Connor Davies Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 So today I decided to switch up my handstand training and do it outside, after my workout. Forget about it. I couldn't even get a headstand. It was a real shock. So for anyone else who always trains their balances in the same environment, at the same time, consider changing things up a bit. Just because you can do a handstand under optimal conditions, doesn't mean you can do the same thing anywhere, anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Abernethy Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Agree that there are valid reasons to mix things up, but also rather than adapting to multiple environments, pull your focus inwards on just your body senses and silence the mind. Competitive sports people do this with varying degrees of success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Taylor Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Occasionally I close my eyes when in my best handstand line. Now THAT is challenging! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikke Olsen Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Just looking straight ahead instead of down on my hands completely knocks me out of balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikkel Ravn Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Just looking straight ahead instead of down on my hands completely knocks me out of balance It's a good drill to look at the horizon or your feet while in handstand. Takes a while to get the hang of it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristan Curtis Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 My understanding is its' generally best to start with balancing work for this reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Ward Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I always do mine after training. No problems here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin de Jesus Ponce Robaldino Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 You need to learn the perfect alignment in the most ideal conditions. Then you can work for adapting yourself in any condition in any time. Thats the beautiful part of learning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
