- Yo, what up Thenx athletes
it's Boo J and I'm back in Miami with the boys.
And we're gonna be working out from the house
keeping it mellow
but getting straight to work.
(electronic music)
So when you're working out
or pretty much when you're doing anything
you need to have goals.
And right now my goals are to have solid handstands
and also to have a handstand pushup.
Today I put together a workout routine
that will get you stronger
and get you closer to a proper handstand
and handstand pushup.
Everyone needs to start somewhere
and before doing something like the handstand
we gotta develop the strength.
And that's exactly what we're gonna be doing today
with the upper body workout.
And remember, you don't need any equipment,
straight from home.
So let's get right into it.
We're gonna do elevated pike pushups.
And we're gonna do 10 reps.
(electronic music)
And that's an exercise
that's gonna get you a step closer
to your handstand pushups.
If you guys are having trouble
with your feet elevated like that,
remember, you can just start doing it
with your feet on the ground.
It's gonna be a lot easier I promise.
What makes this exercise difficult
is for how elevated your feet really are.
All right, moving on.
We've got 10 pseudo pushups.
We're going straight into it.
(electronic music)
There we have the pseudo pushups.
Keep in mind when you're doing this exercise
you wanna push from the waistline
and if not, as close as you can from the waistline
to get the full effect.
And that's what makes this exercise
so much harder than a normal pushup.
You're applying more body weight
the closer your hands are to your waistline.
It's like increasing the weight on a bench press.
With handstands and handstand pushups
you use your entire body weight.
And with this exercise
it's pretty much giving you the same effect.
In the next exercise
we're gonna do the same thing
with the handstand kickup.
Let's go for 10.
(electronic music)
And there we got 10.
A lot of the time when we try to learn how to handstand
we don't have enough strength in our shoulders
or it's a bit scary.
So this is the perfect exercise
to strengthen your shoulders
and to also get you comfortable
getting into a handstand or a handstand pushup.
All right you guys,
we're gonna bring up the intensity in this workout
and we're gonna go for 10 burpees.
Training explosive
is a great way to build more power and strength.
So we're gonna jump right into this.
(electronic music)
All right, there we go.
We got the 10 burpees out the way.
And now we've got five wall walks.
And remember,
wall walks are one of the best exercises
to master your handstand.
Not only does it develop
the strength in your core, in your arms
needed to do a handstand,
but it also puts you in a perfect handstand position.
Let's go for five.
(electronic music)
All right you guys,
that was five.
For the last exercise
we're gonna try to hold the L-sit
for as long as we can.
With the L-sit,
you're gonna be working your core, your balance
and you're gonna be lifting your entire body off the ground
just how you would in a handstand pushup or a handstand.
And remember,
the longer you can hold your L-sit
the longer you can hold your handstand.
Let's get straight to it.
(electronic music)
And that's the last exercise of our routine you guys.
We got three more rounds
to complete this upper body home workout
that's gonna get you closer
to your handstands and your handstand pushups.
And after this routine
we're gonna cruise outside for some cardio
and some lower body.
I'll catch you guys outside.
Yo, what's up you guys.
So we just got done working out the upper body
for our handstands and handstand pushups.
Now we're gonna take it to the lower body routine.
The first move I got for you guys are kick flips.
Let's do a couple sets of these.
So there guys, our kick flips.
You wanna try to do a solid squat
and kick straight out like Bruce Lee would.
It's super simple.
But remember,
don't stress if you're having a rough time.
Practice makes perfect you guys.
The next move we're gonna move on to
are front side pop shove its.
We're out here in Florida man so we're sweating.
The humidity is real.
And there we have five reps of the front side pop shove it.
You wanna be able to do a solid squat
just how we did with the kick flips
and kinda scoop that back foot
like a reverse bicycle pedal.
So now we're gonna move onto heel flips.
Heel flips is the same thing as the kick flip
but this time instead of flicking with your toe
we're gonna be flicking with our heel
and the board motion is gonna go the opposite way.
Let's jump straight into those.
Five reps baby.
(electronic music)
One more.
And there we go.
The heel flip.
Simple, don't overstress it if you can't do them.
Just remember, kick straight out with your heel
and keep it going.
All right you guys.
That's the routine for the day.
It's gonna get you shredded and explosive.
We've got three rounds of three different tricks
then it's time to just have fun man.
