\"\"<\/a>I don\u2019t care who you are, you like hand stands.\u00a0 You may not like doing them and you definitely hate it when some D Bag at a party pops up in to one and all the girls oooo and awwww over his manly manliness… stupid D Bag.\u00a0 But hey just think if you could be that D Bag?\u00a0 I mean seriously, wouldn\u2019t it be cool to be like a gymnast in front of thousands of people on tv and pop up in to a handstand and pump a few pushups out?\u00a0 YOU CAN!\u00a0 Even if you are just doing them in your living in FRONT of your tv it\u2019s the same thing.<\/p>\n

So here is how you can VERY EASILY train yourself to do a hand stand.\u00a0 The benefits are amazing balance, control, upper body growth, and of course don\u2019t forget the ooo\u2019s and awww\u2019s next time you have a drink too many and decide to impress the ladies at your next party.\u00a0 Here we go:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Place your hands on the floor about a foot from the wall<\/li>\n
  2. Kick one leg up and then the other one and let the wall catch them.\u00a0Ok so this is where you would cheer because you are doing a hand stand, but don\u2019t cause you will fall on your head.<\/li>\n
  3. Stay there as long as you can and breath normally.\u00a0 Think about the muscles in your shoulders and arms.<\/li>\n
  4. Constantly try to edge yourself off the wall.\u00a0 Basically teaching your body how to hold itself upside down without the wall’s support<\/li>\n
  5. When you’re tired, slowly kick down one leg and then the other and you land right on your feet.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Amazing right?\u00a0 After a few days of this you can start adding 1 push up, then another, and another and before you know it your body will start recognizing where it is in space and you will be able walk upside down!!\u00a0 If you want to go advanced put your clothes on upside down and go to the office.\u00a0 I think we can both agree everyone will think you are super cool.<\/p>\n

    If you were actually dumb enough to put your clothes on upside down and go to work, leave a note in the comments.<\/p>\n
