Hanging

Hanging from a bar is basically a hand stand upside down. Hanging will help you with alignment and also build up strength in your shoulders and arms. Proper alignment is one of the most important things for hand standing. When you do start holding a hand stand you want your body to be straight and all you bones stacked inline with each other.

Baby Kick Ups

These kick ups will help you support your weight in your hand with out having to go all the way upside down. This is a great exercise to build up the strength you need to hold yourself in a hand stand.
