Perfect to understand how the equilibrium works! Especially in the hands 👌🏼

Marie

Well... Should have watched this before I asked my question in the last one 😂🤦🏻 

I really appreciate the explanations! This is SUPER helpful.

Katelyn Van Hofwegen

The tips were super helpful, especially where to look. Cannot for the life of me move weight to the front of my hands though 😅

Aaron-Micheal

I got some air time!! 🙌🏽Working on balancing my right and left side when it comes to leading leg! 💪🏽

Aliyah

Actually when I started this program I didn’t expect much of a change/difference but I do! 
I feel like I have way better control now and it’s just delightful to workout with T!

Thank you for breaking down hand positioning, kicking up synchronized and proper alignment.

Super interesting and useful! Can’t wait to practice my kicks! 🙌☺️

Fabi

Set aside 10-15 minutes to practice just your kick up entry to handstand  Things to focus on:  
-   Arms by ears  
- Moving the arms and legs in unison to maintain straight body alignment  • Keeping core, legs, and glutes squeezed  
- Pressing up to the ceiling as soon as contact is made with the floor (no sinking of the  shoulders or bending of the elbows)  
- Looking between out index and thumb  
- Strong pushing leg and a straight kicking leg  
- Hands facing forward and weight into the top of the hand  
- Aim to hit an “L” or “V” shape before bringing legs together

Really starting to feel the skills developing although I have 0 body awareness so I can tell it’s going to take some time 😂

Amazing! Feeling sooooo good after that session

Tessy

W2/D2

Wall planks were definitely a shoulder burner!!! 😪 🔥 and when I was doing the kick ups my body naturally wanted to hold the handstand 😆 🧘🏼‍♀️

Sheri

Great engagement 👍🏽. My head is extremely sensitive to the floor when doing headstands so I implemented a headstand stool so my shoulders can support me instead of my skull and it was good! I also seen some slight progress in my handstand control so definitely looking forward to continuing. Thank you!

Sophia

W3/D1

Man, I know this  will pay off in the end.

Chris

Great strength, skill & endurance building foundations for handstands. Feeling stronger every time I do one of your workouts 👍💪👏

Great workout. I am losing the fear of being upside down and of aborting a handstand whn losing balance.

However,  there could be a few more details in the descriptions. Sometimes I don't know for how long to hold and what it actually meant by a "repetition".

I also need to work a little more on my flexibility but was able to do all the exercises if not as well executed. Not sure why at 55 I decided to learn how to handstand but it compliments my ashtanga yoga really well. 

I have definitely built more strength

Kirsten

With the box assisted tuck handstand, I couldn’t get my bent leg in the same angle as yours I think because of my mobility between the split of my legs. When I tried to match your bent leg’s angle, my straight leg would come in as opposed to being fully straight upwards. Not sure how to work on that?

It was helpful to constantly be practicing different handstand positions and drills. I also quickly noticed I need to still build my wrist resiliency. Thank you for the helpful drills. :)
