Have you ever wonder why you get bored at the gym with standard weight lifting. Workout practice can be hard, creative, and fun all at the same time.
it doesn’t work if you don’t enjoy it, Let the result of your fun training speak for themselves.

Improving efficiency and holding a handstand longer can be a challenging task, especially if you find standard weight lifting at the gym boring. But workout practice doesn’t have to be monotonous; it can be hard, creative, and fun all at the same time. If you don’t enjoy your training, it’s unlikely that you’ll stick with it. So why not make your workouts enjoyable and let the results speak for themselves?

When it comes to holding a handstand longer, there are a few common reasons why you might struggle. Firstly, your line may not be perfect. To achieve a steady handstand, it’s essential to create a straight line from your fingers to your toes. This requires physical intelligence and a good range of motion. Paying attention to your shoulder range is particularly crucial in creating this straight line from your spine to your arms.

Another technique to improve your handstand is tucking the tails with PPT (Posterior Pelvic Tilt). This helps to create a straight line from your spine to your legs, enhancing balance and stability. Additionally, it’s important to cultivate mindfulness and awareness throughout your body. By focusing on activating the outer parts of your body, such as your toes and fingers, you can improve your overall control and balance.

One common tendency when attempting a handstand is to lose focus and collapse the torso. However, to hold a handstand longer, you should do the opposite. Instead of collapsing, elongate your torso, arms, shoulders, and legs. This will not only help you maintain balance but also improve the overall aesthetics of your handstand.

Another interesting concept to consider is the ART concept: Alignment, Re-Balancing, and Tension.

The ART concept stands for:

  • Alignment – Creating a perfect line from toes to fingers.
  • Re-Balancing – we are always in a constant state of balancing.
  • Tension – keeping a minimal amount of tension in the muscles to keep the skeleton aligned.

Alignment refers to creating a perfect line from your toes to your fingers, ensuring optimal stability and form. Re-Balancing is a constant state that we are in, and by being aware of it, we can make small adjustments to maintain balance. Lastly, maintaining a minimal amount of tension in your muscles helps to keep your skeleton aligned and enhances your overall control.
