use your legs.
To push upwards.
Reach up, reach up. You're going to king do that same thing in the air.
Stand up.
So to get the most out of this climb, you're going to engage your core and your legs more than pulling with your arms, so you're saving and conserving energy you have in your arms.
So the higher.
I bring my legs.
Up, the.
Further I can.
Climb up the rope.
