Box jumps are my biggest fear, followed by climbing the rope (fear of heights and not enough upper body strength yet). I used to do handstands when I was a kid, but haven’t done them in years and years. Started cross fit a little over a month ago, and can do assisted handstands (feel against the wall, facing the wall) but have not been able to master getting up on my own yet. after falling on my head during one attempt…I’m a bit leery. But I’ll keep trying. I’m determined.

box jumps, hate them! they freak me out, i can do them, but there is still hesitation and the first few are step ups on the shortest step, lol. what is the big deal really? so when it came time to try handstands, no way, still haven’t but have been visualizing myself attempting and taking baby steps, and just putting my feet on the wall like downward dog, like you said and going from there. IT WILL HAPPEN!

Oh dear, I have an irrational fear of handstands, as well! I escaped it for my first month of CrossFit, but they’ve programmed it in so much that I couldn’t evade forever… my coach was soooo perplexed about why I couldn’t do it. Pssh, like the first time I try to throw my head at the ground I’m gonna be like, “oh yea, this feels natural!” Still, it’s something I am working on… along with my irrational fear of box jumps. I CANNOT get my feet to leave the ground at the same time.
