ARCH TO PIKE HANDSTAND

Описание: ARCH TO PIKE (L) HANDSTAND

This combination is a safe and good way to practice handstands if you fear falling. It’s serves as a good warm up for handstand and also develops strength and mobility in the shoulders and core strength.

Arch handstand, after walking up with feet, sink the hips and shift the shoulders a little forward, there will be a slight arch in the lower back. Hold for a while, then change to Pike (or L) handstand, by walking down a bit and shifting the bum forward, beyond the shoulders, push up from the shoulders and also push the shoulders towards the wall to open up the shoulders. 1 arch handstand and 1 pike handstand is considered one set. Try to do 5-10 sets.

You can also try holding the Pike (or L) handstand for time, a good target being 1 minute. In a way, its safer than chest to wall handstand as you are less likely to fall on your back, once you can’t control just drop your feet to the ground.
