Hi I’m 53 and would love to get some strength happening. I want to get up into a normal push-up and also some Handstands. My instagram is Lillzy

i would recommend elevated push ups. start with pushing off from something like a counter or a wall that you're just leaning into. you can increase your lean to make it harder. the next progression could be alternating between just holding plank one day, and knee push ups the next. note which muscles are getting sore first, as that can be an indication of another muscle you could train to help reach that goal faster. i love that you're on this journey! you're gonna crush it!

@Lillian Hussey-Smith perfect! Always start with small, achievable steps to build up to the muscle skill you hope to master 💪🏼
🔥 January Skill Focus Challenge — Week 2 Check-In & Reset
First things first… 👏 Huge congrats to everyone who showed up for Week 1. Whether you trained 1 minute or 30 minutes, daily contact with a skill is a BIG win. Week 1 wasn’t about perfection. It was about showing up, building the habit, and proving to yourself you can stay consistent. Now let’s roll into Week 2. — 🧠 Quick Reflection (Post This 👇) Before choosing your next step, take a moment and comment below with: • One thing you were proud of from last week • Did daily practice feel easier by the end of the week? • Did consistency improve your confidence, control, or awareness? No judgment. No overthinking. Just honesty. This reflection is part of the progress. — 🔁 Week 2: Stay the Course or Switch It Up For Week 2, you have two solid options: Option 1️⃣ — Keep the same skill • Double down • Go a little deeper • Same skill, better quality • Same skill, slightly harder progression Option 2️⃣ — Choose a new skill • Fresh focus • New stimulus • Apply the consistency habit to something new Both are wins. There is no “better” choice — only the one that fits YOU right now. — 🛠️ How Week 2 Works Same rules as last week 👇 • Pick ONE skill • Work on it every day this week • 1 minute counts • 30 minutes counts • Showing up counts Post what you did here 📝 Want feedback? Film it 🎥 or describe it clearly. The more you share, the more I can help. — 🤸‍♂️ Skill Ideas (If You’re Unsure) Strength or skill-based options • Handstand or handstand drills • Pull ups or chin ups • L-sit, tuck holds, or leg raises • Muscle-up progressions • Crow pose or elbow lever Movement & mobility options • Animal flow or locomotion • Deep squat work • Hanging, shoulder health, or mobility If you’re stuck, just comment “help me choose” and I’ll guide you. — 💬 What to Do Now Comment below with: • What you were proud of from Week 1 • Whether you’re keeping the same skill OR switching • The ONE skill you’re committing to for Week 2 Consistency is already working. Let’s build on it 🔥

This whole past month has been a blur lol still practicing handstand drills - i was able to come off the wall and held it for a split second and it was such a big deal i nearly cried lol trying to work on coming into it from a different way (rather than kicking up, trying to straddle press into it, for example) and see how that goes
📣 What Do You Need the MOST Help With Right Now?
I want this community to be genuinely useful for you. Not just a place to scroll. A place where you actually get the help you need to move forward. We already have a Simple Start Plan for beginners. We have the Masterclass for technique and structure. We have the Masterbook for deeper progressions and long term guidance. We have a Handstand Video Training in the works... But I want to know what YOU need next. Clearer progressions? Help with a specific skill? Accountability? Mindset? Weekly routine planning? Staying consistent? Something missing from the resources? Tell me honestly so I can make this community as awesome as possible. 💬 COMMENT: What is the number one thing you need help with right now?

Most of my current struggles are with my own business not taking off like I'd hoped to be by now. Handstand training is great, when I actually have the energy for it 😭
Mobility: The Missing Piece in Your Training
Getting stronger is amazing. But here’s the hard truth: if your body can’t move freely, that strength has limits. Mobility is what makes strength usable. It’s what lets you flow between movements, stay pain-free, and unlock advanced skills like levers, handstands, and flips. When I coached gymnastics and parkour, I saw this over and over: athletes who made mobility a priority progressed faster, stayed healthier, and looked smoother in their skills. Meanwhile, the ones who skipped it? Shoulder pain, stiff hips, aching wrists — progress stalled. Here’s a simple 2-minute daily routine you can try right now to get started: - Shoulders: 30 sec passive hang (use a chair or band for support if needed). - Hips: 30 sec deep squat hold (hold onto something if balance is tough). - Wrists: 30 sec wrist rocks or palm lifts on knees (or in cobra stretch if possible). Cycle through 3 rounds. Breathe deep, exhale into each position, and focus on relaxing tension. You can do this as a simple cooldown or a way to start the morning. It doesn’t take hours — just minutes — to start feeling more freedom in your body. 👉 What’s the one area holding you back right now — shoulders, hips, or wrists?

Hips - I have a mild anterior pelvic tilt that I'm training my body out of. In my wellness journey, I've learned so much about the mobility chain where that small tilt (super common, and often caused by sitting!) affects the entire chain of my body! Pronated feet, knees knock in, can't do straddle splits anymore, etc... So many areas affected by this one core malfunction. It's wild! But we're getting there 💪🏼

@Ayesha Ali there are many ways to check it for yourself at home, but the easiest to visually see it is to look at the rounding of the stomach over the pelvis. If you have an anterior tilt, your back curves in more, butt sticks out more, shoulders slouch down. "Sitting up straight" with your crown of your head reaching as high toward the ceiling as possible is exhausting (because the muscles became too used to bad posture and adapted around it)
You Don't "Get" The Skill
Most people picture progress like a movie montage. Work hard, do the right drills, then suddenly BOOM — the skill is unlocked. But that’s not reality. It's the same as being at the bottom of a staircase and thinking you just "arrive" at the top of the staircase. Skill training is about small wins, patient steps — and then one day, almost out of nowhere, you realize the journey to took to get where you are. It’s both a blessing and a curse. What It Actually Looks Like - Crow pose → headstand → handstand against the wall for a few seconds. - Holding 15 seconds → feet bouncing off the wall. - Kick-ups against the wall → kick-ups on the floor for 1 second, then 2, then 3… maybe 1/10 attempts. That’s the process. It’s not glamorous, but it’s powerful. Focus on the Micro Wins Every little step is progress. - The first second of balance. - Increasing by 1 second - The first clean rep of a new progression. - Feeling more comfortable - The first time your body feels the movement instead of fighting it. Celebrate those moments — because they’re proof the bigger breakthrough is coming. 💬 Question for you: What’s the last “micro win” you celebrated in your training? Drop it in the comments so we can hype each other up. ➡️ Comment “HANDSTAND” below and I’ll reach to you personally and help you with your handstands.

weirdly enough, i learned headstand before any other inversion training. when i was a kid, i loved balancing on my head as a way to make my great grandma smile. it's once i lose that staggered point of contact (the tripod effect of having my head on the ground) where my body is relearning how to find safety. i've been working off and on to nail the handstand, but i can get a few seconds off the wall now. what i love about handstand training is that it's a tangible milestone to show how far i've come with my own practice and i feel like every fall gives my body new input on how to try again. :)
