Suddenly, wanting to learn to stand on your hands doesn’t seem so scary.
Maybe you have had practice doing yoga headstand poses, maybe you have even learned how to do a headstand and are now ready for the next step…
Learning how to hold a handstand is not an easy journey – it is a challenge and that is one of the reasons why we love them! It’s the ultimate in bragging rights.
When you start doing your practice, watching just one video at home or a tutorial in your lunch break at work, you will be amazed at your progress. Where one week you were struggling to get your feet to the wall, suddenly you are able to train for longer and able to hold your handstand, tentatively, away from the wall… and stay up without falling. Suddenly, you are enjoying it! And almost without you realising, it becomes something within your grasp (for you to work up to).
Learning to hold a straight handstand is an incredibly satisfying fitness challenge – it is hard work.
Get the family involved! Handstands are a skill that is great for grown-ups but also for kids, perhaps you have little ones around that would like to help you with your new project!
Perhaps you are a fitness professional – training for a perfect handstand in the gym or on social media is also fantastic promo for your business and a great way to allow people to feel connected to your journey.
Need a challenge in order to get out of bed in the morning? Why not learn to stand on your hands! And then one day, if you do a good enough job, you can get out of bed ON your hands!
