Hello and thank you for your lovely words. If you want to build more strength, I recommend the couch to handstand course ruclips.net/p/PLm0dGAeCgU5VLKtFJ8sw6ETzPPhSeuVzh What are handstand toe taps? :)
@@NatalieReckert thank you so much for your reply...I will try them for sure... Handstand toe taps are "from handstand position we lower the feet slowly with control and instead of landing on the floor you tap them on your wrists.."
Hello Natalie, first of all thanks for your sharing, can you make a tutorial about hip exercises for press handstand? Thanks yo very much. Your so beautiful ❤️🍀🙏🏼
If you're falling back, the problem most probably is that your lower back is hollow and head and chest are held forward. In other words you're entering it in a backbend already, and your entire torso is not stiff enough. Possibly your muscles are exhausted from trying too much and need a couple days rest to begin with. When you exhaust your core, entire movement chains change making you flabby. And it's easy to exhaust your core with handstands as a beginner. It could be also a flexibility issue (which can be checked by standing upright with entire back/butt/head touching the wall with shoulders stretched upward). 2 months is nothing. It took me 2+ years to hold an unsupported handstand for just several seconds.
@@clray123 thansk! But I dont Think its bcz exhausted. Im pretty athletic before i started handstanding and skills. Befote i started i already had a strong core and i could do 90+ pushups
@@clray123 But when you lektion lower back. I have seen alot of videos there i need to have a strsight back. Look beetween fingers. Push troguh shoulders. And how to use chest when falling back.
@@clray123 woah... But Maybe y dident know What u was doing and u was completed beginner Thats why. Me and my friend started doing handstand I started 1 week after. And for about 1 month ago they could hold it 6+ second freestanding now they can even do press to handstand. Haha Thats alot to read. To u have Instagram or smt to send u my Proggressions or?
Doing pushups or situps/crunches is not necessarily indicative of having a strong core (I could do heaps of them before I started handstands as well). You need to have both strong front and back muscles in order to keep your whole torso including hips rigid. And probably also some internal muscles (like pelvic floor) to keep everything together. There should be a "squeezing into center" and lifting sensation while you are entering, not a dead weight hips flopping over with momentum sensation. The focus should be on the hips and upper body only, not on reaching anything with legs or feet. Try keeping your whole legs pressing together, though, it's more difficult with legs apart. Another thing you may want to try is pressing (like your friend), however since the actual press-to-handstand movement depends very much on flexibility (deep forward bends), you may wish to start with pressing with legs supported on a gym ball (or something else). This press also creates that precious squeezing sensation. Leg raises from headstand do that as well (but watch your neck with headstands, easy to hurt yourself). (And I don't have Instagram.)
This is Wild!!! GREAT JOB 👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽

@@beauty1774 Ah, you do that in Yoga right? It is quite hard, I was surprised to come across it in a Yoga class.
Wow 🙏
