Happy Friday. Each Friday this year, I have challenged myself – and YOU – to attempt to do a handstand. Whether that handstand is assisted against a wall, independent or even in some funky fun position. The point it is to challenge our comfort zone, gain strength, coordination, balance and flexibility through our handstand challenge.
I love hanging out and acting like a kid at recess. Playing around with my kids and doing handstands, gymnastic moves and more is what I enjoy doing. Having the added challenge of remembering to DO and TAKE a PHOTO of myself doing a handstand each week is fun! I know I am getting stronger.
One could say that I am a big kid at heart. I love embracing my inner child. I guess that is why I have come up with this challenge. My friend from high school has been inspired by my handstand challenge each week. He decided to share with me his handstand Friday photo with me via facebook.
Even my good friend Drake, although admittedly claims he can not do a handstand… played along this week by drawing a cartoon sketch of himself doing a handstand! Super fun! The point being, have fun with it!

I did! I had a review of yoga clothes this past week that said “future handstander” on it (I’m pregnant) so of course I had to do one 😉 I’m also trying to do one every day. They’re so much fun!

Once the baby bump is gone, I am trying this.
