I used to do a headstand / myLot

Since I know there are many benefits of headstand, I tried to do it again but to no avail. I felt I was unable to lift my legs let alone straight them up. So, I tried to adjust my arm strength step by step. Another method of doing a headstand quickly is to use a wall. So, I began doing it with my back facing the wall and raised the leg up on the wall. I don't know how much longer until I can do it like I used to.

If you can´t do it now don´t despair. You probably need to go very slowly and I would not force that one as the neck is very fragile. What about doing wall squats? You know that exercise at the moment I just do a couple of squats a day and I try to remember to build it up but its hard to keep a routine going. You can build your muscle but bit by bit and Rome was never built in a day. I recovered the movement back in my right shoulder and it took a lot of tears and pain but its well worth it.

Wall squat? Well, never do it. I'm gonna give it a go, then. Thank for info.

@yanzalong If you do the hang on a minute, I think its called the qigong way you are supposed to open up the main energy centre in the body or something like that and move the energy. I often do that if I get up feeling yuk and feel much better after I find it relaxes me for some reason. I also do a few things the Ice Skaters do when they warm up and like the Athletes do to loosen up. Only wish I could stick to a routine it would benefit me enormously.
