I've just finished the 30 days couch to handstand and now I'm here because I want to continue this daily habit ! The "tuck" option at 9:58 was still impossible for me but I stuck with the kick up like you suggested, maybe I'll manage the tuck some day, I'm not in any rush ^^ You're a great teacher, thank you so much for all this amazing content!

Hello Alyssa, thank you for following the couch to handstand 30 days. In about two months I will publish a follow up course called "Prepare for handstands" on Vimeo. Watch out for that one. It is a four week long course that builds directly on the exercises of the 30 day course. Btw the tuck handstand is a demanding move. Best wishes

Hi Natalie, I can hold a 30secs free handstand but my wrists are hurting a bit. Earlier when I was consistent before my ACL surgery I had a personal best of more than a minute. Now I don't feel that strong on a handstand, how much time will it take for me to get back to the previous level, I have a 5 free handstand pushups personal best. Can I reach that level in next 2 months?

I would say invest at least 10 minutes per day in wrist exercises.

@NatalieReckert4 жыл бұрын
The best thin if you are scared is to do a handstand with the wall but a bit further away. Then you first take one foot off and then the other and try to balance for a few seconds. Do this over a few months and then practice kick ups the same way. First close to the wall and then further away, keeping the wall as a safety and trying to balance. I have made a more detailed video about how to get away from the wall and balance in my Vimeo library vimeo.com/ondemand/handstandlibrary

Hi Natalie, thank you so much for this! I have a question 😅. When I kick up to a handstand which leg is doing the kick? The bent leg or the one extended back. Also, whenever I kick up my extended leg always always bends even when I'm trying to keep it straight. Can you give me any tips to work on that 🙌🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻
@NatalieReckert4 жыл бұрын
Hiya, it is the top leg that is doing the kick and the bottom one is doing the jump. Have a look ath this video here and also the ones before and after this class. It explains how you can consciously focus on keeping your leg straight in prep exercises. You need to do a few prep exercises with a what I call " lazer focus" on keeping the knee of your back leg straight. then eventually your body gets thet message :)

