These exercises will help you improve your ability to handstand walk in all directions. Do this workout 2-3 times a week for best results.

The position for a handstand walk is the same as the position for a handstand straight. Look down, not ahead of you. This keeps your neck in a comfortable position. Let your heels drift slightly in front of you. This will help propel you forward. Keep your feet together.

Your core and glutes should always remain engaged. Otherwise, you won’t be able to hold your body upright, and you’ll flop down.

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

Wall Handstand Hold

Starting in a handstand against the wall pushing through your shoulders. Then shuffle three steps from side to side for 30 seconds. These will help improve your strength and body awareness in moving side ways in a handstand.
