Exercise – Chest to Wall Handstand Posture

The Chest to Wall handstand drill is used for developing the right posture and deepen our stack-game. You’ll need a vertical wall you’re comfortable getting your feet on. Facing away from the wall, press into your hands and walk your feet up to perform a chest to wall handstand. Try to get your hands as close to the wall as possible. Remember to put your ears between your arms, elongate your shoulders, tuck the hips slightly and point the toes. Look for little to no arch in the back as we aim to stack our hips, shoulders, and hands over one another.

When you’re able to hold this position for 30+ seconds, it’s time to work towards advance progressions. Try one of the following:

• Split leg position
• Work on relaxing your breath and finding thoracic range
• Shifting your weight, just a little, side to side
