But like with a lot of things, focusing on the gym allowed the other things to go to the back of my mind for a while, which was a bit of a relief. For the gym itself, my handstands are getting better, feels like up upside down for ages now! lol. I'm sure it's only a few seconds, but it feels like longer to me.
We did a lot of airtrack work and I worked on cartwheels - especially on my "bad" side (everyone has a good and a bad side! The idea is that you practise the bad side more and both sides get better!). Did quite well with them I think.
Towards the end we did some splits practise and I got right down! Yay! And managed to keep my hands in the air for a while too! Here is a particularly horrible photo of that! lol
In all seriousness, it's good to see how much I've come on in a few short weeks. If you look at my first splits attempt - I was leaning forward (not good), toes aren't pointed, head down, obviously a struggle. This one is much better (despite the beetroot face and flabby tummy!). Yay!
And finally, my gymnastic friends have professed a desire to appear on these pages, so here is a photo of them working hard!
Thank you, I have recently been searching for information about this topic for ages and yours is the best I have discovered so far.
