The Full Super Athlete Experience Is Here!

So many of you who have already subscribed as Super Athletes have said how much you like getting the latest workouts from the blog on your phone, setting up your weekly workout schedule, and getting access to tons of new workouts.

But today I’m really excited to announce that the full Super Athlete membership is finally here.

I basically designed the Super Athlete subscription as the missing data collection feature that I’ve always wanted (and that so many of you have told me you want as well). So not only am I really excited to share it with you guys, I’m really excited to use it as well!

Those of you who decided to become beta Super Athlete members have said how happy you are to finally have the the weekly workouts from the blog available in the app.

This is something we’ve been working on getting going for quite a while now, so I’m really glad to hear you like that initial feature!

But today I wanted to show you another Super Athlete feature you might not have found yet: the ability to set up a weekly workout schedule and have the app remind you when you want to work out.

Not surprisingly, having a pre-planned workout schedule and frequently reminding yourself of that schedule significantly helps remove any excuses not to work out.

Handstand Push Ups: Why They Rock (And How to Start Doing Them)

If you’re like most people I know, then then there’s a high probability that of the hundreds of different exercises we do during 12 Minute Athlete workouts, handstand push ups intimidate you the most.

Maybe they’re so intimidating that you’ve never even tried them, and have a habit of skipping any workouts where they’re included.

In fact, you probably think they’re near impossible — that they’re only for gymnast types with insanely broad shoulders, and strong, compact bodies.

But let me tell you a secret: you can do handstand push ups.

I don’t care how strong you are, how long your arms are (my nickname for years was spaghetti arms, so I can relate), how unbalanced and uncoordinated you are.

Unless you have a shoulder injury or something else actually prohibiting you from standing upside down, there’s absolutely no reason you can’t do handstand push ups.

Because here’s the thing: you don’t have to be superhuman to do handstand push ups. And just like anything else, you can break them down into progressions that will eventually lead you to working the full thing.
