Handstands!

Take about ten minutes to play around with some handstand drills today. Listed below are some drills in roughly ascending order of difficulty. And really do play! Find goofy positions. Work on movements that are confusing and weird and make you giggle. Don’t take flinging yourself upside-down too seriously!

Workout of the Day
AMRAP in 21 minutes:
10 push ups
20 back squats (from the floor)

Every 7 minutes, including at the start of the workout, run 800 m

Your back squat weight should be very light, both so that you don’t get exhausted by the high rep count and so that you’re comfortable and safe getting the back from the floor, over your head, onto your back, and back down again each set. Rounds of back squats should be unbroken or two sets.

When you get back from each run, pick up right where you left off in the AMRAP.
