HSPU's...YEAH!

Like all, it's been a crazy Holiday Season.  I've been busy shopping, working, getting the house ready for company, and doing a little celebrating as well.  :)  There's my lame excuse for not posting for awhile.

Over the past two weeks, I've been feeling stagnant and slow.  Holiday celebrating caught up with me and I'm feeling the effects.  This weekend I've had one glass of wine, and I have to say that this morning I woke up feeling GOOD!

Friday night, Michelle taught me to kip the Handstand Pushup.  I haven't been so fricking excited with my performance in a LONG time.  If you can knock out 5-10 blue banded HSPU's easily, and have not tried it...DO IT!  With the proper technique it felt easier than the blue band HSPU because there was a little pressure taken off the Shoulders.

1.  Start with head on the floor
2.  Head and hands should be in a tripod position
3.  Bring knees down to chest
4.  Forcibly kick up and push up at the same time

These aren't the greatest pics, but courtesy of my Mom, here ya go.
