This is the first video in my handstand series and it teaches how to frogstand. The frog stand is the most basic hand balancing exercise. It builds a great foundation of strength and stability in your wrists, forearms, shoulders and upper back, while simultaneously teaching you how to balance on your hands.

If you're a beginner looking to learn how to handstand, the frogstand is where to start. It's a great introduction to hand balancing. I hope the video is helpful for you.

Guys please don't give up!! When I first started I fell on my face every single time but I would attempt it 5 or 6 times through out the day and now I can hold it for around 6 to 7 seconds. I know it's not incredible but I'm so happy with my progress!

Day 23 of quarantine: I swear I’m gonna come out of this with a bunch of new skills

This is a great tutorial. At 62, I'm determined to do a handstand. A couple of years ago I mastered 1 armed pushups, but they are nothing compared to the skills and strength you need for a handstand.

You are such a clear teacher. I tried to learn this a week ago through another video and was discouraged due to lack of details but this video cleared a lot up for me (: thank u

[buzzybee]

This hurts my arms where my knees are digging in to my triceps

[soorajchandran]

I have been doing a lot of handstand research, and this is one of the best I've found so far. Wish you get a lot more subscribers soon! Thanks.

At this point, I’ve kissed the floor more than I kiss my mom

[nitinbhardwaj]

I followed your instructions and practiced for a month and now i can hold myself into that position for more than 20 seconds.
Thank you so much for your advice😊😊😊

[Daleymop]

Grateful for the pillow tip! A mighty faceplant it was! I've been using your videos for fitness inspiration for a few years now, love how achievable, attainable, and accessible you make things. I've recommended your channel to a few good friends starting their fitness journeys

[Ultschik]

Yesterday I could balance it the first time for about 5 seconds. It works! I like your logo and logo animation!

[paulmunro]

Finally a step-by-step instruction set with all the safety points built in. Thanks and well done.

First step to use to build the foundation of handstands
0:30 Frog Stand. Knees are tucked up and resting on your elbows. Exercise is great to build strength in wrist, forearms, shoulders and upper back muscles around your shoulder blades, which will translate well later on in the handstand.
0:57 Use a Pillow in front of your face.
1:30 Frog Stand Form. Get into a squat position. Dig knees into the back of your upper arms. Lean forward so the weight shifts to your hands and your heels are off the floor and on your tippy toes. As a beginner, the hardest thing will be to maintain balance.
3:02 Don’t rush, it takes practice. Once you can hold it for 20 to 30 secs then you can go onto the next step which is the Tripod Headstand. It gives you the perfect stability to focus on core and legs.
3:50 Tip 1: Don’t Skip Warm-up. Do forward and backward facing wrist extension and wrist flexion with the backs of the hand.
4:22 Tip 2: Go In and Out of Frog Stands for reps, which helps to build strength. Stabilise and hold position for a second and then come out of it again.
4:52 Tip 3 Frog Stand Press-Ups. Lower your face as close to the ground and then back up. Make sure your shoulder blades are moving apart and press back up.
5:08 Tip 4 Frog Stand with Leg Shifts. Lift one leg off the elbow and move it towards the other leg and repeat for other side.

So glad I watched this video. That pillow tip was definitely needed
