Handstand Challenge

I have been practicing everyday in 2019 including going to classes three time a week.
People I talk to always get confused about the fact that there is a class that specialises in handstands but the people actually doing class all agree it is probably one of the most demanding class around. I think I am improving though some days are better than others but it is always fun.

If it helps in the encouragement stakes I am 46 and have only been handstanding since I was 44. It is never to late to get into it

And I am 43 and didn't start practicing until I was 40. And I was never able to do one even as a kid.2 -
Hi, everyone. ☺️
I slacked off a little the last month or so. Back into it again, trying to practice every day and focusing on form vs time.
It’s funny how ridiculously excited I got over four seconds off the wall, though. Lol
You all are so inspiring!3 -
Today was a GREAT handstand day. My consistency was at 100% until I started getting tired. I was sticking it on the first attempt and holding for 10-30sec.
I usually do somewhat of a full body circuit when lifting. I’ll do a set of squats/deadlift, handstand then pull-ups. Then back to squats, handstand...3 -
That’s exciting, @mom23mangos !
I’m still happy with three seconds off the wall. How inspiring!2 -
I'm in!!3

Welcome @lhaddi
I have nothing amazing to report. I am doing daily handstands and being consistent and patient. I have good days and frustrating days. I did see a nice meme about fruit being the last thing to grow on a tree. Getting nice long balances is my brand of fruit2 -

that's a really nice thought. i like it. i'm going to try to remember it0 -
I always figure, time is going to pass anyway. I might as well be one step closer to achieving my goals. And yes, this handstand journey that has already been years in the making is teaching me patience. I try not to let those frustrating days get to me.2

Hear hear! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽☺1 -
I’ve started employing my kids to help spot me, because when I start going away from the wall and holding for a few seconds, I mentally freak and then fall.
It’s been really helpful, to get a better feel for form and to gain strength.0 -
Oh, and I’ve also started doing handstands in random public places, which is proving quite amusing.2

Today was one of those days where it sucked. Couldn't stick it at all. I was about to give up, but I like to at least get one hold. Finally got a nice 30s hold and threw in the towel.4
