Having recently become absolutely obsessed with wanting to perfect a handstand, I have been working hard on improving all the techniques to get to my goal. I must say that I have underestimated the amount of work that goes into a handstand, but I also felt quite disheartened by the abundance of Instagram pictures floating around of people with perfectly formed handstands. It has taken me a long time not to be fooled by these stunning Instagram pictures of people posting the end result, and you shouldn’t use that to distort your expectations either.

 

Your fitness journey is not always going to look pretty, and that is part of the process to your goal. There will be sweat, tears and struggles, maybe a few falls, or an off day when you didn’t enjoy your workout at all. This all is part of the final result, and it is also beautiful; mistakes and failures are sometimes a lot more valuable than the final result. Focus on getting to your goal but also enjoy and appreciate the journey, because at the end of the day the journey is simply with yourself and how far you have come. With this in mind, I am sharing a video of myself falling flat on my face, and almost taking my spotter down with me, while attempting a handstand.
