I had to modify a decent amount of the sets but it was a great workout!

Abaigeal

Butt kicker fo sho! Advance in several exercises but I modified and motivates me to get to those advanced movements ;)

Andrea

Carla

Had to simplify some exercises and improvise with equipment but still a great session 😊

Stacey

Some of the moves were too advanced and I didn’t have enough equipment but tried my best :)

Celia Alice

That was such a good workout!! Didn't have the right equipment for the one arm tuck but practiced balancing!!

I found these quite challenging. My straddle isn't very good yet, and I didn't have enough equipment at home to do some of these. Some variations would be great for those who aren't quite able to do the exercises well yet.

Katrina

Have a few more variations on exercises and more equipment variations that you could use instead if gyms don’t have that option

Jade

A few too many pieces of specialty equipment, had to improvise a lot for this one. But what I did do..... TOUGH 👍🏿

Aaron-Micheal

Aiste

Fabi

One of my most favourite push-ups!
Give this one a try and see how many reps you can do! 

Recommend doing this one on a “softer”‘surface so there isn’t too much resistance on the ground when it comes to the turning of the hands! 

You ca also try this one modified on your knees

Alt Psuedo - tricep push-up

- Roll forward to a reverse plank position 
- Roll back into a compressed pike

Felt good to stretch the wrists so thoroughly

Carl

W1/D2

Christine

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

Chelsey

Hope

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 👍💪👏

W3/D2

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. :)
