Handstand !
-
Ok, here is a video of what I meant. Notice all my push comes from the leg on the floor. Also, make sure your body is a straight, or slightly hollow line. Do not let your back arch. Keep reaching your toes to the ceiling and really push out of your shoulders. If you are unsure, do it with a spot or in front of a wall so if you fall, it catches you.
Here is a video of straddling up. It is typically easier for beginners. Again, a spot can be helpful. Getting good at hopping through a straddle will help you when you go to your press someday. You want to get your hips completely stacked over your head before you start to lift your legs.
And a demo of twisting out. This is helpful so you dont just flop over and slam on the floor. it is similar to doing a cartwheel. Just twist your hips to one side, reach your toe for the floor and everything else will follow.

Thanks for all your wonderful advice !
I worked hard on my forearm stand and handstand with that L shape you’ve shown Jsheridan.
I did like 10-15 minutes every evening with my boyfriend to spot me as I was afraid of falling on my back and well, I can now do it without a wall behind me !!!
Just as simple as that ! I’m so happy 🙂
I can only hold for fews seconds so I’ll work on that now ! -
Awesome! Handstands take time and consistency. Keep at it, and they will be easy in no time!
