Day 1.00

Wrist Mobility

"You are going to need to warm up and gain adequate wrist mobility for today's handstand challenge.  For the advanced version use two one inch books next to the wall and kick into a HS with your fingers on top of the books.  Hold for 30 seconds." ~GB

I chose the advanced exercise today!  I selected two books for each hand... A sports psychology text book & "Forget Not Love," the heroic story of St. Maximilian Kolbe for the left hand and "Seal Team Six Outcasts" & "The Talent Code" for the right hand.  My book shelf has a very limited selection... gymnastics resources, books about my favorite Saint, leadership development, and a few good reads:)  I decided to give my photo and video a real gymnastics coach feel by including the "Score Flasher" as a way to keep track of my days.  Today's handstand is not #100 but rather 1.00 because that's how a gymnastics score is flashed!  

I hope you enjoy following along and if you complete the challenge then send Traveling Handstands a photo!
