Description: Handstand Strength

This workout will help you build the necessary strength required to improve your handstand skills.  These exercises are meant for all levels and can be achieved anywhere with a wall.

Simple handstand hold against the wall. While facing the wall push your shoulders into the wall, and extend tall.

Wall Handstand Hold

- Start in pike position 
- Raise your hips as much as you can keeping your legs extended
- Lower your head towards the ground 
- Press yourself back up to the starting position

Pike push up

Starting in a straight arm plank. Keeping your hands on the ground, lift your hips up and begin walking your feet up the wall. Once you have reached a handstand, begin walking back down returning back to the straight arm plank.

Handstand Wall Walks

-Push off the floor, raising up off your knees onto your toes and resting mainly on your elbows. 

-Contract your abdominals to keep yourself up and prevent your butt from sticking up. 

-Keep your back flat — don't let it droop or you'll be defeating the purpose. Picture your body as a long straight board, or plank.

Elbow Plank

While facing the wall, enter into a handstand position with your legs on the wall at a 90 degrees in front of you. 

Keeping your head tucked in, and pushing through your shoulders.
