Handstand Pushup Success

We have been working handstands often in the gym lately.  We’re excited about all the improvement we’re seeing.  I want to point out one specific success story though.  The other day Roz Jungwirth was talking about how she’s never been able to conquer the handstand push up.  I knew she had it in her though from the great control she demonstrates on her negatives and well…she’s just dang strong!  So we made a couple of adjustments and with just a few simple cues she busted out her first handstand push up.  Way to go Roz!  Huge accomplishment, we’re all super proud of and excited for you.

   

Remember that we are adding a gymnastics class to our schedule starting in January…get in there and try it out to improve your handstand skills as well!
