Handstand holds are definitely getting better! I tried the first two rounds against the wall then the third round out on the floor. I was more comfortable kicking up into the handstand but I would still fall back down after about two seconds. Heather told me to take one or two steps with my hands to steady myself and then hold it, and it worked! I was able to hold it for 6 seconds. That doesn't seem like very long but it's a large improvement from the past few weeks. Thanks for the tips Heather! 

The first row felt really terrible, my pace was all over the place. I tried to focus less on the pace and more on my actual breathing but I ended up trying to just hold it around a 2:10 anyways. 

The ski erg/handstand push up combo was so nasty. For real. My arms were just dead after this was over. I think I started out a bit too hot on the ski erg. I got to the handstand push ups and thought I would try to do 15 unbroken then 3. CLASSIC CHELS. I did the first 2 reps and realized there was no way in hell that was going to happen. I ended up breaking up the first set of HSPU 5/5/4/4, second set was 5/5/2/2, and the third set was 2/2/2. My arms were shot from the ski erg. This one was rough. 

The second row actually went better than I thought it would, I tried to just hold it at a 2:10 like the first row. 

Airdyne stuff was good as usual. 

Proof I was able to hold a handstand for more than two seconds!
