This video is confused. Frog stand really will not help that much. It's a different set of muscles. You don't cover kicking up, tapping toes, pushing the ground away, balancing points on the hands...anything important really.
Meh Thanks for the message. We think the frogstand is a good way to get people comfortable balancing on their hands. It’s achievable and helps build confidence. That’s an important thing in learning to handstand. Also the other things you mention are covered in our handstand guides. This video just gives a few tips to practice and wasn’t designed to be an all inclusive tutorial. It sounds like you can already handstand so I hope your training is going well and your having fun with it. Tim
Soon to be 62 years young next month and want to learn how to do hand stands. Great information. I feel with your tips and coaching I can do this! Awsome job to you both. Your friend From Pittsburgh Pennsylvania .
Hey Charles, thanks for the support and feedback - glad you feel it's possible... our oldest student is now 72 and counting!!! - ruclips.net/video/cmqD43jrOn8/видео.html
Remember we have a two full handstand programmes inside the virtual classroom - check out the beginners handstand programme here - Jacko classroom.schoolofcalisthenics.com/course?courseid=handstand-beginners
Yes it gets addictive!!! Ha ha - we love it too. We also have a full week by week online programme you can follow if you want extra help? - Jacko classroom.schoolofcalisthenics.com/course/handstand
@@SchoolofCalisthenics thanks so much! I started my calisthenics journey the start of December and currently learning lots of things and filming all my progression for my channel. I think I will definitely need handstand advice. Its so tough trying to even balance off a Wall!
I don't know if you thought of this, but it may be possible to go from frog pose (with the yoga blocks in front of us) into a head or handstand. I've never tried it but in Vinyasa yoga, a movement from frog pose into a headstand and then back to frog pose is common. Your use of the blocks is a good prop! I've never seen it before. Thank you!!!!
Hi, yeah for sure, this was just one example but you can use the blocks in many ways to help give you some support an assistance to learn the transitions! Thanks for the message and for the support. We appreciate it. Tim
You guys are rock ...I m very passionate about learning handstand..after doing much pratice finally I did crow pose perfect now I m practices handstand
Awesome video. I was looking for tips to start to do handstand because is really hard, specially in the beginning. I don't have trust enough to do this exercise, besides the fear that I feel. But with these tips and others i will certainly learn to do this once and for all! lol
Awesome, glad you feel you can make a start at the handstand now! If you have any questions just ask. Just take it steady at the start and build confidence. Jacko
We've got a full handstand guide packed full of video coaching tutorials and educational information that you can get tow FREE chapters of here - schoolofcalisthenics.com/handstand-two-free-chapters/
These are great ones to get started for sure... we also have a full week by week online programme you can follow here - classroom.schoolofcalisthenics.com/course/handstand Any questions just ask - Jacko
Got frustrated trying to do the frog stand - couldn't even hold it more than a second. The balancing wasn't the issue for me I think I just didn't have the muscles. For anyone having trouble with this try starting with other shoulder and arm exercises. I started doing pike push ups daily and now I can hold the frog stand 5-10 seconds.
Thank you so much for the informative, well-made video! I have been doing wall kick-ups for a while, and can balance against the wall for quite a while. I am unable to take my feet off of the wall though - I always fall. Any tips on how to progress from that point? A few seconds of handstand would be so motivating at this point.
Hey. Make sure to also practice with your body facing the wall - rather than kicking up. This way, you will get a feel for both forward and backward movement in the handstand. Harvey.
Have you got a copy of our handstand eBook? There are loads of video tutorials and helpful information that will show you exactly what to do... schoolofcalisthenics.com/product/the-handstand/ Hope it helps Tim
I hold the frog stand for about two minutes. And if your head hits the floor it is not a big deal. I am scared to kick up but the wall walkup is easy... until my 10 pushup or shoulder tap.
