6 reasons to stand on your hands

Handstands are high-intensity resistance training and you burn a lot of calories in a short time. Besides, it's fun.

Hello! How are you? I was doing a handstand! That’s right, I’ve already started the Challenge of the Week and I’ve burned a lot of calories. I’ll tell you a little more about the handstand to encourage you. Handstands are actually high-intensity resistance training and you burn a lot of calories in a short time. Here are five points why you should join the Challenge of the Week: • You will strengthen your upper body: to stand on your hands, you must support yourself with your shoulders, chest, arms and back, so you will strengthen them and make them more resistant • You will develop self-control: much more than just strength, you must learn to control your muscles and your mind to maintain balance, resistance, muscles contracted and the rest of your body in a position • Improve your mood: standing on your hands causes the flow of your blood goes to your head. This will make you feel more cheerful and full of energy • Strengthen your abdomen: if the upper muscles are the main ones responsible for getting up, the abdominals are what will keep you in the same position, because with them you will maintain your balance • Improve circulation and bone structure: this practice will strengthen your spine and reduce the risk of suffering from osteoporosis. As for circulation, your blood will flow more freely. I’ve only been doing this exercise for three days and I can assure you that I have burned a lot of calories. I can tell very easily, my belly is now completely flat and much stronger. Plus, my upper muscles are stronger and more toned than before. All this, in 20 minutes for three days.
