First time for me on this work out….or any work out involving handstands. I had some fears about the handstands because I fell on my head when I last tried them. That was over a year ago & I’ve never had the courage to try them again. A big thanks to Patrick to helping me out this morning. Once I overcame my fear, they really weren’t that bad. I agree with Lora, in that they were easier for me that regular burpees.
