How to Do the Perfect Handstand (Complete Guide)

Want to master the handstand — the ultimate bodyweight skill for strength, balance, and control? You're in the right place.

Perfect Handstand Technique

The handstand is the ultimate bodyweight skill that builds incredible shoulder strength, core stability, and spatial awareness. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures every practice session builds maximum progress with perfect form.

Step-by-Step Form Guide

  1. Setup:Place hands shoulder-width apart, fingers spread wide
  2. Kick Up:Step one leg up while pushing other leg toward ceiling
  3. Align:Stack shoulders over wrists, engage hollow body position
  4. Balance:Use fingers to micro-adjust and maintain equilibrium
  5. Hold:Breathe steadily while maintaining active shoulder position

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Placing hands too close together or too wide
  • Allowing shoulders to sink or collapse
  • Arching the back instead of maintaining hollow position
  • Looking up instead of at hands (banana shape)
  • Not engaging core throughout the hold
