Shoulder Work & Handstand in a Hallway

 

Today's drill helps to increase shoulder flexion. It's a great stretch for everyone (even if you are not aiming for handstand). It is especially helpful for those who do a lot of sitting over computers or driving, as it counters their habitual movements of rolling the shoulders inward. The handstand variation is meant to help you get upside down with a lot of support (two walls on either side). The only caution is getting into and out of this variation as space is most likely quite limited for a kick-up. So take your time walking up and down the wall in order to get all the way upside down.
