The main load falls on the shoulder girdle, arm, and core muscles<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>It will improve your coordination and a sense of balance. The handstand will enhance overall control over your own body. The benefits of such training are obvious not only in the gym but also in everyday life<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Handstand also improves blood circulation.

Even athletes with good physical fitness are recommended to do the handstand the first time with the wall support or use a partner who can hold you in case of unsteadiness. You can put a gymnastic mat in front of you so that in case you fall forward on your back it will soften the impact. Remember, that hands should be put only on a solid surface in any case!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5626\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5626\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5626\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stojka-na-rukah_12.jpg\" alt=\"Standing technique\" width=\"600\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stojka-na-rukah_12.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stojka-na-rukah_12-768x474.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stojka-na-rukah_12-1024x631.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5626\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Standing technique<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Handstand at the wall:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Face the wall and bring one leg forward. The leg you are still standing on will make a straight line with your body throughout the entire movement<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>You should springy step on the outstretched leg in a quick movement and bend sharply with a straight body, twisting at the hip. Straight up the second leg to the back, making a swinging movement. Put your hands on the floor 10-15 cm from the wall. Put your head down, and then push the second leg elastically off the floor. The force of the push and the inertia of the swing will allow you to throw your pelvis and legs up and perform a handstand. Try to stay as straight as possible, without sagging your shoulders or arching your lower back. The body must be stretched in a string<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Try to look at your body<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Coming out of this position, first lower one leg, then the other<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you want in the future to master a handstand without support, it is not recommended to practice it against the wall for a long time. This is since the weight of the body is not distributed quite evenly when leaning against the wall and an involuntary bend in the lower back is formed, which ideally should not be there. Therefore, once you have mastered the technique of a handstand against the wall, start gradually taking your feet off the wall, and then stand on your hands without touching the wall with your feet.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>A handstand without support is technically a bit more complicated. It is performed in the same way as the abovementioned exercise. The difficulty lies in keeping the body upright.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Therefore, skipping the moment of entering the handstand, let&#8217;s focus exactly on keeping the balance. How to learn to master it without support?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Your body must be strictly perpendicular to the ground to maintain balance<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Your shoulders are fully open, which means your arms and body should not form an angle<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Remember to keep a straight line<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The fingers of the hands are open and point forward. Keep the load center off the hands, as it may seem right at first, try to keep it on the fingers and on the place where the fingers are attached to the palm<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Your back should be straight. At first, it seems that the bend in the lower back helps to balance, but it&#8217;s not so. If there is even a little bend, then your head will be involuntarily pulled forward, which subjects the lumbar spine to an additional unwanted load<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Extended your legs upward<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Keep your head between the arms, direct your gaze straight ahead, and don\u2019t look at the ground<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is difficult to subjectively estimate your own position, so ask somebody to take a picture or shoot a video. This way it will be easier to correct possible mistakes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Coming_out_of_a_pose\"><\/span>Coming out of a pose<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you feel unbalanced when you enter this pose, try fixing the position first with your fingers or changing the position of your feet. Try not to lean on your hands until the pose itself is perfect. By the time you perfect the exercise technique, you\u2019ll not need any additional training. It will be a piece of cake for you.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5625\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5625\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5625\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stojka-na-rukah_8.jpg\" alt=\"Come out in U-turn in the direction of the fall\" width=\"600\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stojka-na-rukah_8.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stojka-na-rukah_8-768x298.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stojka-na-rukah_8-1024x398.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5625\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Come out in a U-turn in the direction of the fall<\/p><\/div>\n<p>You can come out of the handstand the same way as you enter it, only in reverse, or to the side or forward (the side where your back is directed).<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpsm-numbox wpsm-style4\"><span class=\"num\">1<\/span>To start with, put one leg backward, then the other<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpsm-numbox wpsm-style4\"><span class=\"num\">2<\/span>If you are suddenly pulled sideways or forward (there is a danger of falling on your back), try to turn sideways in the direction of the fall and put one leg on the ground first, then the other<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpsm-numbox wpsm-style4\"><span class=\"num\">3<\/span>The most technically difficult element is to come out of the pose using a somersault. Do not try to perform this element without proper training or if you are not familiar with the somersaults. Never fall on your head or neck! Keep your chin pressed to the chest, as the ground must touch your shoulders first. Next, do the roll with the rounded spine. The inertia of the somersault should be enough to get you to your feet. To learn how to do such an exit, you should practice on a gymnastic mat, having worked out the standard somersaults beforehand<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_5624\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5624\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5624\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stojka-na-rukah_7.jpg\" alt=\"Coming out with the somersault\" width=\"600\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stojka-na-rukah_7.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stojka-na-rukah_7-768x311.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stojka-na-rukah_7-1024x415.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5624\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Coming out with the somersault<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Complicated_variants_of_the_exercise\"><\/span>Complicated variants of the exercise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a lot of options to complicate and diversify such exercise if you have already mastered the classical pose.<\/p>\n<h3>Using bars<\/h3>\n<p>First, you can try to learn how to do it on parallel bars or on special supports that are put on the floor. This is a more difficult variant due to the reduction of inertia. You rise the body largely due to the effort of your muscles. However, the hands-on bars are more natural for your body, which makes it a bit easier to keep the balance.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5623\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5623\" class=\"wp-image-5623 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stojka-na-rukah_5.jpg\" alt=\"Handstand: Using Special Stops\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stojka-na-rukah_5.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stojka-na-rukah_5-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stojka-na-rukah_5-1024x575.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5623\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Handstand: Using Special Stops<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Pirouette or U-turn<\/h3>\n<p>The pirouette exercise is a turn on the bars without ending the movement. To learn how to perform it, first practice holding your hands steady, do not bend your back, transferring your weight in the direction of the turn. When you&#8217;ve mastered it, move your arms from one support to the other. When you have completed the turn, level off and stabilize your position. Only then you can end the exercise.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5622\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5622\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5622\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stojka-na-rukah_4.jpg\" alt=\"Handstand: Pirouette or U-turn\" width=\"600\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stojka-na-rukah_4.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stojka-na-rukah_4-768x504.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aafs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/stojka-na-rukah_4-1024x672.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5622\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Handstand: Pirouette or U-turn<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>The planche<\/h3>\n<p>Try to change the position of the body up to the horizon relative to the ground.
