How To Practice Handstands Without A Wall For Moral Support
Dec 12, 2022
- Have the urge to practice handstands.
- Understand that this is a perfectly sensible goal! It’s great for balance and upper body strength.
- Be unsure how to go about this if there is no wall or other supportive surface available.
- Scope something less fancy. A chair works, right?
- Commit to not worrying about it.
- Take that into your practice. Put your feet securely on that extraneous structure — making sure in advance that it can hold your weight, please! Don’t endanger yourself.
- Once you’ve sure you’re not in danger (squeeze your core, bro), then let yourself fall, a little.
- Let yourself fall, a lot.
- Bounce back after every miss.
- Keep bandaids on hand, just in case.
