A place for goals over the next year, whatever they are for you.

It's a bit early but I want to get started anyway.

My goal is to do a handstand.
Not just any throw myself at the wall upside down handstand (I'm likely to make my home fully open plan trying that) but a properly controlled handstand from a squat position.
Like this.


Why this?
Well the real goal is to lose fat, gain strength, gain flexibility. I'll have to do all three to achieve this but focussing on a handstand in particular gives my a quantifiable goal that isn't just numeric and I can visualise in my mind's eye.
Looking at estimates online they suggest it can take a few months to a year or two to achieve. I will definitely not be in the few months category so it's a good goal to fill the year with.

I can push for this regardless of anything else that happens in life short of an injury or illness.

Finally it looks cool.

Method.
At the very least to start with I'll continue my current routine of alternating weights workouts and yoga.
Plus dog walking with a weighted rucksack.
Then dieting, eating well, proper actual food. Probably with less cheating (currently once a week).

Follow the steps in the video above working on them specifically on top of regular usual workouts.

Where I'm at currently errrr.
Way too heavy. I'm heavy genetically (thighs like battleships and bone as dense as diamond) but still carrying far too much fat compared to muscle to achieve this.
I'm flexible enough to achieve Level 1 from that video.
