This question comes up all the time And the honest answer is not one or the other. It is both, just in different roles. Here is the simple truth You do not need to be “strong enough first” to start learning skills. And you also cannot ignore strength and expect skills to magically appear. Skills and strength grow together, but they grow differently. What skills actually need Most skills are about: • Body awareness • Balance • Positioning • Coordination • Time under tension in specific shapes A handstand is not about how many push-ups you can do. It is about holding a straight line on straight arms. That means you can (and should) start practicing skills early Even if you feel “weak”. What strength actually does Strength: • Makes skills easier to hold • Makes progressions safer • Expands what skills are possible You build strength through: • Push-ups, pull-ups, squats • Progressions that challenge you • Rest and recovery Strength is the engine. Skills are the steering wheel. The mistake most people make They wait. “I’ll start handstands when I’m stronger.” “I’ll try muscle-ups once I can do more pull-ups.” That delay is what slows everything down. The better approach ✔ Practice skills often, at low intensity ✔ Train strength hard, but fewer days ✔ Let technique improve daily ✔ Let strength improve weekly Think: Skill practice = learning the language Strength training = building the voice Both matter. The real goal Do not choose skills vs strength Learn how to train both at the same time without burning out. 💬 What skill are you currently avoiding because you think you are “not strong enough yet”?

January sets the tone for the whole year. So instead of guessing what we should do… You get to choose the challenge. Each option is designed to: • Build consistency • Create momentum • Actually move the needle (not just “stay busy”) 👇 Vote in the poll below 👇 🅰️ Learn ONE New Skill (Daily Touch) Commit to one skill for the entire month Handstand, L-sit, pull-ups, pistol squat, flow, etc. • 5–10 min per day • Same skill all month • Progress > perfection Best for: people who want identity-level change (“I’m someone who practices skills”). 🅱️ Handstand January (2-Week Focus) Two weeks fully dedicated to handstands. • Daily handstand work (even 5 min counts) • Sunday live calls focused ONLY on handstands • Beginner → advanced friendly Best for: people who want structure + coaching around one iconic skill. 🅲 5,000 Pull-Ups as a Team (Advanced) A collective strength challenge. • Team goal: 5,000 pull-ups in January • Bands & regressions allowed • Logged publicly for accountability Best for: experienced athletes who want a physical grind. 🅳 10 Minutes a Day (No Excuses) Simple. Brutally effective. • Any movement • Any style • Every day Missed days = make-up minutes. Best for: busy humans rebuilding consistency. 🧠 Important There is no wrong choice here. Whatever wins, we commit together. Vote below 👇

Today’s skill is Cartwheel Variations — not for gymnastics points, but to learn how to get out of handstands safely. If you can cartwheel, you can bail sideways instead of panicking forward or backward. Pick your level: ✅ Beginner: Sideways jumps + height over time 🔄 Explorer: Smooth cartwheel (both hands) 🔥 Expert: One-hand cartwheel or paused cartwheel ➡️ Think sideways exit, not height. ⏱ 3–5 minutes is plenty. Quality over speed. 🎥 Videos encouraged! Side angles are great for this one. Post a ✅ or clip to lock in Day 16 ❄️🔥

Consistency is the real skill behind every transformation. And just like strength or balance, it is built the same way, one small action at a time. This week, the Action Log continues with Week 2 of the 100-Minute Challenge and we are also kicking off December’s Advent Adventure Calendar which you will see in a separate post with daily mini skills and challenges. Your mission for this week is simple. Accumulate 100 total minutes of movement over the next 7 days. That is it. Your pace. Your schedule. Your style. If you break it down: - 100 minutes in a week is just about 14 to 15 minutes per day Everything counts when you move with intention. What counts toward your 100 minutes - Strength training - Skill practice - Handstands - Mobility or stretching - Primal movement - Walking or hiking - Hanging or grip work Anything that builds your athleticism counts. Even a quick 5-minute session is a win. You can log it like this “16 minutes today. Total: 34 out of 100.” Be specific if you want feedback. Support others by replying, liking, and celebrating their wins. Staying active here also helps you earn XP and unlock rewards. Your actions do not just build your consistency they raise the standard for the entire community. 💬 What is one action you took today and how many minutes are you at toward your 100 this week?
