Master this impressive display of upper body strength and balance by starting with wall walks and gradually building up core stability. Practice against a wall first to build confidence, then progress to freestanding holds. Even holding it for 10 seconds feels like a major victory.

People who tried this

As usual, Alex demo’d all the moves before we got going. She made the “kick up practice” moves look so manageable that my fear began to dissipate almost immediately. After our “practice round” I realized I was feeling mobile in my hips and getting some decent air in my kicked-up leg. And I won’t lie: when Alex shouted at me through the screen, “KIM YOU ARE THERE!!!” it really helped. It was half way into our first proper round when I did it: I touched the wall with my elevated foot. [...] Then, just like that, BAM: I was in a handstand. To my surprise, it did NOT feel that hard to hold.
