I usually only workout for 45 mins at lunchtimes so it’s a treat to be able to spend 2-3 hours at a gym during holiday season. . The upshot of these extended sessions which are mostly calisthenics based with some mobility work is that the DOMS hit hard! 3 days after my planche workout and I’m still sore, but that didn’t stop me from another handstand and planche session. . I’m taking a more methodical approach to my handstands this time. Rather than just endlessly perform freestanding attempts, I’m spending time against a wall and getting some mobility work in. Just look at the difference before and after some shoulder openers! . Once my hamstring’s recovered, I’ll be going back to working on handstand press too. . As we’re at the year end, I’ll set my stall out now and say that for 2020, I’ll be continuing my focus on straddle planche, front lever and handstand. Share with me what your focus is going to be, if you like 🙂 . Whatever you get up to to see in the new year, I wish you good health! 🎊 . #handstand #handstandjourney #straddleplanche #backlever #frontlever #straddlefrontlever (at Nuffield Health Liverpool) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6vi0wnJr9H/?igshid=ccjbk6cu6mo5

Handstands, legs and core yesterday. . A few things which have helped me progress a little further with handstands: . 🤸🏻 Sleep. Getting more shut-eye *should* have helped my brain process the new motor skills involved. I can't measure it, but there is a heck of a lot of information for my brain to process and sleep is essential for learning. . 🤸🏻 Activation. Waking up my glutes and especially my lats helped to get them to take a more proactive role in maintaining a straighter body line and also with balance. . 🤸🏻 Frequency. Each workout, I've been spending at least a few minutes upside down. . 🤸🏻 Reviewing. Filming and reviewing my form has really helped me see what needs tweaking. . Still a way to go, but really enjoying the challenge. . #dadswholift #fitoverforty #fastedworkout #legworkout #handstandjourney #gobletsquats #dragonflags #reverselunges https://www.instagram.com/p/B0EjAssBlZ_/?igshid=6l2cvgpzly9p

Handstand update. This happened and I’m not entirely sure if I can describe how, but time seemed to slow down once I realised I was balanced. I felt balanced and in control right up to the point in which my disbelief took over and I surrendered to gravity. It was only a matter of seconds, but it felt like I was inverted for ages! . Don’t think I ever expected to describe a handstand in quite this way, but it’s been a frustratingly elusive move to work on. I would liken it to chasing a chicken! 🐓🏃🏻♂️💨 . What I have found helpful to reach this point: . ✔️ Developing shoulder strength to support my bodyweight. ✔️ Increasing shoulder mobility so I can achieve a straighter body line. ✔️ Spending time upside down against a wall to build endurance and work on engaging the muscles to get a straight body line. ✔️ Engaging the entire body to maintain a straight body line, but without overly tensing up. ✔️ Practising kicking up away from a wall. I’ve found it easier to find balance when I kick up into a handstand as opposed to starting against a wall. ✔️ Experimenting with varying hand spacing; narrow to wide. ✔️ Feeling the effects of shoulder depression and elevation whilst inverted. ✔️ Feeling how the different parts of your body can influence your balance. ✔️ Aiming for a straight body line rather than allowing my back to bend. ✔️ Spreading my fingers wide, but creating 3 points of floor contact with my fingertips, ball of the hand and base of the palm. ✔️ Keeping legs straight, together and toes pointed towards the sky. ✔️ Using a flat, level surface with some grip to it to practise upon. ✔️ Persistence. Practising regularly, failing, trying again. . #handstandpractise #handstandtips #handstandjourney #handstandprogress #handstanding #handstandtraining #handstandlove https://www.instagram.com/p/ByNK9dsgzqw/?igshid=1utlzqv1hootk

Minor milestone in my handstand journey was reached today. It doesn't look like much, but it felt very different today. Perhaps it was due to the ab pikes I'd done earlier which activated and opened up my shoulders more than usual, but I was more aware that I was able to control my balance with my shoulders rather than just trying to use my fingers. It was a curious feeling! . #calisthenics #handstandprogression #handstand #handstandjourney #handstandpractice #handstanding https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxs5rauFOuM/?igshid=1ovrhtxkfg224

#Repost per the courtesy of @the_travelling_yogi ・・・ Bye bye Bali 🙏 Such a beautiful final class this morning at @radiantlyaliveyoga ... and then at the end, to be able to press to handstand from the ground with no props was a super emotional moment for me 💕 When I was in Bali last August I was just beginning my press journey and struggling so much with hamstring inflexibility and back weakness. I set a goal that trip to get my press by the time I left ... it didn't happen ... I wasn't ready. Mentally and physically I was pushing, getting frustrated, allowing it to define me. I didn't practice press handstand again until three months ago. This time I had a structured programme but the main difference has been my willingness to go on the journey with more curiosity, with more patience and a hell of a lot less force. We don't get to decide when we 'nail' an asana. It happens when it happens 😊 c'est la vie. Practice + patience = progress #handstandjourney https://www.instagram.com/p/Br6rbhigWmd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8omzzj75214k
