Whew! It was definitely a challenge but I love it!

W1/D1: Strength Foundations

Generally the exercises were great and the feeling after. But, I have two suggestions. After a Superman hold I would add  something that relaxes the back. And the wrist stretches videos seems too fast. It’s difficult to follow if you don’t know these stretches at all.

Basia

Loved it! Would also love to know the rationale behind some of the exercises ^-^. Thanks!

W1/D2: Mobility Foundations

Know this is fun Bodyweight training 🥳 at 210lbs I feel I can be choosy but I’m 2” for 6 feet tall also, so gravity sucks

More instructions would be useful- not clear on how to get in some things and what should be engaged in them etc

Joanna

W2/D1: Handstand Alignment

The instructions for this workout weren’t as clear. I wasn’t sure how long I should be holding each position and/or how many times to do each drill. Other than that, it is a great tactile feedback drill.

So nice to have pain free wrist when having my body weight held up by my hands

W3/D1: Wall Assisted Handstands

Woooooo, my arms are jelly! 
Alt leg l-stands are still scary for me, but after weight shifting last week, I feel in way more controls. Thanks T!

That felt so good!!! Definitely had to modify a bit/do a few less reps after doing two HIIT workouts and core work today, but this was so fun!! Those inchworms are feeling stronger every time 💪☀️💛

W4/D1: Hybrid Handstand Strength

Janelle

Your technique explanations are so helpful!!! Thank you so so much for this! ☀️💛

Feeling the solid one second handstands! Now to keep building!

W4/D2: Kick Up Technique

This was such a good workout!! My core is feeling strong and the mobility was perfect ☀️💪💛

Those leg raise complexessss 👀 so grateful both sets weren’t mandatory haha 

Excited to try the second option!

Option 1 was hardest Ab workout ever! Can’t wait to try option 2!

Alana

W5/D1: Core Conditioning

Thank you so much!! I've definitely had my fair share of awkward falls from handstands so this is always helpful! ☀️💛

I love repeating exercises and drills because it really shows the progress as time goes on. Feeling the weight shift on my hands, activation in my back and lats, and it’s not as scary! 💪 let’s gooooooo
