Instructions

Handstand Push Up Against The Wall

- Optional: Mat for cushioning

Positioning:
1. Start by facing away from the wall, about a foot away from it.
2. Place your hands on the ground, shoulder-width apart.
3. Kick your legs up to the wall while keeping your core engaged. Your body should be in a straight line, with heels touching or close to the wall.
4. Your head should be positioned between your arms, looking slightly down.

Movement:
1. Begin by bending your elbows to lower your head towards the ground. Keep your body straight and aligned.
2. Lower yourself until your head lightly touches the ground or comes close, depending on your range of motion.
3. Press through your palms to extend your arms and push your body back up to the starting position.
4. Ensure your core remains tight throughout the movement to maintain balance against the wall.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips:
- If you're new to this movement, start with a lower range of motion to build strength.
- Keep your shoulder blades engaged and avoid letting them flair out.
- Practice getting comfortable in the handstand position against the wall before adding the push-up.
