I really want to be able to do a hand stand. I would love to be able to hold myself perpendicular to a poll.I'm relatively flexible, (relative to average men in their 40s), but I can't do any of the fancy stuff. I've been doing many yoga moves for a few years now, (part of my fitness regimen), but I'm still amateur and stiff compared to the people I'm trying to follow in the videos. Heck, I still can't even bend over to touch the floor without my knees bending at least slightly.I used to could do some interesting moves, (kicks, jumps), when I was in tae kwon do training 13+ years ago. The coolest non-fighting thing I've ever been able to do in this area was I could stand straight up from sitting crosslegged on the floor. That is, sitting with my butt on the floor and my legs crossed in front of me, ("Indian style"), and go straight up without shifting my feet. I was told it looked like I was pulled up by a sting out the top of my head.Can you do any gymnastic/acrobatic moves? Any interesting/cool flexibility or strength?Bullgrit</blockquote>
