Wall Handstand
- Begin in a straight arm plank with your feet at the base of a wall.
- Keep a straight body and walk your feet up the wall until your hands are within 6 to 12 inches of it.
- Check that your body is straight, your pelvis is posteriorly tilted and your shoulders are elevated (shrug to your ears).
- For this wall handstand progression, focus on developing comfortability while upside down and opening your shoulders into 180-degree flexion.
- Hold for time, ultimately building to sets of 30-90 seconds.
