THE ULTIMATE HANDSTAND GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS

1. Improves Strength And Flexibility.

Handstands are the ultimate full-body workout as they recruit DOZENS of muscles at once. From your arms and core to your shoulders and wrists, you’ll build strength, muscular endurance and mobility. However, it’s not all about strength. I have seen people who can bench press twice their weight struggle with handstands. Why? because handstands demand just as much balance, coordination and control as they demand strength. That’s the magic of a handstand: strength and balance in harmony

2. It Scares You – Yes That Is A Positive!

What do you have currently in your life which scares you? For many, even the idea of a handstand/ going upside down is enough to make their heart race. But that’s the beauty of it - it’s both a mental and physical challenge, which is why they are so rewarding. Growth happens outside your comfort zone and handstands push you there.

3. Requires No Equipment (maybe a wall).

Handstands are the ultimate bodyweight exercise there is no excuse not to! If you have room to stand up, you have room to practise handstands.

4. It Looks Cool!

Let’s be honest: handstands are impressive. Mastering one not only feels incredible, but looks amazing. Not that you should base your worth on what other people think, but there’s no denying the little ego-boost you’ll get from doing something most people can’t.

5. Benefits Across Sports And Activities.

The strength, balance and coordination you develop from handstands translate into countless other sports and disciplines. Whether it’s yoga, gymnastics, martial arts, or weightlifting, the foundational conditioning you’ll gain will make you stronger, more agile, and more controlled in everything you do.
