    Please don’t kip in your handstand push ups

    @dawn16 I went to a chiropractor immediately after. I said above that I could not turn my head to the left or right more than two inches for about three weeks.

    @celticghirl Not true. Kipping requires fully resting the head on the ground. With strict, you only have to lightly touch and then come back up.
