The Handstand Goal
3 Dec
One of my November 2010 Goals was to:
Every morning when I wake up I should do four laps back and forth in my apartment walking on my hands.
I should also then do 2 minutes of still handstands.
Why handstands? I have no idea. I’ve just been practicing them lately and knew some consistent work on them would improve my capabilities rapidly.
So I did these two exercises every day with the exception of 2 or 3 days when I was sick. However after only a week of doing this, I was easily able to steadily hold a handstand for over a full minute!
Here’s some quick video proof:
My favorite trick is walking on my hands and then “sitting” down in a chair….does this have ANY hope of a practical use in the future? NOT A CHANCE! But it’s kind of fun :-)
Nev, you have superb balance and grace. Great job!
Thanks :-)
It came from simply DOING the handstands everyday. Each day I could hold them longer and longer
If you point your toes, you will be able to maintain a greater sense of balance, as well as, further toning your gluts and calfs. Have you ever went to a spin class? Thoughts?
I sometimes do that. I HAVE been to spin class many times, it’s good stuff!
I stopped going only because I used to bike over 15 miles every other day on a real bike.
Currently I’ve been doing a lot of Bikram Yoga:

You’re my hero.
I’ll break out my cape!
sounds like porn music.
You would know!
Very good Mister. I like your blog. And I will try to do also handstands. Greets, the German
