If you want to learn how to stand on your hands, be prepared for training, because without them, you can’t go anywhere. This element is widely used in workout, parkour, gymnastics, yoga and other sports activities. Before you start training, think: "Why can't you still stand on your hands, and what is stopping you?" Let's consider the theoretical part of training in hand-standing.
Instructions
Step 1
Many beginners are afraid to straighten up, and hence the first mistakes come from: the arms are too wide and bent, the shoulders and stomach are put back. A person does not yet know what is happening with his legs, so first you should concentrate on calculating the center of gravity.
Step 2
In a standing position on your head, you can maintain balance, resorting to the help of muscles. However, not everyone's arms are strong enough to keep their bodies upright. In addition, some beginners morally demotivate themselves, imagining hand-standing as a technically and physically difficult exercise.
Step 3
Take the first step to your success by realizing one simple truth: for a beautiful handstand, you only need to have the center of gravity of the body located strictly under the support and nothing else.
Step 4
There is a fairly simple handstand position called "Candle". In this case, the center of gravity is easy to keep above the support. Pull in your stomach and try not to push your shoulders forward. Spread your arms shoulder-width apart or slightly narrower and try not to bend them. The straighter the arms, the better the support.
Step 5
After you have dealt with your hands, deal with the counter. Here are a couple of options: Place your hands on the floor from a seated position. Then push off the floor with your feet, throwing them up. The second option is to also rest your hands on the floor, but from a standing position. Then push off the floor with your left foot and throw your right leg behind your head. At the same time, try not to bend your legs.
Step 6
But when you have already learned how to stand "a candle", you will need to improve further, honing the balance. For this, it is very convenient to bend your legs at the knees. Bending your legs increases stability by lowering your center of gravity. In addition, your body becomes more compact. You are no longer afraid to fall and do not think about it, since your legs are in a position ready to fall. And to top it off, it will be more convenient for you to walk on your hands, do push-ups and concentrate.
