Arms and Balance
*MORE CHALLENGING*
This workout is going to use your whole upper body (mostly in inverted or upside down positions) to push you to stay upright, balanced, and never weak. If less advanced, do all the stands up against a wall for support. Try to work your way up to only touching your feet to the wall during the exercises instead of your whole body. It may seem to feel like you are a little kid playing, but that is the point. We want to act like children sometimes to keep our minds and bodies youthful.
Try for 10-20 repetitions on each exercise or 20-30 seconds on each exercise hold.
GO:
Handstand push ups
Side push up (left side)
Side push up (right side)

Handstand splits

Donkey side kicks
BONUS: try one handed push ups
