Heels over head

CrossFit handstandChristine practices hand balancing.

Working inverted develops a bunch of the core elements of true fitness--strength, agility, flexibility, coordination, and balance—as well as a lot of more unusual but equally important abilities: spatial awareness, body control, trunk stability, wrist flexibility and strength, and tolerance for inversion itself, to name a few. Plus it’s just plain fun.

When was the last time you did a handstand?

Hmmm... last time I did a handstand? My shoulders say, "Wednesday".

Hey, check out Jeralee on a video from the main Crossfit site:

She starts 0:40 into the vid, wearing her "Get Some Go Again" shirt.
