Handstands have fascinated people for centuries. They are not only a stunning display of strength and balance but also offer numerous physical and mental benefits. In this blog, we’ll explore the ins and outs of handstand training, why it’s worth pursuing, and how to safely introduce your clients to this incredible skill.

What is Handstand Training?
Handstand training involves the practice of balancing on your hands, which requires a combination of strength, flexibility, and balance. It encompasses various techniques and drills designed to help individuals learn to support their body weight on their hands, eventually leading to a stable handstand.
Why Participate in Hand Balancing?
Engaging in hand balancing can significantly improve overall fitness by building upper body and core strength. It also enhances body awareness, promotes better posture, and increases flexibility. Beyond the physical realm, many find that mastering the handstand boosts confidence and focus, making it a fulfilling endeavour.

Fitness Industry Relativity
In the fitness industry, hand balancing is often overlooked. However, it can be incorporated into various training programs to add variety and challenge. As coaches and trainers, understanding and teaching these skills can set you apart and provide your clients with unique fitness experiences.
Safety in Handstand Training
Safety should always be a priority in handstand training. Begin with a solid base of upper body strength and core stability to minimise the risk of injury. Always warm up properly and consider practising against a wall or with a spotter. Encourage clients to listen to their bodies and progress at their own pace.
