Handstand Prep Practice

Writer's picture: Emma KittleEmma Kittle


My goal by the end of quarantine is handstand. Since we don’t know how long this will last......... I figured I’d start now and see how far a little practice everyday takes me 🤓


These are exercises I found on IG or have learned from other trainers I work with. I’ve been adding into them my other workouts and can already feel my strength and body awareness building.


Give these a try and let me know what you think! Also feel free to share other exercises that have helped you in the quest for press ✨✌🏽



⚡️Warmup (5-10 reps: child pose / side car / mermaid tricep push-up / baby cobra / downward facing dog)

⚡️Pelvis Rocks (30 reps@sportcoreperformance#boyzup!!)

⚡️Dead Bug (3 exercises / 15 reps each side: same alternating / opposite alternating / I to X)

⚡️Shoulder Shrugs (20 tabletop / 20 kneeling pushup / 20 plank)

⚡️Pike Mountain Climbers (2 rounds of each: 10 flat / 10 piked)

⚡️Lateral Leg Slides (10 each side)

⚡️Lolasana Tucks (20 reps)

⚡️Dolphin to Downward Facing Dog Pushups (20 reps)
