Can you do a handstand?

[SeanCailleach]

Fun challenge:
Hold a plank
Downward dog
Half handstand with knees on sofa
Handstand against the wall
Held handstand
Walk on hands/ pirouette

So impressed @ShowOfHands
Would love to be able to do that.

@SeanCailleach I wouldn’t even know where to begin!!

I can do them all except the pirouette on my hands which I've never tried. I can handstand walk about 20 feet. I've been doing CrossFit 5-6 times a week for several years and gymnastics is a big part of it. I can do strict, kipping and deficit handstand push ups as well.

I can do a headstand but not a handstand. I'm fit and strong but very tall with a low centre of gravity and comparatively weak arms/shoulders 😆 even as a kid I could never handstand or cartwheel.

I can do the other stuff on the list no problem.

Wow @VetOnCall that's crazy strength. You can pirouette. You just never tried it.

@itssquidstella you know that's awesome.

@papermonster begin on hands and knees and see if you can straighten into a plank. And bunny hops - great way to entertain small children.

Wow @VetOnCall that's crazy strength. You can pirouette. You just never tried it.

It's just lots of strength training and practice, CrossFit is amazing if you stick at it. I probably can pirouette, I'll try it at some stage if I remember 😄

Can't handstand. I can headstand though.

I can, I can also do a flagpole and the splits.
