So nicee!! Now I see that I had almost no strength in my wrists and fingers. I think this'll work

I notice the scapular push ups are really good for my what “bented” back.

I started on day 1 as a beginner and I just finished day 8. Every day I notice that the exercises are getting easier and my muscles stronger.  The exercises are explained and shown very clearly. 

Before, I could never keep my motivation to go the gym. But with this app and all the cool video’s I'm giving it full throttle and feel mega motivated! Thnx Nathan!

These lovely exercises get you more adjusted to having weight in your hands. While performing these make sure to have your fingers engaged. You will start to develop a sense of Secruity knowing that you can have control over where your body is with your fingers and wrists.
If you have never done handstands before, I would spend about a week at this stage. Performing these exercises daily.
I’m so happy to have you here and starting your way to a handstand!

This lovely exercise gets you more adjusted to having weight in your hands. While performing this make sure to have your fingers engaged. You will start to develop a send of Secruity knowing that you can return the weight all the way back into your feet my pushing into your fingers!
If you want to challenge yourself, try to hold the last rep as long as you can while leaning as far forwards as possible!

Step 1

While extending through your shoulders and pushing the ground away from you, shift your weight back and forth to allow you to lift your hands and tap your shoulders. Touch each shoulder once for a rep.

Kneeling shoulder taps

The goal of this exercise is to get your shoulders used to moving without bending your arms. Building this strength in this way is crucial to balancing a handstand!

Scapular pushups

This is essential for stabilizing the core, which is a huge part of balancing a handstand.
Have pressure in your toes, and lift from your core, all while keeping your flutes tight and tailbone tucked under.

Glute bridge

Handstands need straight lines, and luckily for you the floor is flat! (If not, speak to your landlord ASAP)
Lie down and really focus on pushing your belly button down through your spine into the floor. There should be no room for you to get your hand under your spine!

Flatteners!

Putting weight in your hands!

This is my all time favourite and has been so helpful for my wrist that used to hurt so much and would make me cut short my handstand training.

Very good warm up. The only thing was that I was behind on the counts and always trying to catch up.