School of Calisthenics ah nice, I just thought her accent was a little more Kiwi than Auzzie ;) I’m a Kiwi-Brit myself ... Thanks and I’d better get back on the handstands now ;)
hahaha just came here as my housemates have told me i need to learn to handstand (dont ask why), didnt know you did youtube videos lani! ahaha what the hell, awesome.
Karine Lima, do also watch , if u prefer, a quest for new life - Three Genius | Triguna | Svyasa International yoga film |2017| /Q3gohvCjDn4 .......only on youtube!!
Thanks for the message. It really depends on what you want to do. Some people want to focus on more static handstand variations or you can look at the strength approach and learn handstand push ups. The options are endless as there is so much in hand balancing to play with. The time you need to hold for and the reps and sets also depend on what you want to achieve?
Hey Stuart! First general tip would be to find a progression within your current ability, and practice getting strong in that position. That may be just starting with the frogstand. We have seen many people - who fit your description - learn the frogstand and handstand hold, without shedding any weight. These feel difficult for the majority when they first begin. So I'd love to encourage you to dive into some regular practice, and watch your progress over a month/2 months of regular practice. A second tip, would be to use exercises like the Pike Push Up to develop Strength in Overhead pushing. We have a video released recently that should help with that! Check out: ruclips.net/video/rTIiqtGu4bA/видео.html Hope this helps, and gives you some encouragement! All the best! Seth
Ideally on the top of triceps but when you start out as a beginner find a place that feel comfortable as possible for you and progress towards having higher on triceps. Hope that helps - Jacko
School of Calisthenics as a beginner, I find placing knees on the back of triceps is rubbing the skin , that makes me uncomfortable, any good way to ease of this? Tks
This may sound like a daft question but is it perfectly doable to do a handstand if I am slightly fat/overweight. I'm not slim nor have a six pack but I am able to do a good set of 6-8 chin ups no problem as well as other body weight exercises such as dips and press ups. Or do I need to have a slim figure?
Great video thanks ! When I work on the wall and go upside down, I feel like my eyes will POP out. I hate that pressure feeling. What can I do about it ? Thanks.
Could being heavy(5’7, 175lb) have a problem with doing a handstand? I could do a headstand with a mat on the floor (the frog technique) but I can’t push myself up to do handstand.
i could never learn it with the wall.they scared me. i learnt without the wall. i used the sisore tequnic to get it.. been doing handstands for 15 years +
Sir if someone have uneven shoulders so is it be the problem in doing handstand????because I can headstand too easily with many variations but can't do a handstand....
Hey! So in terms of reps in sets, the quirky answer is - it depends. Depending on current strength levels, training regimen and much more, reps to improve is going to change. However, holding a frogstand and it's variations are isometric exercises. When training to develop isometric strength we want to aim for around 1 minute of Time Under Tension in a single session to create a strength adaptation. An example could be, 6 sets of 10 second holds in a Frogstand variation that is fairly difficult for you. As you get stronger, this will change, and you'll have to progress the variation you are doing. But on a RPE (Rate of perceived exertion) scale - Or the "how dang hard it feels" scale - this should be around an 7 or 8/10. In terms of training this daily - again it depends on lifestyle, training regimen etc. For some, doing little and often, on a daily basis works well. For others it's more time efficient and effective to keep this work in a full Handstand session, which includes hand balancing work, along with some strength work. In general, regular practice - maybe twice a week is a good starting point - in a week, over a long period of time will yield results. Consistency is key. Hope this helps, Seth
School of Calisthenics lol the first part haha depends 😄. But thanks for actually explaining and I will definitely be working on this. Thank you for replying, I’ve hurt my self 3 times already doing the frog stand but I’m determined to get this. New subscriber excited to begin this journey.

Her shoulders are 1000 times better than mine
last time I tried this I fell on my face and hurt my chin pretty bad.. now I am afraid to try it again...
any tips?
Convert your fear into anger and then try again full force
Have someone spot you
don't fall.
Use a mat, or matress.
Try the exercise where you walk up the wall and just go up as long as you feel comfortable. Then slowly walk further and try to overcome your fear
