Description:
Reverse Handstand Walks are exercises that develop upper body strength and endurance. For those that are new to any form of handstand walks, it is generally recommended that they start with reverse or lateral walks. The reason for this is because it is generally considered easier to maintain proper technique and body tightness when walking in a lateral or reverse direction.
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
- spot a point a few inches behind you and push out and against the floor using the heel of your palm
- use the backward momentum to move your first hand backwards
- continue to use the momentum to move your second hand past your first
- continue to maintain tempo to move in a rhythmical fashion
