When beginning the process of mastering a handstand its important to take your time in each progression to let your body learn to stabilize efficiently and properly. A couple simple beginner exercises that can help you get going.⠀ ・・・⠀ 🎥 By @kchu.dpt. ⇐ Thank you 🙌⠀ ・・・⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Check out some progressions to get you started.⠀ .⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🥇This movement can be very daunting initially on. Mastering it truly takes time and dedication just like anything else worth doing.⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 😀Box inverted holds- find an object to place your knees on to take the weight of your legs. Perform a static hold for as long as you can tolerate building up to a minute time frame.⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 😎Inverted Hold taps- now that you’ve mastered holding, work on progressions for single arm strength and balance. Start by tapping your opposite wrist for a quick second then place it back down. To progress go higher up the arm.⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 😉Inverted Walking- Similar to the taps except now you won’t have that second brace of your other arm for support. Take your arm off the ground and bend your elbow like you were walking.⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤓Inverted Holds On Toes- Now that you are familiar in that inversion position, let’s make it harder. Transfer the weight from your knees to your ankles. Start from the static holds then work your way through the various positions.⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 😡Wrist pain is very common for people that have not done anything with their hands in a weight bearing position for awhile. This is not something to push through and may require some time to help to desensitize the body in those positions.⠀ ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••⠀ ✅ Have something to share?

Todays was my very first attempt at an unassisted handstand. No walls and not workout partners. 44 years old and I never ever did a handstand in my life. Deprived childhood huh? Since awareness is my main objective, handstands are a must for me to master. It felt like I fell a hundred times. Didn't help that it was 30 degrees (F) and super windy out. Check back in with me in 6 months. I guarantee it won't be looking like this. I can't just show you pretty videos of me doing things that I can do well. How would that be inspirational? I am just as real as you are. Now let's grow together! #handstand #beginnerhandstand #calisthenics #bodyweighttraining #awareness #awarenessfitness #strength #fall #outdoorfitness #outdoorworkout #workoutinthepark #workoutinthecold #handstands (at Prospect Park Lake)
