Learn how to hold a handstand. For real. Handstand Pro teaches you to balance on your hands with a real program, not random tutorials watched out of order. You take a 2-minute level test, the app finds exactly where you're at, and gives you the drills you need. Never too hard, never useless. 15 minutes a day is enough. Every session counts, every second you gain is logged, and you see your progress in black and white. WHAT MAKES HANDSTAND PRO DIFFERENT - One test, your level. The app assesses your base (core, wrists, balance) and builds a progression made for you. - A clear path. A skill tree guides you from your very first hold at the wall to a freestanding handstand. You unlock what's next by mastering the step you're on. - Fear of falling, treated as a skill. The "Cartwheel bail out" module teaches you to come down safely before you ever attempt freestanding balance. It's the number one blocker for adults, and it's solved in two sessions. - Wrists protected. Every session starts with their guided warm-up: 5 minutes that prevent the vast majority of pain. - Guided sessions. Timer, spoken countdown, coaching cues and a video demo for every drill. - Your records tracked. The app times your best holds and celebrates every new personal best. Handstand progress is invisible day to day and spectacular month to month: seeing it is what keeps you going. - Your consistency rewarded. You choose your weekly pact, the app helps you keep it. Streaks, badges, shareable progress cards. WHO IS IT FOR? Adults. Whether you've never left the floor or you already hold a few seconds against a wall, the program starts from YOUR starting point and takes you further. And no, 30 or 40 is not too late: Handstand Pro was built by an adult who rebuilt their handstand at 40, on a gymnastics foundation. WHAT YOU'LL TRAIN - Wrist strength and mobility, the base of every solid handstand - Core and alignment - Balance at the wall, then away from it - The safe bail out, so you can practice without fear - The hold, second after second FREE TRIAL, NO TRICKS The full program is included in the Handstand Pro subscription: 7-day free trial on both the yearly and monthly plans, or lifetime access as a one-time purchase. You're reminded before the trial ends, and you can cancel in 2 taps in Settings. No commitment. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account to create. Your progress lives on your iPhone.

Slutt å gjette. Begynn å trene. De fleste som trener har ingen plan. De som har en, har som regel en mal. Den er laget for gjennomsnittet, ikke for deg, og den bryr seg ikke om at du har vondt i skulderen eller bare har 25 minutter i dag. Pulse er en AI-coach som lager treningsprogrammet ditt fra bunnen av, og som skriver det om når livet endrer seg. SLIK FUNGERER DET 1. Fortell coachen hvor du står: mål, erfaring, utstyr, skader, hvor mange dager du har. 2. Få et ekte program, uke for uke, med øvelser, sett, repetisjoner og progresjon. 3. Logg øktene dine. Coachen husker alt, og planen utvikler seg med deg. EN COACH SOM FAKTISK LYTTER Skriv «jeg fikk vondt i kneet i går» eller «jeg er bortreist til fredag, bare manualer», og programmet er oppdatert før du har lagt fra deg telefonen. Ingen skjemaer, ingen innstillinger å lete etter. Bare en samtale. Coachen kjenner treningshistorikken din. Den ser at benkpressen har stått stille i tre uker, at du droppet bein to ganger på rad, at du løftet tyngre enn sist. Og den sier fra. DETTE FÅR DU • Treningsprogram tilpasset deg, oppdatert ukentlig • Ubegrenset chat med coachen din • Øktlogg med sett, vekt og repetisjoner • Fremgangsoversikt som viser utviklingen over tid • Programarkiv, så du ser hva du faktisk har gjort FOR HVEM For deg som vil trene, men ikke vet hvor du skal begynne. For deg som har trent lenge og har stått stille i månedsvis. For deg som har vurdert personlig trener, men ikke synes det er verdt prisen. Norsk, laget av én person som var lei av å trene uten plan. ABONNEMENT Pulse månedlig: 199 kr per måned, fornyes automatisk til du sier opp. Nye kontoer får 7 dager gratis. Abonnementet følger kontoen din, i appen og i nettleseren. Vilkår: https://www.pulsecoach.no/terms · Personvern: https://www.pulsecoach.no/privacy HELSE OG ANSVAR Pulse gir treningsveiledning, ikke medisinske råd. Snakk med lege før du starter et nytt treningsprogram hvis du har en skade, en sykdom eller er i tvil. Har du spørsmål? Svar på e-posten du får fra oss. Det er jeg som leser den.
