thesmilingone Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Hi All! I'm just so incredibly happy nowadays, because I conquered two of my greatest fears durint the past few weeks. One was the bridge... I have always been afraid of falling down, and of my hands and legs going out from under me. So I never intended to do brigdes, until in April my coach started to nag me about it. I did my first proper bridge in October...The second one was handstands. I am terrified by being upside down, and I was afraid that my hands would not be strong enough to support my weight. But I have recently lost about 7 kgs, so I thought I'd give them a try. I completed the 28-day handstand challenge and now I am able to hold a full 1-minute handstand, although far from perfect in form. But I'll keep practicing. 2 Quote Link to comment

thesmilingone Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Thank you guys for the kind words To be honest, when I did my first handstand, I was near to tears... I was just sitting on the floor, hands shaking and I was half laughing, half crying because I could not believe what just happened. I think this handstand challenge was great help, it gives you time enough to become more comfortable and feel more secure in an upside down position. Give it a try, girls Quote Link to comment
thesmilingone Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Jeeez, it's been a while! Hopping by to let everyone know that as of yesterday I am officially able to kick up to and hold a nice 15-second handstand WITHOUT ANY SUPPORT FROM THE WALL. Like, in the middle of the room and all! Picture evidence to come as soon as I can grab someone to shoot a couple... Moral of the story: I can freaking reach any kind of goal I set my mind to! 2 Quote Link to comment
