Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    As with any fitness regimen you should adequately warm up and stretch. Stretching helps reduce the risk of injury when completing the exercise.

  2. Step 2

    Position yourself standing, looking away from the wall. Place your hands on the floor in front of you and walk your feet up the wall. You should now be in the handstand position facing the wall. Adjust the distance between you and the wall so that you are as close to perpendicular with the floor as possible without falling backwards.

  3. Step 3

    From this position lower yourself down as if you were sitting up performing a military press. Continue completing each rep until failure. This will help you determine your level of strength so that you can develop a strength routine or workout plan that will adequately stress your body to cause muscle growth.

  4. Step 4

    When the set is complete there are two ways to safely move a way from the wall. First, is to roll into a somersault. The second is to walk your feet back down the wall. Safety is the first priority. Make sure that you are comfortable with the movement before attempting.
