Handstand Hold

How to Perform Handstand Hold

1. 1
   Standing and facing the wall, place your hands on the floor and kick your feet up against the wall into the handstand. Be sure to think about locking your arms out as you kick your feet up the wall.
2. 2
   Once you've got your feet up onto the wall, you want to look through your arms. It might be helpful to think about keeping your arms glued to your ears. Don't look at the floor because this could put your neck into an awkward position.
3. 3
   You also want to think about keeping your body in a tight, straight line. Squeeze the glutes, glue your legs together, and point the toes. The more tightness and tension you have through your body, the more stable you will be.
4. 4
   To come out of the handstand hold, kick your feet down off of the wall. Be sure to use caution coming out of the position. Maintain body control throughout the descent.
5. 5
   The handstand hold is a static position. See how long you can hold the handstand or perform 3 sets of a certain time amount.
6. 6
   This is a movement that will require some practice to get the hang of it but is a great way to build strength in your shoulders and become comfortable being inverted.
