Description

  • Stand facing a sturdy wall.
  • Start by quickly dropping and rolling backwards, hands catching the floor right behind your head.
  • Quickly push with your hands and roll your body back up and into a standing position.
  • Then move right into a handstand by kicking one leg up, followed by the other, onto the wall.
  • Then carefully bring your legs back down, one at a time, and stand up.
  • Repeat for a specified number of reps.

ProTip

  • For the hand stand, kick up with one leg at a time, and come down softly with one leg at a time.

Mistakes

  • Not rolling forward fast enough, thus having to straighten the legs to complete.
  • Placing the hands too close or too far from the wall for the hand stand.
  • Coming down from the handstand with both feet at the same time, thus striking the ground too hard.
