Great job, need More shoulder AND corre strength & lef mobility

Mozart

Feels good to start for real and spending a good amount of time on great drills. Can’t wait to see where this takes me 🚀

Josephine Graabæk

Great! Videoing really helped showing me if I was in good alignment. Which I wasn’t at first!

Jacqueline

Day three of this one and I’m starting to feel like I can maybe move on!

Carrie

Why do I find it so hard to breathe when I'm upside down? 😅

Kinda

I can’t kick up to the wall yet, but I did the L drills!

Hey Chelsea! I’ve started your program a few days ago. I can’t yet get the tuck jumps/ don’t have the strength yet so would you recommend just repeating the days until I can hold myself for 20 seconds without a problem?

Katy

Jorge

Wall drill L shape was a challenge but it’s just the beginning so I’m excited to see growth!

Alexandria

Jessica

It seems impossible to remove the banana back and move closer to the wall. I finished the drill though but moving hands was the most difficult thing to do 🙈 need to work more arm and core strength for a long hold! 

Thank you! Started my day 1 today 😇

Neha

Chechu

Definitely going to repeat day one until I feel more strength. I struggled on the holds to get up to the full 20 seconds, but love the drills!

Sabrina

Great!! I love the instruction and that you keep it simple. A few components to focus on.

Veronica

Way tougher than I thought! But all of the tips and tricks helped.

Dani

I’m having a hard time staying upside down for long periods of time as I feel so much pressure I’m my head. Any tips for this?

Sarah

That was tough! I’m not in an L let, but I’m working on it!

Jess

Kate

Fatima

I loved it but it was hard! 😅 It challenged me for sure, more than I thought. So I’m happy to be in the challenge. I should be better by the end of it ☺️

Federica

Yikes that was really hard!! I can’t wait to see progress as it starts to feel easier!

Leanne

Tania

Wow! That was not easy! First day doing this …excited to see my progress!

Laurie Weiler

Inder

Holly

Had to start the challenge over because i couldn't keep consistent but determined to finish this time!🤸‍♀️

Maria

Starting this challenge late but feeling so good about it! Thnak you for this✨💛 first day was super hard but hoping to see some improvement over time

TiffCowdrey

Robyn

Well explained and i loved that you did the exercises along.

Karen

I feel like my brains are going to explode…is this normal??

Jenny

The L holds are challenging! But feeling 💪

Lynsey

Julia

Your instructions are great and super clear. I find that in the 5 and 6 video i was doing it but was getting fatigued  and couldn’t keep up. how many time should I be doing the handstands? How often to take a break?

Dori

Kalana

Instructions were great!  You always make it look so beautiful! Just having a hard time making the L. Had my kids try to film me so I can see what I look like.Def need to do more wrist exercises!

Mallori

So nice to get back into a handstand practice. I fell off the consistency wagon for quite a few months, but nice to see some of that muscle memory still there :)
The alignment cue was so simple but so helpful. I always thought about cambered fingers, but never the direction of my pointer fingers! Thanks!!

Ande Gaitan

Amanda Carson

Sasha

Was great.
But my shoulders already feel sore.. like I’m not able to hold my own weight for that “long” 🙈

Shelli

I kicked today stronger than ever and felt my arms strong responding to the weight although I didn’t touch the wall yet 😅 my Lshape is a disaster I need to get stronger, I’ll try with your rising up stronger drills together with this challenge 🙏🏽 thank you! 😘

Zoraida

How to Schedule:

Warm your wrists up and then watch the “Let’s talk about..” videos. These will break down your  movements. 

Complete your drills on the wall. Each drill is to be completed 5x with 60 second breaks between each exercise. Roll out your wrists between exercises or sides to keep them warm.

RUH: Day 1 | Wall

I love how you share your experience and motivations

Luis

Ive been participating since Jan 3rd but I just now got a chance to go back and watch your intro video.. I didn’t realize you had to post a vid with a sign in it to be in the challenge! Any chance I can I still send a vid in now!?

RISING UP: HANDSTAND CHALLENGE 3.0 INTRO

Excited to get back on the hands after hurting my wrist in Sept

Donna

Jesica Clemmons

You give me hope that it’s not too late to start!

Agnes

Let’s talk about MY BACKROUND

Maya

Brianna Ortega

How to schedule YOUR program 🗓

Loved the clear cues and direction! Very specific details with alignment for handstand prep. Can’t wait to progress in my practice!

Kayla B

Bethany

I love how each video is a conversation. Little moments of you gathering your thoughts in a way that easily helps me connect to BEING HUMAN. ♥️

LIBRARY | Let’s talk about …

Loving this! Teaching a handstand workshop series in April and need a refresher 🤪 feels good to be a student and always love learning from you!

Ashley

Let’s talk about THE BASICS, HAND PLACEMENT, + T/Y CAMPS

TATIANA

Phew good round today. Felt the control but by the end it was a bit hard 😅

RUH: Day 2 | Wall

Starting to feel stronger as I repeat these first free sessions!

RUH: Day 3 | Wall

Tucks feel impossible but I’ll keep trying!

