GNCFirst attempt at a handstand with a push up. Pretty successful- now I’m challenging myself to be able to complete 20 handstand pushups by the end of July. Took me about a month to be able to gain enough balance but practice makes perfect!!
Who wants to join the challenge with me?
L-Jay Health 
I wish I could do a handstand! Thanks for following my blog.
Love the music for the vid…also, I’m joining the challenge. I’m not sure about 20 handstand pushups, though…
Awesome! Def keep me posted on your progress!
Wow, you are braver than me! I used to be able to do handstands when I was younger but to combine it with a push up is insane (in a good way)! Good luck with your challenge…can’t wait to see the video of you busting out 20!
I think I’m still too weak! Haha
You can do it! Takes practice and patience!
I think I’ll pass on this challenge but good luck! It will be great achievement !
I don’t think that I can do this. But thanks for the invite and for following my post. This is awesome!
Thank you for giving my blog post a like. If only I could achieve such a handstand! lol
Funny story..When I was in school the way to fit in was to do the perfect handstand. Mind you..we only had asphalt and no grass. I totally did it. I was up, my legs were straight. So proud then….wait for it…Boom!..on my head. so, I’m at the nurses office. Pain! But what did I say? “Did I do it? Was it perfect? Am I accepted now?” I think that was 5th grade. That was the first and last handstand. Just thought I’d share.
Wow thats that’s a funny story.yea handstands can e very intimidating just have to have confidence with balancing your body. But I don’t blame you lol
I’m going to take this challenge with you! I’ll post a video response when I do it!
Awesome! Im looking forward to it! Lets do this 🙂
Wow, and I thought I was fit! This is awesome. I love stories of transformation ((physical or spiritual). Thanks for following my blog, and I’m back at ‘ya;)
HAHA you are fit! Im just nuts lol. Look forward to reading your articles. Thanks for stopping by and reading!
Okay, it’s on. I am sooo going to figure out a hand stand push up.
Try and get someone to assist you before you go up. After a few times you will be able to do it on your own.
You’re saying my six year old as a spotter might not be adequate? lol
[…] I am also taking on L-Jay’s handstan-pushup challenge. He’s going for twenty. I’m shooting for five. Share […]
I would LOVE to be able to do this. The balance part will definitely take me a while to master as well as the core and upper-body strength. I may not be able to get it by the end of July, but I’m getting as close as possible.
Awesome! Let me know how you are doing. I did 10 last night
That is so cool. One of my aims is to be able to to a handstand push up without the use of a wall…
So far I can do about 5 seconds of no wall – but need to build up abit more strength for the pushup!
Great exercise goal… in addition to actually doing the handstand push-up, it may be helpful to work on a progression of exercises to build the shoulders eg: regular push-ups….feet elevated push ups…military presses… I use handstand pushups (with my feet in the straps) as part of my TRX circuit sometimes, and there’s nothing easy about them… now I’m going to have to try this against the wall !!! Keep it up!!!!
