To build the skills and strength needed to confidently kick up to a handstand without a wall. You’ll be doing specific handstand skills and conditioning drills to build your understanding of what makes a good kick up and learning the shape of a handstand.

A lot of handstand practice is about building awareness so practice with intention. Avoid doing reps just to tick them off the list - each rep is building your handstand skill and strength so don’t rush. Perform each rep according to the cues and to the best of your ability.

If you are able to kick up to a handstand against a wall and would like to learn the skill of consistently being able to kick up to a freestanding handstand, this program is for you. If you already have a consistent kick up and would like to build your handstand hold, move on to my next program: Hold Your Handstand.

Each week includes 3 workouts. They will take a minimum of 30 minutes (could be longer depending on how long you want to practice your freestanding handstands at the end of each workout). I’ve tried my best to keep these workouts short so you can incorporate these into your own training. That being said, frequency is important in learning a handstand so you will get out what you put in! If you plan on doing these workouts during a ‘shoulder day/upper body push day’, try to do your handstand training first while you are fresh!

This program requires access to a light kettlebell, dumbbells, a Swiss ball and a wall. That being said, there are ways to do this if you don’t have any of this equipment so please reach out if you need a substitute exercise!
