Handstand Walk

Description:

Handstand Walk is an exercise that quickly develops upper body strength and endurance.  When performing this exercise, set your gaze just beyond the hands and slightly tilt your body over your head without overly arching.  By using this technique, your body will be able to create a natural forward momentum.  However, avoid over-utilizing this technique as doing so may make you completely tilt over.  As always, a tight core helps with anything that is handstand-related.

 

Process:

  • kick up to handstand
  • body should be tight and be vertically stacked, forming a straight line from toes all the way down to hands
  • look slightly past hands and extend shoulders without arching
  • use the forward momentum to allow yourself to step forward with first hand
  • maintain the momentum to move your second hand past your first
  • continue to move each hand past the other in a rhythmical fashion
