5 HANDSTAND HOLD drills to help you improve

Let’s IMPROVE your HANDSTANDS! Optional gymnast, Kailee, and I have 5 exercises that we’ll show you, each playing a really important part in learning and mastering the handstand hold.

These 5 drills go from “beginner” to “advanced” in difficulty level, so no matter where you are in your gymnastics journey, you’ll have plenty to practice!

We cover each of the following in-depth, breaking down how each should be practiced:

1. “T” Levers holding a foam pit overhead (You can use anything, doesn’t have to be foam!)
2. Donkey kicks up to a wall
3. Box handstand with single leg lifts
4. Shoulders to box handstand
5. Low bar supported handstand

If you practice any of the drills we talk about, make sure to let us know how you did in the comments! We want to hear from you!

PS: Huge thank you to Kailee for being an awesome demo!
