The 2014 CrossFit women's champion, Camille Leblanc-Bazinet, takes us through the stages necessary for developing a strong handstand position.
Awesome, isn't she?
Handstands take time and perseverence (I am yet to develop a mature, free standing handstand), but if you can get upside down for just a few minutes everyday, you will get there. Be sure to warm up your wrists and do your shoulder stretches before and after. Downward dog, which we practiced yesterday, is another excellent accompaniment to the handstand progression.
Handstands are excellent for developing over all kinaesthetic awareness, and place hefty demands on your physical learning motors. Being able to do a handstand will, ultimately, make you smarter. And it is a mean party trick.
