Inspired by every one of you on here posting amazing wins, yesterday I cycled out to Dublin’s first ever Calisthenics park to see what it was about. It had a wall to practice handstands, lovely soft wood chips, and nothing breakable in the vicinity so I decided to see if I could kick up into any sort of handstand. Lo and behold, after a few attempts, I figured out the energy and momentum needed and got both feet up over my head. It wasn’t in the least bit pretty but it felt amazing, and I even managed to hold it for a few seconds (I didn’t video it so you’ll just have to trust me 😉). Now I’ve just watched @Zara Doering ‘s handstand, I will practice that to get used to being upside down. And I’m also going to practice crow to improve my balance as @Brandon Beauchesne-Hebert recommends. Any other tips or advice welcome!

And what is one non-fitness thing you are proud of this week? Could be something big, small, serious, random, or just a win that made you feel good. 👇 Drop it below. I’d love to hear it.

It's been a couple of weeks since I've taken the time to enjoy a new pose! It's such a great way to test out my mobility and work my body in different ways😊 This is the funky lizard pose 🦎 https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DR67VudD2/

I forgot to add my training when we were doing the challenge last week. Press to handstand isn't in my wheelhouse yet. But I can work on straight arm strength and compression, and some handstand practice. Dragonfly I can do, so straightening the arms and seeing if I can turn that and crane into some tuck planche training. And long term goal of a stalder press has to start somewhere. Even just getting my butt off the floor felt like an effort.

We have done a few different challenge styles now, and I’d love to hear what you want next. Should the next weekly challenge be more about: • strength • skills • mobility • flexibility • consistency • something fun and random The goal is to make it something that is: • simple to join • helpful • fun enough to actually do • easy to stay consistent with for the week 👇 Drop your ideas below. What kind of weekly challenge would you actually want to do next?
