This is so helpful! A lot of how-to handstand videos just advise you to kick your legs up as if I have that much confidence as a beginner. This is definitely a do-able progression for me!

Exactly! That would be stage 2 if I were a complete beginner. First building the strength to even hold yourself up is a must before you go adding the challenge and fear of kicking up into the mix.

i can kick my leg up, but i noticed that when i tried learning a handstand that way, it was hard to engage my core. I did it facing the wall and now my back isnt curving

@CharlieFollows

@@ngndnd I know what you mean. I think when people start with kicking up they are trying to run before they can walk. It’s best to focus on static holds to build a strong foundation and an understating of alignment and then add in a dynamic movement like kicking up after that.

When I was a kid I could hold a handstand for two minutes. I took about 5 /6years off from gymnastics and am now back at it. I surprised myself with what I coudk still do. That handstand is now 2 seconds instead of two minutes but I decided I wanna build it back up😊

Omg the strength in your wrists and core!!! How easy you make it look... Any tips for wrists strengthening exercises for beginners? I hurt my wrists just doing this move, twice, after a good and easy yoga warm up. Office workers we have super weak wrists!!

Stretching and mobilizing your wrists daily goes a long way. Sometimes I start with wrist CARS (slow, controlled circles) 10 times in both directions. Then, I get on my hands and knees and just rock forward onto my hands, pause for a moment, then rock back (do that a few times). Next, I (delicately) flex my wrists inwards and do the same movement a few times. Warming up and just spending time with weight on your wrists and hands (full planks, push up modifications, etc) is so helpful for wrist strengthening. Hybrid Calisthenics on KZread should have some helpful suggestions on wrist strengthening.

Bro, I actually did this in real life and actually didn’t get hurt. Thanks and I also practiced it.

Honestly I don’t think the fear goes away unless you face the thing you are scared of. It might not be what you want to hear but I promise you the more you do what you are scared of the less scary it becomes.

my best trick is: do it close to a wall and start with your hands on the floor! one leg is stretched and will give you momentum to come up, the other leg is bent and acts like a spring. you do not need to start standing upright with a lot of momentum and streght. handstand requires muss less energy and force than you might think! one determined mid-strenght bounce for one foot is actually enough to get up. and you are not as feared when your hands are already on the ground and there is a wall behind you so that you cannot fall 😊 ask someone to even spot you or help you to lift your legs up and you will see it’s super easy! 😊
