Q&A for How to Do a Handstand on the Wall

As many as you need to! However, you should stop if you start to feel especially dizzy or achy.

Yes, by all means! As long as you have some sort of soft padding to do your handstand on, you're fine.

It depends on how your back bends. Just give it a few tries and figure out what works.

You should put down a mat under where you'll be practicing, if you have one, or something else soft. Also, make sure you have a parent around, but first ask someone to spot you while going up on the wall.

You won't unless you are facing the wrong way. It is very easy to do, start off slowly and get comfortable with the way you do the handstand.

You can do planks, sit-ups, crunches, one-arm planks and so much more.

You're never too big to do a handstand or any other types of gymnastics! Doing gymnastics comes from believing that you can do it. However, if you wish to see it from a more practical point of view, try stretching your arms towards the top of the ceiling, because when you flip upside down it will be the same length. When you are in the handstand, make sure that you stay as close to the wall as possible.

There is always the risk of breaking your neck. Make sure you have someone near when you try this, even though the chances of it happening are slim.

You put your head on the ground if you want to keep your elbows bent, or off the ground between your arms if you keep your arms straight.

Keep practicing with a spotter. You'll be able to do it with practice.

Yes, it is possible, but it most likely will not happen, especially when you find your groove doing it.

Just move further away from the wall when youre doing it, and don't worry about hurting yourself.

It should be two times your width and around your same height. Make sure it's sturdy!

Practice doing warm- ups that you are comfortable with doing backwards, or practice jumping back onto a soft surface to get the feel of going backwards. Being scared is okay, but be sure to trust yourself when going backwards so you don't hurt yourself.

You can practice your balancing skills. Learning to balance on both hands will help you to not fall over when attempting the handstand with both hands.

Yes, of course you can do it with bare feet. Either way is fine.

Start walking your hands away from the wall. Your legs should slowly go down from the wall.

Walk your feet back down the wall or kick of into a front limber. If you feel scared that you might hurt yourself coming down from the wall have a spotter be their to hold your waist securely to keep you stable while coming down.
