HOW TO EXIT IN (HS)

Exiting a handstand can be just as important as entering it, as it


requires control, balance, and proper technique to prevent
injury.
Here are steps to safely exit a handstand:

1. Start by bending your knees and bringing them towards


your chest, while keeping your balance.
2. As your knees come closer to your chest, begin to shift your
weight forward. This will start to transfer the weight from
your hands back to your feet.
3. Once your weight is shifted forward, begin to lower your
legs towards the ground. Move slowly and control your
movements to avoid landing too fast.
4. As your feet touch the ground, gently lower your body by
bending at the waist and hips, until you are back in a
standing position.
5. Take a few deep breaths and shake out your hands to
release any tension in your arms.

It is important to practice exiting the handstand regularly, so


that you become comfortable and confident with the
movement. Remember to stay relaxed and keep your
movements slow and controlled to prevent injury.

Here is a handstand hold workout that you can use to improve


your handstand endurance and stability

1. Wall-assisted handstand hold: Place your hands on the


ground near a wall and kick up into a handstand position,
with your feet touching the wall for support. Hold the
handstand for 10-30 seconds and then come back down.
Repeat for 3-5 sets.
2. Freestanding handstand hold: Start by practicing your
handstand kick up away from the wall. Once you have kicked
up, hold the handstand position for as long as you can. Aim
to increase the duration of the hold each time you practice.
3. Handstand hold with shoulder touches: From a handstand
position, lower one shoulder to the ground and then raise it
back up. Repeat on the other side. Continue to alternate
sides for 10-15 repetitions.
4. Handstand hold with leg raises: From a handstand position,
raise one leg up towards the ceiling and then lower it back
down. Repeat on the other side. Continue to alternate sides
for 10-15 repetitions.
5. Dynamic handstand hold: Start in a handstand position and
then pulse your legs up and down while maintaining your
balance. Repeat for 10-15 repetitions.

Here are some of the most common handstand mistakes and


tips on how to avoid them

1. Incorrect hand placement: Your hands should be placed


shoulder-width apart with your fingers spread wide to create
a stable base. Placing your hands too close together can
cause instability and make it harder to balance.
2. Not engaging your core: Handstands require a strong core to
maintain stability. Make sure to engage your abs, glutes, and
lower back to keep your body in a straight line.
3. Lack of shoulder flexibility: Tight shoulders can limit your
range of motion and make it difficult to maintain good form.
Incorporating shoulder stretches into your warm-up routine
can help to improve your shoulder flexibility.
4. Poor alignment: Handstands require good alignment, with
your body in a straight line from head to heels. If you're
bending at the hips or rounding your lower back, you may
need to work on your balance and core strength.
5. Over-kicking: Over-kicking, or kicking too hard or too fast, can
cause you to lose your balance and make it harder to control
your movements. Practice kicking gently and slowly to build
control and balance.