Hi Natalie, vielen Dank für das Teilen deines Wissens. Ich finde deine Videos wirklich spitze und bin begeistert, dass ebenso Aufwärmen und Dehnen darin gezeigt wird. (Ist bei vielen Tutorials auf KZbin leider nicht der Fall.) Nun habe ich aber eine Frage: Zu Beginn sagst du, dass die neue "Daily handstand practice rountine", aufgrund deines erweiterten Wissens entstand. Bis vor einer Woche habe ich noch nach deinem alten Video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYammp5_ac6LqK8) trainiert. Nun wechsel ich täglich zwischen den beiden Routinen, weil ich das Gefühl habe ansonsten etwas Wichtiges zu verpassen. Zu meinem Kraft-Level: Ich kann die neue Routine fast bist zum Ende machen nur beim letzten Handstand schaff ich nur noch 20 Sekunden. Meine Dehnung: Ich kann statt dem Boden meine Knie berühren. Wenn ich so einen Spagat wie du im Intro mache, muss der Notarzt verständigt werden. Samstags trainiere ich immer für einen Planche. (Kann im Moment einen sauberen Tuck Planche für 10 Sekunden halten.) Weil ich derzeit keinen Handstand frei halten kann, trainiere ich ansonsten unter der Woche nach deiner Routine. Würdest du mir empfehlen nach der neuen Routine zu trainieren oder sollte ich bei der alten bleiben bzw. abwechseln? Natürlich habe ich auch mit deinem Lernmaterial auf Vimeo geliebäuglt, aber die Länge (50min) einer Einheit hat mich etwas verschreckt. Nach der Arbeit ist eine 20 Minuten Routine für mich eher das richtige, da ich mich dazu motivieren kann, bevor ich noch andere wichtige Dinge, Haushalt usw. mache. Ansonsten finde ich deine Stimme echt angenehm, man kann den Anweisungen leicht folgen und hat Spaß dabei.
@NatalieReckert4 жыл бұрын
Hallo und vielen lieben Dank für das ausführliche Feedback. Ich würde mir da keine großen Gedanken machen, beide Routinen sind gut genug und mach einfach die, der du leichter Folgen kannst. So groß unterscheiden die sich nicht, es ist eher so, dass das alte Video ja schon eine Weile her ist und ich wollte ein neues machen, das nicht diesen uralt look hat :) Ich verstehe was du meinst, mit der Zeit. Der Vimeo Kurs hat auch viele Dehn und Krafttrainingsübungen, ist aber insgesamt auf jeden Fall um einiges umfangreicher und fordert auch zeitlich mehr. "Wenn ich so einen Spagat wie du im Intro mache, muss der Notarzt verständigt werden." DA hast du mich zum lachen gebracht :)) Ich würde dir raten, immer mal eine halbe Stunde stretching einzuwerfen, das hier könnte für dich interessant sein: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJStZ6V-pN6ImM0 In der Vimeo library gibt es auch Einzelvideos und hoffentlich auch bald mehr zum Thema Beweglichkeit. Das könnte für dich auch interessant sein. Schön, dass du so motiviert bist :) Mach weiter so, Viele Grüße
@realcolormusic4 жыл бұрын
@@NatalieReckert Hi Natalie, vielen Dank für deine Antwort! :-) Mir gefällt die andere Routine deshalb besser, weil sie mehr Dehnungsübungen einbaut. Dafür dauert sie halt etwas länger als deine neue Routine. Auch kommt darin ein Handstand vor der in einer (verkehrten) L Form gehalten wird. Bei dem weiß ich nicht, ob ich den ebenfalls benötige. Ich habe vor sehr vielen Jahren angefangen nach einem Bestseller Buch zu trainieren und habe damit wirklich tolle Resultate (betreffend Training mit dem eigenen Körpergewicht) erzielt. Das Hauptargument des Autors (und Navy Seals Ausbildner) war, dass eine halbe Stunde Training genug sei. (Gleiche Aussage wie auch in deinem Video.) Darum meinte ich, dass es wirklich toll wäre einen wöchentlichen Plan zu haben, wo nur maximal 30 Minuten für das Training verwendet werden müssten. Im Bezug auf den Inhalt des Buches als Beispiel: Zuerst gibt es in dem Buch Übungen, mit denen man den Kraftlevel bestimmen kann. Danach gibt es je nach Kraftlevel einen wöchentlichen Plan, dessen Ziel der Aufbau ist, bis man die Kriterien erfüllt zur nächsten Stufe wechseln zu können. Also: Pre-Training: Bestimmung des Kraftlevels. 1. Stufe: Wochenplan für leichtes Aufbautraining. 2. Stufe: Wochenplan für mittleres Aufbautraining. 3. Stufe: Wochenplan für schweres Aufbrautraing. 4. Stufe: Wochenplan für Sportler. .. (Es heißt im Buch zwar anders, doch ich möchte jetzt keine Werbung machen. Außerdem war der Wochenplan immer in Bereiche aufgeteilt: Montag: Ziehen, Dienstag: Beine, Mittwoch: Drücken, Do: Beine, Fr: Core) Das ist aber beim Handstand-Training jetzt eher nicht möglich nehme ich an. Vielleicht wäre das ein interessantes Geschäftsmodell? Die Schwachstelle des Buchs war, dass keine Dehnungsübungen vorkamen. Trotzdem war der Aufbau so langsam, dass es kaum Verletzungen gab. Haha :D Ja, nur wäre mir dann weniger zum Lachen zumute. :D Vielen lieben Dank für das Video - werde ich mir sofort ansehen. Wäre das Stretching dann vor dem Training oder danach? Bzw. kann ich in der Früh dehnen und erst am Abend trainieren? Das klingt interessant! Ja bitte lass es mich wissen, wenn du neue Videos zu dem Thema hast. Würde mich echt interessieren.
