Handstand with the Push Up Devices
Handstands are not easy. Even harder when you do Handstands on your Push Up Handles, also known as the Push Up Devices! The elevation requires even more control, more strength and more connections. But, it’s also very fun! And, you can practice combining all your other Push Up Handle exercises. Use a spotter with this one and ensure your handles are secure.
Work your arms from your upper back and reach!! Also, have a spotter!
Securing your Push Up Handles on sticky pads parallel and a shoulder’s distance apart. Stand behind the handles and roll forward to place one hand on each handle. Reach one leg up to the ceiling and bend the other leg.
Reaching strongly into your arms from your back and using your bent leg kick your hips up over your shoulders, reaching the ceiling leg up. Working that leg to the ceiling, bring the kicking leg up to meet it, and hold your handstand. A spotter ensuring you don’t kick over or backbend over is worthwhile.
To come down, you can do one leg at a time. Or, eventually, working both legs together, bend at the hips and work both legs through your arms and handles. Holding yourself up in an L Sit! You can then do 10 beats. Then bring your knees into your chest and reach both legs back into a plank. Step one foot in and then the other to roll up to standing.
