Playing with the handstand!

Hello My Gymnastics Vagabonders!!

I would like to play a little tomorrow in class. I fell like as adult we tend to not let loose and try new things. SO I am taking the handstand as a Platform and we are going to run with it. (NOT literally)

Warm Up:
Ring swings
Crab Walk
Single leg hops
5 Shoulder dislocates

Flexibility:Shoulders and wrists mainly- Attempt a few Hollow holds to fish rock log rolls

HANDSTANDS!!

Inverted on the rings;

  • The kick over
  • Touch and go
  • Inversion and hold
Wall Climbs
  • Climb and hold
  • Work the pull away and balance
The free Handstand
  • Wheelbarrow Walk
  • Partner Holds
  • Handstand Walking
Handstand Pressing if there is interest.

WOD
3 rounds
15 FT Handstand Walk or 2 wall climbs
10 Toes to Bar or "V" snaps
10 HIGH box jumps ( scaled to wtd squat jumps)


*****Extra Work for now or later 


Take a little time to work on your flexibility and mobility. These two things when worked on a regular basis will greatly improve your range of motion and ability to keep in good alignment when lifting and doing other activities.  Try holding a straddle stretch for 3 minutes cumulative and then a right and left leg forward in a Split/or scaled variation, one leg on a box, couch or other item about 20-30" off the ground lean forward towards the extended leg and hold.
