When starting anything in life we need to start with
the basics, the same concept applies to handstands.
Basically if we can’t hold the position laying flat on the
ground on your back or stomach, how do you expect
to hold it balancing only on your hands?
The following are two positions to work on before
climbing the wall. Just remember that even when you
have made it to the wall and have reached decent level
of skill with the handstand, its always a good thing to
revisit these positions to check in with your alignment. 2

You know the saying PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE
A skill like the handstand will need to be practiced every
single day or even multiple times per day. This is how
I was able to progress rapidly whilst ensuring correct
form and stability. I would kick up to a handstand every
second I had.
In the park , beach, shopping center, kitchen where ever
I had enough room.
I became obsessed with wanting to improve this skill
and this obsessive behavior is exactly what needs to
happen to make fast improvements in your handstand
practice. You can’t force yourself to do it, you need
to develop a love for it and who doesn’t love getting
upside down.
So consistency is key here and your body will respond
5 more rapidly to regular short practices, rather than
periodic lengthy session. Keep this in mind and try to
fit in practice anytime you have a spare second or two.
