Handstands can be intimidating for beginners, but with the right approach, anyone can learn to perform them. Start with the basics by practicing wall-supported handstands. Stand facing away from the wall and place your hands on the ground, shoulder-width apart. Kick one leg up to touch the wall, followed by the other leg, and hold the position. This helps you get used to being upside down while providing support.
Another important aspect of learning handstands is building the necessary strength. Focus on exercises that strengthen your shoulders, wrists, and core. Push-ups, planks, and shoulder presses are great for this. Additionally, practice holding the wall-supported handstand for longer periods to build endurance in the necessary muscles.
Once you’re comfortable with wall-supported handstands, try freestanding handstands. Find an open space with plenty of room to fall safely. Kick up into a handstand and focus on engaging your core and keeping your body straight. Even if you can only hold the position for a few seconds, keep practicing. With time and consistency, you’ll improve your balance and control, eventually mastering the freestanding handstand.
