Description: You have all the weight in your hands!

You’re so close!!! Now you’re kicking up against the wall! You’re not all the way in a handstand yet but taking steps is important and you’ll be there in no time!

Now you’re kicking all the way up almost into a full handstand!!! I am so proud of you!!! Keep up the great work!

This exercise gets you used to having your entire body weight on your hands.
Keep the up leg bent snd ready to find the wall, and the push leg low so you never feel like you’re going to crash into the wall.
Start slowly, it’s ok if you don’t make contact with the wall, you’ll get there.

Mini wall kicks

Keep your arms straight!!!
Often times you want to feel like you’re doing more, or achieving more movement so you’ll bend your arms. Try your absolute best to keep them locked out. Even if it feels like there is very little movement, that’s ok!!! We are working the shoulder not your triceps!

Elevated shoulder shrugs

This is the same concept as the kneeling leans, however since your position and center of gravity is now elevated, there is more weight in your hands which will cause you to get stronger!
Always remember, your wrists and fingers control how far forward you go. If you’re feeling like you’re going to crash forward, engage the wrists and push through the fingers to bring yourself back!

Elevated leans!

This exercise gets you used to shifting your weight from hand to hand. It also helps you with stability training since you’re going to one hand! On top of that, since you’re on one hand you’re doubling the weight you were previously holding!!!
Keep in mind 1 rep means touching each side once!

Elevated elbow taps

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!

This is just like a normal glute bridge, however when you straighten your leg make sure you’re hips don’t go askew!
A rep is one of each leg. I recommend alternating!

You’re so close!!!

You have all the 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.

Handstand warm up!

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