CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: Handstand Practice Challenge!
Many of you probably thought right after reading the challenge title that standing on your hands is not possible.
That is completely false! Even if you aren't a seasoned gymnast, acrobat, or yogi, you can start working towards handstands.
Flipping your body upside-down is actually wonderful for your body.
It helps by increasing circulation to the upper body and relieving the constant pressure placed on your lower half. It feels great- and you’ll always feel lighter, refreshed and rejuvenated after a little handstand practice session. :)
Some additional benefits of handstands:
• Increased upper body and core strength and stability
• Great for strengthening and stabilizing fingers, hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, and your entire
core
• Increased body and limb spatial awareness
• Can even boost your mood and help to regulate your metabolism
Your challenge is to do a little handstand practice EACH day this week!
Here’s a great post on handstand progressions that will walk you through all of the steps:
Have fun with this challenge!? Are you in for giving it a try!?
