Wrist Strength & Kick-Up to the Wall

 

Welcome to the first day of your handstand journey! Thank you for allowing me to be part of it. It’s important that you complete the challenge at your own pace. You may benefit from  repeating days before moving on. As the challenge progresses, the handstand variations ramp up, so you can opt to skip some of the handstands (and just keep working on your kick-up for example). But I very much encourage you to do all the drills. They will help you to build strength and succeed in the long term. Speaking of drills, let’s get to Day 1! We must build a solid foundation to create a steady handstand. So we build the pose from the ground up - with our hands. Always spend several minutes giving your hands the attention they deserve before getting upside down. Today I’ll take you through ways to strengthen your wrists, massage your forearms, and work on your grip. Then we’ll practice kick-ups to the wall - let’s get upside down!
