What's working for @charlieafollows on Instagram.

I’ve been offered a lot of these. The honest answer is that I don’t think the world needs more things, it needs more experiences. If I ever do recommend something, it’ll be because I’ve used it for years, not because someone paid me to have an opinion about it this week. I’ve been doing this for over ten years. Of course I move more than most people do, it’s my job. That makes my body a bad benchmark and a worse goal, and I’d much rather you felt good in yours than spent another year trying to change, define or reshape it. This account is my work. My relationships, my family and my friends didn’t sign up to be content, and I’m not going to make that decision for them. I think we could all stand to go back to keeping some things private. I know exactly how influential a “what I eat in a day” post is. That’s the reason you won’t get one from me. I’m a movement professional, not a nutritionist, and what works for my body isn’t a plan for yours. Of course you say good things about something when you’re being paid to. I’d rather build something I own and control, and let my students’ results speak instead of me. I used to admire people who never stopped. I don’t anymore. I’ve never once looked back and wished I’d spent another hour editing a short, and I don’t think I’ll start.

If I had to learn handstand again, I’d start here. These drills are really just the start, if you want to learn advanced poses it’s best to break things down and work towards the pose gradually. Especially for scary poses like a handstand, feeling safe and in control is paramount. If you are serious about learning handstand and other advanced poses I created the skills pathway for you. It guides you through headstand, forearmstand, handstand and flexibility for the splits and backbends. Comment ‘skills’ and I’ll send you the link.

If I only had 10 minutes for a full body workout, I’d start here. Full routine now on Charlie’s Angels. Comment ‘angel’ and I’ll send you the link.
