So Bre, what’s it going to take to get you off your head and working on those handstands? [/quote]
i was thinking this the other night - i will ask them to open up the little special secret aerobics area for me to practice in…
is this actually going to make me stronger, or just make me look like an asshole?[/quote]
A handstand is a foundational strength element in gymnastics, but if getting stronger is your goal, I’m not sure I’d spend a lot of time on it. I think a handstand requires more balance and body awareness than any significant degree of strength.
