    I found that learning how to "fall" helped me a lot. Rather than do a cartwheel where I would often turn into it too quickly, I needed to find a way to bail if both my feet went too far. I learned to bend my arms and slowly somersault roll out. It makes the whole thing feel so much safer. I recommend it!

      Thanks for that idea! I wondered about that b/c the fear was related to falling on my HEAD but the practice cartwheels didn't really threaten the head. I think I'm gonna work on it in secret and show my kids when I am ready. I'm 59. They're amazed I can do pushups.

    This was actually more helpful than I expected. I feel like every other "learn to do handstand"-tutorials all start with "to do a handstand, you have to first do a handstand" and frankly I'm too much of a wimp for that. These exercises were actually really helpful even for those of us that are too afraid to go upside down yet so I very much appreciate it. Will be trying this out!

  • @Rachel-wg3nv
    @Rachel-wg3nv Před rokem +8

    Great video, thanks! You have such an easy going, relaxed way of explaining it. I am 42 years old and started teaching gymnastics 5 years ago after having not done any gymnastics for about 20 years. I do cardio, flexibiltiy and strength training, so kept my condition up, but didn't do a handstand for a long time! Because of the teaching role, I wanted to learn it again. I can stand om my hands and throw my legs in the air, but am not able to stand up straight and keep my legs in the air tight together. Will definitely try out these exercises and am glad to see they are so different. Indeed, other tutorials start with the one with your nose to the wall.... eeks!! The cartwheel routine is the same as how I teach girls how to do it, it really works and it is how I learned it myself again.

    How many of us are like Livinleggins’ dog, who looked up, watched her handstand, then laid it’s head back down?
    I think the inversion with feet on a box will be my exercise, as I suspect my shoulders are the weak point. I have good balance in headstand, so presume that some of that muscle memory would carry over.
    The most difficult part for me will be to practice regularly.

    Do you actually have to straighten out your body properly in order to get a handstand, or is it enough to build up your strength? I've got scoliosis so my shoulders never do things symmetrically, so will this be impossible no matter how much I try?
