Description: W4/D2: Kick Up Technique

Set aside 10-15 minutes to practice just your kick up entry to handstand 

Things to focus on: 
+ Arms by ears 
+ Moving the arms and legs in unison to maintain straight body alignment 
+ Keeping core, legs, and glutes squeezed 
+ Pressing up to the ceiling as soon as contact is made with the floor (no sinking of the shoulders or bending of the elbows) 
+ Looking between out index and thumb 
+ Strong pushing leg and a straight kicking leg 
+ Hands facing forward and weight into the top of the hand 
+ Aim to hit an “L” or “V” shape before bringing legs together
