小时候，不是一个淘气的女生。课外娱乐多是和小朋友在沙堆里玩，或院子里玩过家家。活动最多就是扔沙包或跳绳。看到其他小朋友玩倒立翻风车（其实我的圈子里很少），一点也不羡慕。回想起来，感觉可能就是，他/她们有那个基因，高难度的动作与我无关。
现在四十出头。大半辈子是个书虫。体育将近凑活过关。自己也不觉得缺什么--没有运动基因嘛。她们能做到的我不能。
将近三十，生活大变。过去十年多，接触了攀岩，山地/公路自行车，一发不可收。发现自己的人生观有了一百八十度扭转。才发现只要自己努力（感兴趣），都能达到专业水平（见下补充）。这是对自己自信心最好的鼓励。现在对生活的态度就是，别人能做得到的我也能（只要感兴趣）。
某天突然冒出想法，我希望这辈子自己也能做倒立(handstand)。有过拖延，不过一个多月前终于开始行动。上了两小时的课，算是入门，接下来基本上就是平均每隔一天做练习。终于两个星期后做成了自己不受辅助的第一个倒立。持续练习，现在越发轻松。
目前还是需要踢到墙上。但是我会持续训练。希望哪天能空中倒立。
写此文与坛友互勉。生命不息，上进不止。
补充：
谢谢大家的鼓励。我做几点补充。另外加几张图片。
1. 过去一直对倒立有种不知名的畏惧，可能是怕自己垮下去或做不好会把脖子折断。后来心里也知道是没根据的畏惧，就有想法要克服，算是对自己的挑战。这也和我改变了的心态有关，因为我认识到许多情况下，人的恐这恐那，实际上是没有理由反而限制了自己。能够克服无由的恐惧实际上是扩张自己的自由。这是为什么我会想做倒立。后来的确查了查，似乎做倒立有不少健康好处，那何乐不为。
2. 午饭前瞟一眼，看到教练对我的“才发现只要自己努力（感兴趣），都能达到专业水平”的说法颇有质疑。很感动他的删贴，可能是不想破坏大家正面的反馈吧。但是我很理解他的质疑，尤其作为专业人士，可能都觉得这种说法很是不敬。希望教练及其他质疑人士理解：我从事的几项运动都是非主流的，尤其我的专长在于持久(endurance)，而非短快(sprint)，所以我的领域的确竞争者比较稀薄。虽然我不虚伪谦虚，但是我也不空口吹牛。
公路自行车：2009年参加加州Death Ride（125英里/200公里，五座大山，每年三千人左右参加）用GPS记录的总行程时间女子记录在Strava上直到2016年才被一个当地（高海拔）骑手打破。 山地自行车：一个grassroot的100英里/160公里(22000ft/6705m ascent)的高强度的民间越野竞赛（虽然有专业骑手参加），从2010年到现在，我仍然是唯一完成全程的女骑手。 攀岩：户外的攀岩没有比赛形式（没法比呀）。但是我的能和自己水平相融的户外女生攀伴均为全职（比如是mountain guide)。我澄清以上也是想支持自己的信服的理论： 有志者事竟成。自己在这里学到不少养生知识，也从坛友那里受到不少启发。所以希望自己也能给坛友带来一些鼓舞。
下面上图片，可能以后会删：
1. 前两天朋友照的。我都不知道。
2. 户外攀岩其实照片很少，因为大家手都忙着呢。难得有几张。
3. 山地车骑爽了就这样了。其实自己在国内中学大学都是靠自行车做交通工具，却从来不该单手撒把，更别说双手了--想想自己过去胆子不是一般的小呀。
肌肉还是有的。好在平时不较劲不算太显。
4. 不好意思，这是七年前的照片了拿来充数。骑Death Ride时官方合同照相商照的。在山里骑得快是有必要的。因为当时艳阳高照，一个小时后（我已打道回府）就狂风大作，雨和冰雹齐下，虽然来得快去得也还算快，但是仍然让众多骑士受罪啦。
5. 倒立的照片没有。下面是刚刚能够自行倒立时拍的短片（给家人发得瑟来着）。还是初学者，让大家笑话啦！
谢谢看贴！
可以同时练练deadlifting和pull-up,加强臂力和core strength帮助平衡和持久。有兴趣的话再练ashtanga yoga, 它的每个动作间的过渡都是handstand而且还可以练柔韧性。
来自同学聚会的演讲“人到中年的困境”
相信你是很年轻，而且是个大美女。 因为你真的是仙人 ：)
小猫我当初研究生毕业的时候，我的老婆那时的女朋友说，我们结婚吧，我说可以呀，然后就领证。领证完，我给我妈打电话，说：“ 妈，我领证结婚了 ”， ：)
刚才跟帖揶揄了一下“将信将疑”，现在彻底地疑惑全无啦！我以为你这种生活态度和感悟是很高境界的，很值得推崇和供大家学习，WXC里还有几位职业女性的运动生涯玩的十分潇洒漂亮，比如"广陵晓阳"网友等人。。。其实，我是担心在我们相对保守的文化中，你架起么高的Bar，寒光闪闪的，吓退了众多网友，哈哈哈。 再次感谢分享图文并茂的好经历！最后祝妹妹更上一层楼，也请万万注意安全！
大学生时代体育课不及格：））。。。她现在义务Coaching那些Underserved的贫困学生Club跑步，干的有声有色
装备一流，水平就不能和这几位比啦：））
谢谢跟踪问候。有算继续练，但不是专门练，做stretch时特地花长一些时间做Cobra pose。虽然不一样，但是我能感受backbend更强烈些。
Deadlifting 会不会影响腰椎? 我原来常做 有次做得急了 伤了腰 挺疼的。 照x光 说最后一节腰椎disk 变薄 我不知道和deadlift 有关没 就不敢做了。
