In Reply to: Dr. D, a breakthrough in handstands! posted by danny on November 12, 2004 at 5:41 pm:
I have been doing 25 attempts a day in front of a wall (to catch myself when needed) as part of the 90 day challenge. I actually had to work up to 25 attempts a day at first & needed to go every other day when I did at first. Now I'm doing them every day. I'm working on being able to balance for 30-60 seconds, then will work on walking. This seems to be about right, but really have no idea when I should move onto walking.. Anyway, I had a breakthrough of sorts too about a week ago & started to feel the balance point differently. It was very much like standing, a solid sort of feel & I could correct myself much of the time too. Really cool. I haven't been able to do it for more than a few seconds at a time so far, but it's feeling better when I am balanced - 'cause I feel it... and it's happening more often from the kick-up. Before it was more like a guessing thing, feeling that I'm not falling, but not feeling it solidly as much. Hard to describe, but cool! It feels like I'll actually get it and keep it once I do. It was encouraging enough for me to get some more longer term goals in relation to this too - as I feel more natural on my hands like that. I'm also gonna' work towards being able to do V-ups and eventually press up into a handstand. That would be totally cool - something I never thought was possible for me but I think just might be (in time) now. It will be great when I get to the point you are! Congrats again!
