HOW TO DO HANDSTAND PUSH-UP

  1. Place the hands about shoulder-width apart near a wall and enter a controlled wall-supported handstand.
  2. Brace the trunk and glutes, keep the elbows tracking rather than flaring excessively, and lower until the head lightly reaches a pad or your controlled range.
  3. Press the floor away to return to straight arms without relaxing into the neck or lower back.
