A little inspiration for today’s hand stand push ups.
Gymnastic ability rapidly decreases as we enter adulthood. It’s quite possible that if we were all in elementary school, these hand stand push ups would seem like a game of sorts. However as adults, the wave of terror you experience when you see them come up in a workout is enough to make you want to stay home and skip the gym for the day. Developing and maintaining a gymnastic capability is so important to developing yourself as a well rounded athlete. It will greatly improve your coordination and balance, and one day, when you get over the fear of it all, it may actually be a little fun.
So for today, stop worrying about what you look like, how stupid you feel, or how it makes your head spin, and focus on getting better at something that is difficult for you. The trick is, that if you keep practicing, one day it won’t be tough anymore.
“Pride ends in humiliation, while humility brings honor.” Proverbs 29:23
