Linda seems like a nice person. I have a lot of her workouts. They can be hit or miss for me. I must say that doing all that handstand work in her Endurance Series completely healed nagging shoulder pain and popping that I had from an injury from 1.5 years ago. I'm a big fan of those workouts.

I did my first endurance workout this week and it was TOUGH, but I completed it and want to try more to challenge myself. That's fantastic that the handstands helped your shoulder! To be honest, I was wondering what the benefits of handstands are, but if it helped your shoulder that is definitely a benefit. Are there any other benefits to doing handstands?

I also gained a lot of strength and definition in the shoulders and upper back. It made planks and push ups easier. Even though I'd been doing traditional weights for decades, the handstands just challenged me in a different way. I guess if you're used to yoga, pull ups, and a lot of body weight arm work, the handstands might not be extremely beneficial.

Wow! Who knew handstands would be a good option. I think need to do more of her workouts.

And, what a good streaming price! Sensible business person.

I think handstands are great for your core too and it’s fun getting upside down!

Um, no, not beginner...
Same here. Her beginner is too advanced for me

I didn't know what LW was, even after clicking the link

I later realized it was her name.
