Hey! where is everybody? There were just 2 of us today… i miss the 6:15 posse!
November 4th, 2009 at 3:00 PM
so, does anyone else get spots on their face after doing handstand pushups? i got dozens of little red spots that i didn’t notice until i got home last night…is this a form thing?
November 4th, 2009 at 3:04 PM
I think it may have to do with blood rushing to your head Becky….maybe it’s little blood vessels. how long did the spots last?
November 4th, 2009 at 3:15 PM
they were still there this morning…i had it happen over the summer and they lasted a few days…kind of unsightly.

Becky,
It is easy to break blood vessels doing handstands/hspu’s.
In gymnastics they teach you to keep your core muscles tight during a handstand. That will keep the blood from rushing to your head. If you relax your core while upside down, all the blood will rush down…
