2 Super Effective Handstand Tips Nobody is Talking About!!
Hello!
I've got a new YouTube video out on the most underrated handstand tip nobody talks about.
And just for you, a second tip is below!
"Brainy What-Why-How"
Your weekly nibble of brain-based tips to help you move and feel great!
🧠
What:
Your brain will only feel safe with a movement if it knows you can STOP that movement.
(And the brain won't let you do something if it doesn't feel it's safe.)
Why:
Think how slowly and cautiously you would drive a car if you didn't have brakes, and the only way you could stop the car was to literally run into a wall. No fun!
That's how your brain will feel if it doesn't have information about how well you can stop a movement!
So training STOPPING a movement may be just as important as training the actual movement.
So if you're kicking up to a handstand and you're not using your fingers as brakes, then your brain will slow your handstand-car down to a snail's pace. 🐌🚗
👋🤸♀️Say goodbye to getting vertical.
How:
I teach a lot of handbrake turns ... I mean finger gripping brake-action... in my Float To Handstand Skill Factory on Move With Adell and there's also a separate class where we practice moving at speed onto our hands.
But basically, practice using your fingers to push yourself back after moving forwards onto your hands.
Do it safely:
i.e. with your feet on the floor still,
or with cushions
or with a wall --
And as your fingers gain strength, your brain will also learn that you've got the power to control the momentum of jumping or kicking up to a handstand.
(Do I need to make a YouTube video about this?)
