Metcon (No Measure)

7 Min Handstand Hold Practice

Practice Holding a Free Standing Handstand or Handstand against the Wall for 7 min.  Take breaks as needed.A couple options here.  You can practice these free standing if you are ready for it.  To make it more difficult you can draw a box on the ground and force yourself to stay in it!

You can do these facing out or facing into the wall.  Facing into the wall is a better way to practice for position purposes.  You can also practice in a pike position or you can try the bar in the rack method as seen in the video.

Focus is on keeping the belly tight and butt squeezed.  Point those toes to help you stay tight!
