Handstand Drills and Handstand Skills
We’re working handstand walking today – it’s a really challenging skill that has no end of scaling options – both up and down! You’ll see below which options we’ll be working on today, and I’m also including some links to Carl Paoli’s GWOD website, which has some REALLY great handstand progressions.

We’re ALSO working sprints today. DON”T SKIP THE RUNNING DAY!!! The only way you’ll ever get to a point where you don’t HATE RUNNING is to RUN MORE!! And it’s not even that far today!! Seriously – you can’t run 1000 meters? Chicken……
This article made my day when I found it – Why You Should Run if You Hate Running. Soooooo true!
Anyway, I hope to see you today!
