- Begin in a handstand on a slightly elevated surface with proper body alignment.
- Bending at your elbows, lower your head to the floor, touching it down just in front of your hands.
- Be sure your head is all the way on the ground before pressing back up to handstand.
- Maintain a steady speed and proper posterior pelvic tilt as you repeat for reps.
- Your goal is to gradually increase the depth of the elevated headstand push-up by increasing the height of your hands as your strength allows.
