i have long been contemplating what shud my bare-minimum physical exertion be on a daily basis; as i quit the fiat job, i started ramping up my outdoor activity, specifically going into the sun and nature on a daily basis; on walks i now wear a backpack with weights (+/- baby), slowly increasing the load; since it's getting colder, i also practice wearing the minimum clothing tolerable; i already have snow-shoeing in mind!
at home i have a 2nd story loft which is within jumping distance for pull-ups; typically i aim for 21 pull-ups at a time (3x7); since i used to lift heavy, hand-stands, pull-ups, and rock-climbing are incentivizing me to stay light and strong; tree branches are everywhere as well for pull-ups on the go ;)
hand-stands are great, i have been to a couple of workshops by Yuri pictured below; these require extreme discipline, and a long warm-up session, longer than i usually have patience for; i use palm-sized wooden blocks, and will probably get wedge-shaped blocks later for more comfortable wrist position;
one day i'll have at least a free-standing handstand, if not the one-handed handstand;
Sounds awesome! Wishing you the best of luck and determination on your journey! I'm sure that with a guide like Yuri you'll advance in no time, plus a kid can be a big motivator as well I can imagine :) But yeah, handstands are no joke, especially on one hand, I mean dayum! A couple of years ago I stopped in Darwin, Australia for a while, there was a dude there in the local outdoor gym quite often & he nonchalantly went and pulled off a one-handed HSPU one time, even he himself was surprised he could do that lol
