Hand Stand Push Up

Step by step guide:

  1. Find a nice looking wall and then place your hands on the ground about a foot away from it.

  2. Kick your legs up so that you end up in a handstand position with your heels against the wall.

  3. Lower yourself down until the top of your head touches the ground, and then press yourself back up.

  4. When you’re done with your set, let your legs fall forward toward the ground and catch yourself.

Helpful cues:

  1. Make this exercise more challenging by elevating your hands on books, push-up stands, weight plates, or other objects.

Common Mistakes:

  1. Creating momentum by bending your knees and then kicking your legs up to assist on the press. This is not ideal as we want to challenge the muscles through a full range of motion.
