If you’re #TeamFitFam, you’re probably familiar with terms like dumbbells, bench press, barbells and such. But I bet you have never seen anything like the routine this New York fitness junkie does everyday.
Christopher Joyce is a fitness sensation who records himself working out in the most unexpected places and posts on Instagram and Youtube.
In one photo, you see him doing handstands on a traffic sign. In another, you see him jumping down some stairs with his legs in the air, barbells in his palms. Wherever he goes to perform these impressive workout stunts, he attracts a crowd that gathers together to cheer him along.

For someone whose workout routine comprises walking down the office stairs, it blew me away that someone could create these impossible handstands. I reached out to him to find out how he started.
‘Well I started training on the floor first and building my core. Every day I would a combination of ten push-ups and ten dips. Then I learned how to do a handstand on a dip bar and straight bar in after three months of consistent training.
‘Again a gym opened up a close to where I live and that’s when I started practising on the Dumbbells and barbells. But most importantly I started to get this urge to be the first to do things so I started flipping them, rolling them, catching them in mid air, twisting them and going down the stairs with them, basically things no one had done before, so when I die I can be remembered for something.’
