Handstand Walk
The handstand walk is a demanding bodyweight skill that loads the shoulders, triceps, and core while you move on your hands. It takes real upper-body strength plus the balance and coordination to hold an inverted position while traveling. It's excellent for building shoulder stability and full-body control.
How to do it
- 1
Place your hands on the floor just outside shoulder-width with your feet down and knees slightly bent.
- 2
Kick your legs up overhead into a handstand, shifting your hands as needed to find balance.
- 3
Brace your core by breathing into your belly and keep a slight arch through your back.
- 4
To move, lean your legs forward a touch and step one hand at a time to follow them.
- 5
Keep your hips stacked over your head so you don't tip too far forward.
- 6
Continue walking for your chosen distance or time.
