Today is day 43...just over two weeks left to go! I've been working every day on my flexibility goal and I'm seeing a little improvement. In my seated straddle forward fold I can now put my forearms all the way down on the floor, grab the bottoms of my feet, and then barely touch my forehead to the floor. My back is somewhat rounded when I do it, so now I'm going to work on flattening out my back so that I can start to bring my chest down towards the floor. I have been practicing a few minutes each day - I don't want to overstretch, so I'm just letting it happen naturally. If I don't meet the goal by the end of the 60 days that's okay - I'll get there someday.
On Saturday I spent some time practicing handstand against the wall. I got to the point where I was kicking up using momentum and had the wall there to catch me. Now that I know how it feels in my body to be up in the handstand, I will take it back a step and try to learn how to get up without using momentum.
