Here, try this experiment. Step onto a weight scale, and lean in any direction you'd like. If your weight goes down, then you know that your theory is right. ;)

It's a neat idea, Andre, but I don't think it explains it. A good example of how it works is a gyroscope. A particular gyroscope can feel very light when held, but when its parts stops spinning, you'll feel it's actual weight.Quote:

After doing the headstand, my weight appeared to be 151.4lbs (repeated 3 times), and for a minute it remained and then it went back up to 151.6 lbs.
I'll try it again sometime and see if anything else can affect it. I wonder if food, water, or performing the headstand differently can change the results. Can it be repeated by using a inverted/upside-down table/bench? I'm still very curious about it, but I'm still not convinced yet.
You are keen! So you lost .2Quote:

Anyway didnt Scrap say 10 miniutes on your head?
Dont think it will work in Australia, :smilie_whisper: we are upside down already.
Scrap said 5 minutes. 10 minutes would be a pain in the neck. :-\;D
It seems to work on people differently, but it works for sure, yes 5 minutes Chris.
