So my pilates instructor David (he’s brilliant by the way!) has been helping me alot with building some strength in my arms to do a handstand, which apparently is step one in doing a cartwheel. He’s got me doing all sorts of reps with 8kg weights! And I’ve managed to stand on my hands a few times with him or the wall or both supporting me.. so am I on track? Hope so!
I tried to practice doing cartwheel’s a bit when I was at the beach on holiday recently, and my friend caught me on my camera! How sneeky of her! You can see my few hillarious attempts here:

Ok, so I can’t do perfect cartwheels, especially not on my right side (because that means kicking off using your left foot, and that’s my weaker side). BUT! TOOOOTALLY worth it!!!! lol! :D

hand. hand. foot. foot. draw a giant circle on the ground, and try doing a mini cartwheel thing round the line. when you have that perfected, make the line straighter and straighter until perfection!!!

So, I am 17, right? I should be able to do this, right? But I am scared out of my mind to do this. Something about being upsidedown isn’t natural to me. oh,well. guess i will just have to move my couch and try. it could be tons of fun!

I want to learn tumbling, and I believe this should be one of the first steps. I’ll just have to practice a lot.

So I got sidetracked a bit with my trading project and visiting of Mozambique’s awesome beaches! But just started Pilates again- and geez man, my instructor David is sure pushing me along to build some muscle! I love it! And he knows I want to do cartwheels soon, so I’ll get my arms strong and get back to practicing handstands soon!

A cartwheel is really easy after trying it !!! First you face front and lift both hands and your right leg,then you push your body,pressing both hands on the ground, push your body and legs up in the air…and it’s great doing a cartwheel because you won’t fall.you will have better results doing it really fast

I never learned how to cartwheel. I feel like my life would be must enhanced with my new found cartwheeling ability. There are multiple times a day I say to myself (and others), “If I knew how to cartwheel, I would right now.”
Ah, cartwheeling. I will conquer you one day…one day.
