Handstand Push-up with Feet on Box to Target

Cues:

• Set up with tops of feet on box/support

• Hips should stack above hands and shoulders in top position

• A taller box can help if you have limited flexibility, but sufficient strength

• Shift forward first then down towards target

• Push straight up then drive shoulders back into alignment as you complete the press

• Elbows stay inside

• Turning hands out slightly can help with keeping elbows in

• Keep core hollow throughout range of motion

Mistakes:

• Flaring elbows to outside

• Allowing back to arch and create an incline push-up

• Working with bottom of feet on box/support

• Failing to stack the hips
