Experiments in Balance – Getting a Feel for Action Figure Posing

[davidd]

After seeing the yoga posing pictures her friend Lea posted on Facebook...

...Mom Attempts a Hand Stand:

Mom says she's gonna do a hand stand... by starting the hard way with a backwards lean.

Apparently, Mom thinks she's still as flexible as when she was a cheerleader in junior high school.

So far, so good – after arching her back and planting her hands on the floor,

Mom kicks her feet upwards, first one foot followed by the other.

Tensing her abs – dang, girl! – Mom hurls her feet and hips in to the air

while simultaneously pushing up with her arms!

Straighten up... and hold! HURRY UP AND SNAP A PIC!

Okaaayyyy... lower the feet forward from the waist...

... and use the momentum to follow through into a standing position!

Top dat, yo!
