Get your Pravilo
To build up a functional Pravilo, you need the following:
– a construction/ room /trees
– straps for hands and feet
– winch or ballast weight
– pullies and ropes
Usually, you need the assistance of another person who lifts and takes you down.
It is essential to learn Pravilo from a knowledgeable professional. Without knowledge, you can injure somebody, or at least you just don’t benefit from the full potential of Pravilo’s benefits.
The construction
Most of Pravilo is made of metal or wooden constructions. The construction is the most expansive part of it.
However, you don’t need a construction if you want to make it in a room. You need just 4 fixed hooks (or 8 hooks if you want to expand along the ground) to the ceiling or wall and attach a winch. This kind of Pravilo also doesn’t break the space into rooms, so you have more space.
The same people are using trees. What a beautiful idea; however, finding trees in a suitable configuration is not easy.
Proportion of Pravilo
- If Pravilo is higher, the body will bend sharper, which causes more stretching and more pressure on intervertebral discs and joints.
- For people with herniated discs (or other serious injuries or poor range of motion), expanding very gently on the ground – without bending (stretching) is recommended.
- If Pravilo is longer relative to height, the body bends (stretch) less.
- If Pravilo is longer relative to width, it will be easier to rotate, but the body is expanding and stretching less to the sides.
- If Pravilo is wider relative to length, it will be harder to rotate, but the body is expanding and stretching more to the sides.
Some guides recommend having arms in the same line with diagonal legs – such that wrists copy straight lines to the diagonal angles. The body makes the shape of an X. That means that the ankles are a little further from each other than the wrists; however, the angle between the legs and arms remains the same.
On the other hand, some guides recommend the ‘principle of variety’ – using a wide range of variety to develop a wide range of motion and power.
