FitNessieHow to do it
- Set a pad on the floor a few inches from a wall, with your hands shoulder width or slightly wider on either side of it. This is an advanced move.
- Kick up into a handstand against the wall, heels lightly resting on it.
- Brace your core and press your legs together.
- Lower your head toward the pad with your elbows angled in, so your head lands nearer the wall than your hands.
- Press back up until your arms are straight.
Key cues
