Time On Our Hands (2024/404)

Image
"Time On Our Hands!" One of those 'double-meaning' post titles. In this post-festive period, a lot of you will have time on your hands. Use it sensibly - get some serious exercise in after the indulgence of Christmas Day and the aftermath! But, as gymnastics coaches, we always say to gymnasts (and their parents) - the more time they spend on their hands, the happier we will be, and the gymnast should be getting proud of their handstand shape and endurance. Today's post is all about guys spending time on their hands, in various positions, demonstrating their balance skills and their core strength in keeping a great body shape (well, in most cases, but not all!).   Yep, start him young, dad!     And don't let rain put you guys off, either: Keep trying...

The perfect sport for strength, flexibility, skill and endurance. Much to admire here.  

Lifestyle: Balance (2024/358)

We all need a balanced lifestyle. Plenty training - yes, but other relaxations are important. For today's guys, however, their lifestyle IS balance, and training for the strength and agility which that requires. Mainly, but not exclusively, hand balancing.
