In case you’ve wondered, dead hangs are really good for your shoulders! 🙌

They can even prevent and help rehab a torn rotator cuff! 👍

I really wish I had known about dead hangs and their many benefits years ago! They might have prevented my rotator cuff surgeries! 💁‍♀️

If you’re not doing dead hangs, you’re missing out!

Day 2️⃣2️⃣! 👊

(For those who’ve asked, the pull up bar in my garage is available in my Linktree 🛍️)

Pretty sure my husband is now oblivious to my handstand antics! 😂

He’s also accepted the fact that I don’t take a vacation from handstands — or press drills —and that means a yoga mat, gloves, and at least two blocks will be traveling with us! 🧳

Btw: I love it when hotel rooms are large enough to accommodate kicking up — without rearranging furniture or moving to the hallway! 🏨 🤸‍♂️😍

What do The Osmonds have to do with dead hangs? 🤷‍♀️

Nothing really, except I’m wearing an Osmond Brothers tee while hanging from the bar in my garage. 😁

Part of my past meeting my present — happy memories and a fun challenge! 🙋‍♀️

Day 2️⃣1️⃣!

It’s day 2️⃣0️⃣ of the dead hang challenge — and part ✌️hanging without a bar!

I could have used this as an excuse to skip hanging today, but instead I improvised and used rings on a playground! 🙌

Sometimes, the real challenge is making yourself do it!🤨

I HEARD PINK IS THE NEW “IT” COLOR IN DENIM — AND I IMMEDIATELY FOUND MYSELF ON A PINK PANT HUNT! 🕵️

There are lots of choices out there, but I liked these three styles the best! 💁‍♀️

Stay tuned for how I’m going to wear the pink pants that I picked! ☺️

The pair is in my Linktree, the other two are .

HERE’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU COMBINE BRIDGE, WHEEL, AND A LITTLE LEG EXTENSION! ☺️

Despite poor Julie getting a face full of hair, we did this lovely partner pose without too many hiccups! 🙌

FYI: We did have a few giggles when we realized hadn’t talked about how to get out of the pose! 😅

Thanks to for the original post!

DAY 2 OF MY DEAD HANG CHALLENGE! 🙋‍♀️

There may not be a lot of steps involved, but you want to make sure you’re doing it correctly! 👌

1. The bar should be high enough that your feet don’t touch the floor
2. Stand on a box or step rather than jumping
3. Grip with your hands forward or facing in
4. Avoid swinging by engaging your core
5. Hold for 10-20 seconds with a goal of holding a minute

I remove my wedding band before hanging, and I usually wear gloves — one of my goals is to be glove free at the end of the month! 👊

Blooper from yesterday‘s dead hang video! 😂 Sometimes getting the right angle is the hardest part! 💁‍♀️

The answer is, “Until I can’t!” 💁‍♀️

I realize there’s going to be a morning when I wake up and either don’t feel like handstanding or am no longer able to muster a kick up. 🥹

But I can’t predict when that will be (nor do I really want to), and until that time I plan on doing it pretty much every chance I get, and just about everywhere I go! ✈️

May handstands included hotel rooms, 2 National Parks, giant hands and a giant spider, an airport, a few aliens, a frog on a wall, and a news set! 🤸‍♂️

Made with the app!

I’M STARTING A NEW CHALLENGE IN JUNE —THIS TIME HANGING FROM A BAR EVERY DAY — AND THIS TIME IT’S OUT OF NECESSITY! 😐

About a year ago I started having tingling in my leg, and after monkeying around thinking it would just go away, I finally had an MRI and found out my spinal cord is pressing on a nerve and a disc has slipped.

While there’s nothing that’s guaranteed to fix it, I can hopefully keep it from getting worse with adjustments, using a foam roller, and hanging from a bar. 💁‍♀️

Until now, my bar hanging has been inconsistent, but I’m hoping that by making it a challenge, and putting it out to the universe, perhaps that will help hold me accountable. 🤞

FYI, there are MANY great reasons to hang from a bar, and I’ll share them as we move through the month! ☺️

Let me know if you’re hanging too! 👯‍♀️

(P.S. That’s a piece of stupid cottonwood hanging from the bottom of my foot! 🙄)
