This was a tough one. However, I am so proud that I could finish it.👊

Kirsten

The hardest part new routine wise is figuring out overhead shoulder shrugs/L stand shrugs, my brain was struggling to figure out what appears to be a simple movement lol 🥲

Gabrielle

Carla

Margo

Ohh my gosh my shoulders are dead! 💀 I absolutely loved this workout, I didn’t wanna start but wow I love that burn. And the progress is unreal! 💪🏼🥳

Tina

Had a week off and couldn’t wait to start off where I left. Wasn’t disappointed, another great session 😊

Stacey

Another great training in the books 💪🏼
But why am I scared of being chest to wall ? 😬

Marie

The wall L sits have become easier for me over the weeks. I’m getting closer to having my body weight stacked!

Laura

that tummy side hold!! 😳 what I needed after a few days of forced rest!

Fabi

This was the perfect addition to my upper body work and really got my core and shoulders burning!! 🔥

I’ve never been brave enough to do a wall handstand on the tummy side but I did it today! 
Forced my sister to stand behind me if I’d fall but I didn’t!

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!

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

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

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. :)

Hard! Hahaha would be nice if there were regressions

Incredible! I felt the enjoyable struggle and I loved the variety, the challenge and the areas I improved on through the weeks to get ready for this weeks exercises. It also showed where I still need to work on, but I am grateful for it. Thanks LittleT! ;)

FINISHED!! Happy to have completed it & loved it. It was my first handstand challenge. I am excited to continue to progress with my handstands and exercises to help with my gymnastic training 🤩🤙  Mahalo LittleT!🌺🙏🏝️

Felt great ! Apart from rolling my lats… kinda painful like it’s always really tight in there. Any other possibilities for those ?
