Today’s headstand practice. It’s been at least a week since I did one. I don’t know why I lax off on these instead of taking 10 minutes (or less) each day to just practice. I could tell the difference in just taking that short time off. Still, managed it without using the wall but was plenty sweaty by the end.

2018.04.06 Headstand Practice. One of the better ones I’ve had since starting back with the practice. This used to be a lot easier, but that’s what happens when I don’t practice. Still, pretty happy with it. I just need to keep at it to get back to this being more effortless.

Made it up into a headstand on first try and didn’t need the wall to balance on. Didn’t use the wall at all tonight. Yay! A bit wobbly, for sure, but every time is a little better.

A good practice today. Got up easily, didn’t need wall at all. I may give a headstand a try this weekend out in the yard with no ‘safety net’ and see how I do. Concentrated on moving my left leg around today. My right is easier to do, and that is my ‘default’ thing, but I must work on both sides. I don’t quite have the strength yet to do both in one session, so I need to work on the left cos it’s the hardest.

Unlike yesterday, when I could not get up into the headstand, I did make it on the first try today, however, I had to use the wall a lot before I could get my balance, and then a couple of times during the headstand to keep it. Still really wobbly on these, but I know from experience that it just takes practice to get the balance and strength back, so, working on it.

Bad shirt for headstands, fell over my face immediately, but I got up on first try and didn’t need to touch the wall at all. Didn’t practice at all last week cos I was just feeling lousy. I could see me getting on my head and going into a coughing fit. Didn’t think it would be ideal.

Yesterday the headstand was smooth and easy, didn’t need the wall at all -- it just flowed. Today’s practice sucked so bad! Took several tries to get up and get my balance, had to finally use the wall to touch off of .. it was just bad. Why is it so different from day to day? no clue. I probably need to do this more than 3x a week to get it more consistent again.

Playing around with headstands. It’s been a long time since i did one. Pretty sure my hips are not over my shoulders properly, and couldn’t get second foot up, but three minutes of trying left my legs shaking and had me breathing hard. Geez. That’s crazy! Well, that’s what happens when you stop practicing and also gain back a bunch of weight. 😕