RUH: Day 4 | Wall

The wall jumps were fun but tricky lol my legs kept wanting to do a tuck jump instead.

Cady

RUH: Day 5 | Wall

Felt more confident belly to wall this time 💪🏻

RUH: Day 6 | Wall

My belly definitely didn’t make it all the way to the wall, but I’m working on it! Progress!!

Great. It’s clicking and I’m excited to keep learning! This last week has been so fun and realistic! I love how short but effective the practice is.

Thank you for doing such a great job of explaining all of this! It seems a little easier each day.

RUH: Day 7 | Wall

It’s only getting easier! Practiced the pikes aswell and happy to report they are also getting easier. I can’t get all the way to the wall yet but I feel the momentum building!

Those L-shape holds are definitely feeling easier!

Anne-Marie Schryer-Roy

RUH: Day 8 | Wall

Oohhh I definitely have work to do with that back to the wall drill

The new drill was difficult to get the form correct. I didn’t feel like I could achieve that pretty straight line with my back. Enjoyed it non the least though :)

Working on straightening that banana back and getting some mini one legged hang time!

RUH: Day 9 | Wall

Floor taps and killer! I kinda love them though

Those knee tucks are SO challenging. I low key hate them 😅😅😅

Feeling my shoulders after those foot taps🔥

RUH: Day 10 | Wall

Tuck jumps are still 50/50, heel rolls are going well with my shoulders feeling more solid!

Those jumps will be the end of me😂 I like the heel rolls better😄

RUH: Day 11 | Wall

Pike jumps are definitely starting to feel better, but I still can’t get my hips to the wall.

I still can’t get the pike jumps! ☹️the daily practice continues…

My L shape feels better and better😁🙌🏻

RUH: Day 12 | Wall

The L shape knee ticks are feeling so much better!

I feel better closer to the wall and my L tucks feel more stable with my shoulders! 💪🏻

RUH: Day 13 | Wall

My belly is definitely not all the way to the wall, but I’m trying!

I feel like I am able to hold for a longer period of time comfortably, so I’ll take that as a win! :)

RUH: Day 14 | Wall

So much fun! I like the cue of "communicate with your body!"

I still have fear when I think there's no wall to "save" me and then I also kicked up w less core engagement. Any drills I can work on to improve 😭

RUH: Day 15 | Center of Room

It was good! But a problem I keep running in to is my left hand keeps   hopping forward as soon as I get up. Any tips to fix this. I also have severe scoliosis, 47 degree curve to the right side. Wondering if I have to maybe offset my left hand forward? Maybe I'll try that and see what happens. Haha typing/thinking out loud here 😅

Feeling more confident on my less dominant side 💪🏻. It’s so fun being upside down! 😋

Still trying the L jumps, but great drills🙌🏻

RUH: Day 16 | Center of Room

Hi, I can’t lose the fear with tuck jumps…some advice??? Thank you!!

Natallia

RUH: Day 17 | Center of Room

The L jumps are surprisingly easier on my weaker side. Love these - I’m feeling stable!

One day I will get those jumps😄👏🏻

Fletcher

RUH: Day 18 | Center of Room

Not a huge fan of stag legs and forget about straddle jumps 😝

Everyday I‘m surprised by those drills😆😉🙌🏻

Taylor

RUH: Day 19 | Center of Room

Pikes are so hard!! The jump is tough enough but to hold it is just about impossible 🫠

Chelsea K 

Modified with L jumps…still trying to get them!🙏🏻

RUH: Day 20 | Center of Room

I like the tuck holds, V legs and straight legs! 🙃

RUH: Day 21 | Center of Room

I really like RUS drills because building strong core and shoulders is beneficial in overall health and pushing the body in endeavors like handstands and other physical activity.  It's also qhick enough to do drills that even in a busy day, 30-45 min is attainable

Melinda Guerrero

Finally can do the straddle one way better!

RUH: Day 22 | Center of Room

RUH: Day 23 | Center of Room

Feeling strong! Getting more time in the air!💛

Getting longer holds, even on the wall!🙌🏻

RUH: Day 24 | Center of Room

Today I was tired I manage to do the training but I took it slow. I’m proud for listening to my body.

Clara

RUH: Day 25 | Center of Room

These drills feel so much better at week 4 and much stronger at them than week 1 for sure

RUH: Day 26 | Wall Playtime

Hold time gets better every time - also with the wall😉

Not one long holds today however I did three holds in a row which is amazing

RUH: Day 27 | Center of Room

RUH: Day 28 | Center of Room

RUH: Day 29 | Center of Room

There is always something new, even at the end of the challenge!🙌🏻

OMG the shin hops seem surreal. Totally out of my reach.. but excited to keep getting stronger and get there one day 💪🏼💪🏼

Laura

RUH: Day 30 | Center of Room

So fun going through handstand journeyband learning so many strength building drills. The more you practice the more you learn about yourself!

Excellent!!! I loved this challenge. It was exactly what I needed! I finally moved away from the wall, learned safe exit of handstand and can now keep hold, for several sec but still HOLD!
