Episode 36
Handstands are cool. That's actually the main reason most people want to practice them. Sure, you can also build spatial awareness and improve your shoulder health, but cool and fun are excellent benefits in their own rights.
And unless you're looking to be a performer, we highly suggest sticking with those as your goals. Performers have unique needs, but if you just wanna have fun doing something cool, handstand training is a matter of three main factors:
- Safety - learning to bail and control your body
- Practice - developing the capabilities and abilities you need to perform the skill
- Attitude - keeping things fun and dealing with frustration
This episode walks you through exactly how we suggest training handstands and works together with our (absolutely monstrous) handstand tutorial.
Handstands are a skill that almost everybody can learn.
