Today my workout goals are to jump rope out in the cooler air (with the deep squats and walking lunges I've been doing as part of those warm up interval sessions), and then to do some handstand work. Then it's *back to partner acro!* I'm very excited. I haven't written up a plan, I think that @RussSharek and I will bounce back and forth on picking tricks till we run out of ideas, and then we've located our box o' tricks that I compiled for critical review training aaaages ago. We can pull from that somewhat randomly and see where that takes us.

Todays workout went pretty well!

Jumped rope while the neighbors hung out on their porch, which was only slightly awkward as I deep squatted and did walking lunges up and down my sidewalk. I stole a calf stretch and one pancake stretch from last month's flexibility work and did those along with CARS to get everything moving and happy.
Then handstand training; Heel pulls, kneel to straddle work, kneel to tuck work, the Froggy Hops that I discovered last week, and something I'm gonna call "facing the wall straddle leans".
Then we had *Acro Time*
We started with a flow from Bird to Throne to Simple throne and then being set down above Russ's head. Then we worked on our candlestick, both floating and not floating. That took some work dialing back in, and we intend on making it a focus again on Wednesday. We practiced a piece of a new (to us) washing machine flow called a Barrel Roll, and found out that I've gotten out of practice with the pressures of Ninja Star.
We then did some 2 highs with Russ sitting in a straddle, worked on "Flipper", which both went reasonably well, given that it'd been a while since we'd done them.
I managed to slip while we practiced a Thigh Stand and while I landed on my feet, I hit the ground hard enough that my leg/hip tensed up enough that I was done for the day. Some light stretching later and that was that!
I've since eaten, done dishes, and taken a good soak. Feeling good about the workout and looking forward to more acro on Wednesday!
