How to - forearm stand:
- Bring your mat up against a wall, then locate your hands two or three feet away from the wall. Make sure arms are parallel to each other and facing the wall, not pointing inwards or outwards.
- On your forearms, walk your feet up into dolphin pose, or a downward facing dog variation, until you feel the backs of your thighs lifting up.
- Slowly, balance on one leg and you pull the other toward the sky.
- Use the foot planted on the ground to gently kick up as your extended leg also begins to propel forward.
- Bring your legs together in the air, trying to balance without the wall. It’s perfectly alright if you can’t - the wall is there to catch you before you fall.
- Keep your tailbone tucked in and ribs pulled inward as you balance, staying aware of your breath and making sure to not put extra pressure on the lower back.
- To come out, let the legs fall back toward the mat as you come back into dolphin pose. Release into child’s pose and rest for a few breaths.

I ran along side a 20-something year old woman today and I asked her how long she was going to run for.
Her response: “I ran about 7 miles already. I’m probably going to go for another 13-14. Care to join?”
My reply: “WHAT?! 20 miles?! How can you run for so long?”
And she said: “Well, my legs are already dead tired. But my mind wants to keep going. So really, my mind keeps me running; not my legs.”
Even of you’re “running” 2 mph keep going. The second you stop and walk, you’re done for.
Damn straight. Nothing but the truth.
So so true
re-blogged, again!
