“The wisest keeps something of the vision of a child. Though he may understand a thousand things that a child could not understand, he is always a beginner, close to the original meaning of life.” –John Macy
This is a picture from the CrossFit mainsite. When 8 year old girls are doing the seemingly impossible, it is time we get busy. I have wanted to do this hold my whole life, but never really practiced it. Other things on the list are:
1 minute handstand hold(no wall)
Walking up stairs on my hands
Back flip
Who wants to practice with me? Then we can call out some five-year old gymnast and ask them to “bring it”. “Who’s Bad”.

So handstand work it is! I have a couple of progresive handstand goals myself. Stairs would be a cool thing do on my hands but I'll be happy with a one handed one for now.Once I get the double under I'll have more confidence in my ability to learn the back flip…
