BOOK REVIEWS..."I have several of Karen's books, and I use them constantly. The handstand drills book, in particular, has been invaluable in teaching my gymnasts about basic body tightness and control as well as the handstand. Each books contains such a wide variety of drills that I can pick and choose the ones that are best for my gymnasts and tailor them to our needs. FABULOUS BOOKS!"Moselle Campbell "Full of information... This book contains a lot of drills and conditioning (obviously) for running, vaulting, bars, dance skills, and press handstands.
