Base Camp, 11/14/2015

Focus 1: Turkish Get-Ups
Focus 2: Handstands & Handstand Push-Ups
Workout: Handstand Push-Ups, Box Jumps, & Sit-Ups

Now this is a delightful pairing: Turkish Get-Ups and Handstand Work (*shoulder stability* and *shoulder strength*, if you will). Class will start with a primer on the Turkish Get-Up, before moving on to a full range of handstand work, including walk walks and how best to kick up into a handstand.

We will split the class between the two movements, devoting time to the following points for each:

• Turkish Get-Up (without weight, then with light weight, inc. Dumbbells and Kettlebells)
• Wall Walks;
• Kick-Up practice;
• Kick-up attempts against the wall;
• Handstand Push-Up (“HSPU”) Scaling options for use in the day’s workout (and class in general).

To review before class, we highly recommend checking out the following descriptions and demonstrations on both movements:
