AHAHAH
This has been my dream my entire childhood. After watching this video i finally did it!!! Thankyou so much!
Julie Falkenberg Dreyer So happy to hear that!!!! CELEBRATION TIME
@@GinaScarangella Love ur video and pls what is the name of the intro song?
Good job
I love your tips I practice it daily Thank you
yes Julie, and then you woke up
1)Put hands under shoulders
2) press shoulders against the wall (this puts your body in the right rounded out position)i.e. not banana
3) make sure you have a decent straddle split
4) roll hips up to handstand while pressing shoulders against the wall
5) press lower back into wall
6) roll hips back down, touch toes lightly to ground & press back up.
This builds your strength in your fingers & wrists which is essential, to balance.
You want to stretch your wrists well before practicing presses.
* the reason press handstand's are so difficult for her is because she's overly relying on arm strength, & it's a beautiful press handstand & perfectly executed, with good form; but not everyone possesses that upper body strength.
* I'm a former Elite gymnast/Coach & my 8 yr olds learn their presses against the wall & they are tiny.
It's a strength to weight ratio skill, like all gymnastics.
The key is your fingers control the balance. Tight butt & lower back against the wall head down keeps your body in alignment (as she shows) & focus on your fingers which are the only thing that can control your balance once you hit the handstand. Your wrists will bend& help in the transition to handstand.
You learn this quickly on beam & bars.
It's easy & learned by young children early in gymnastics.
Massive upper body strength doesn't come into play until you start from a seated straddle position on the floor, & no matter your level of flexibility it's a strength move. (I hated those).
From the feet position it's mostly in the fingers & best learned against the wall in my experience, which is strictly gymnastics.
When you get the strength in your fingers & balance, do it away from the wall.
If you lose your balance & fall backwards, tuck your head & roll out. Make sure you aren't on a hard floor.❤✌
as a gym coach, I think this is an awesome video - lots of great drills / progressions with focus on safety, strength and quality improvement of the skill. nice work!
Most important tip is.... Patience!
Janitor approved.
"Girl, hurry up! I closed down this area just so you could make your video. And you better mention me in the credits."
Lol he loved it apparently
I love that janitor!
Also my eyes approved.
nah girl im just changin the channel thats all
Thanks for the video. I been doing bodyweight exercises like this and loving it.
May the strength and balance come to us all ✌
i just found this and whoa,even after taking a circus handstand class, these tips, especially the notes on position, are really helpful!
So i was never able to do my press handstand, but after watching your video i had to try it again and after 5 minutes of practicing i was able to do it lol so thank you very much for this great video and those tricks
Youre name is german
Chocolate Cookie Great deduction Sherlock :D
me too ive never done it and after this video with magic i could !
Yasssss sameeeee

It is SO helpful when you show you not doing a technique (e.g. compression) and then doing it. Most people only demonstrate the technique and not the lack of technique, and it makes a big difference to my ability to see what you're actually doing when you compare the two. Great video - thank you!
Susan Jean Thank you so much!!! Yes I find that super helpful too. I also find it helpful to film my attempts so I know what to correct when I’m working new skills
I love the last one, the puppy press! I've never tried that before. I feel like I'm so close but don't know what the final push is. This definitely helps, thank you so much!
Omg tysm this was so helpful bc you actually went through every step of the press handstand!! thank you!!
This video is so helpful! Thank you so much for so many practical tips... everything you said made sense and for those like me, trying handstands for the first time, your hints are absolutely on point.
That was excellent Gina! Make more
I love this video so much! I've seen many tutorials and tipps&tricks on the road to my press handstand but I feel you're the first that gives me the tipps I didn't already know but could be game changing!
Omg. You’re so strong and fit 💪 I just recently started taking exercise seriously, so these kinds of videos are super helpful and inspiring. You explained every step with perfect detail, which is great for someone like me who is spatially challenged when it comes to handstands and needs to see a lot of examples lol. Thank you 😄
WOW Gina. I think this may be the best press handstand video ever. Congrats. Your form demos are right on target, along with your tips and drills. Your sense of humor makes this 100% relatable and so memorable. And... as your lovestruck fan in the background noticed - it doesn't hurt that you're very nice to look at lol 💕 Thank you and please make more. If real world instruction ever becomes a thing again, I hope you'll post your schedule.
I'm soooooo going to be doing this the entire day! Thaaaank you, you're doing a great job 💥
Thank you! These drills and stretches are really effective and worth it! You are very good at explaining how to do this and more, thanks!
This is crazy inspiring! I appreciate you saying that even you have trouble. It makes it seem more achievable. ❤
Great tips Gina, thank you. I've been trying for about a year now. When you mentioned keeping a hollow body while going into handstand position, I'll be drilling that. Thanks :-)
ME:
oh I can try that!
ME:woke up in hospital
Lena Schoendorf 🙈😂
Lol
general bunny Lolz 😂
lol, you're so funny
😂😂😂
Ive been SCOWERING youtube and the internet in general for drills and tips and tricks and I have finally after DAYS found this video and omg it is EXACTLY what I needed. Someone thorough and explaining for all levels thank you!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing! Super easy to follow and practice tips and drills! Stoked to report that I got my easiest, smoothest and quickest press handstand on the first time I watched this video! Keep it up!
This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for! I used to be a gymnast but could NEVER get a press and I’ve been trying for months. I’ll try these and hopefully get my press! Love your vids 💛
Thank you so much!!! You will get it, it just takes time! Best of luck
did you get it??!!!
@@doratheexplorer2785 we'll never know I guess 😭
This has got to be one of the best tutorial and progression videos on this topic, mixed in with some of Ginas dry humour and a little self depriciation.
I personally loved your intro and the drill, keep rocking it! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
especially the baby handstand - great Inspiration! thanks a lot !
The best handstand tips video I ever seen ;) thank you
Well, didn't come here for handstanding but now I'm trying 👍
Plataani nice.
😂😂🤣
Go And watch my daughter's practice video

I can do wall walks but not go from the floor to a full handstand. Your instructions are a solid start for this process. Thank you.
Thumbs up for the honesty.
Thanks Gina scaran for the tips i was trying & is no easy i'll keep trying with your tutos kee un touch and i Will be watching to wrow up ,hugs
OMG I JUST DID A PRESS HANDSTAND!!!! THIS IS SOOOOO GOOD THANX SO MUCH FOR THESE TIPS YASSSSSS😆😁
But I can only do it on the wall ☹️
4 years now. Handstands everyday. Now watching this video again. I understand everything . Good drills. Great tips. I was too busy looking at you and not listening to you. I've matured now. Good job with this video on press to hand
Thanks for the tips they really help. There are so many tutorials out there it's nice to hear a couple new tips
This is a really good video and super helpful to demonstrate the progressions that people should work on to achieve their press handstand. great content! :)
Roy Yamada Thanks so much! Means a lot to me haha
Body goals!❤️
This was much more enjoyable than I thought it was going to be. Thankyou for making it.
Thanks for another brilliant tutorial, always very helpful. I've been watching so many of these tutorials but don't have the room or the confidence to do those moves on a hard floor so next time I'm in gymnastics I'll be trying these.
Amazing tips!!! I’ll try them ☺️☺️
What an amazing video!!!! lots of great fun tips!
Did anyone else notice the janitor trying to check her out xD That was the funniest
-Much Love
Lol I was wondering if I was the only one who saw this. I imagined him thinking, "Come on, girl, hurry up. I've got work to do." 😂

@@Sunshine-nb5qy yeah i'm not sure that's what he had in mind.. looking at the ceiling like nothing's going on... yeah right lmao
Go And watch my daughter's practice video
th-cam.com/video/uHO2mK9oiQw/w-d-xo.html
Finally an who keeps it real about how hard handstands are. I've also be trying for ever
Thank you thank you for these drills I love them so much and I am now a Lot closer to my press handstand thanks to you! Thanks
Your makeup looks so good 😍 and you’re the handstand queen 🔥
tiffff_t Haha thank you!!! Love some good makeup
Really great tips! I especially like the drill done from the floor with the hands on the wall to really give the feeling of the full range of motion of the legs and hips even for people who don't have the arm strength yet. I also really liked how clear your postural "do" and "don't" cues are. I have nowhere near your strength or flexibility, but I can do a jump handstand from down-dog. The one tip I have that isn't in your video (or maybe it is and I didn't hear it) is the concept of "push down to go up." I start from soft elbows and as I exhale and firm the core, I emphasize pressing the hands down into the floor; that makes the legs go up with much less effort. Again, I'm working from a jump rather than a press because I don't have your flexibility or strength, but I wonder if it might also be useful in the context of a press and would be interested to hear what you think. Great channel. I subscribed.
Yes! I do love that tip and it would have been great to include! I'm sad I didn't think of it at the time. I talk a little bit about pushing tall in my handstand tutorial but you are 100% right. It is a huge part of the press! Thanks so much for the comment and for watching this video! I will definitely have to add that to my future videos!
Brilliant work!
Excellent tips that I will be using to get to a press handstand by the end of the year. Thanks!
I think these are really accessible for me at my current level. I believe the hollow body/round back tip is the most helpful also the tip about starting with feet closer together in order to stack the hips. I can’t wait to do this tonight! Especially that first exercise🔥🙀
mzfitz007 Thank you so much!!!! Best of luck practicing!
Slight problem, I can’t touch my toes
work work work work work 🎵🎶🎵
You no touchy toes you no getty pressy handstandy
Hah,you need to man
I can nearly reach my knees after 6 months, so that proves you should never give up, bro.

So grateful for your video. Thank you so much. 🙏
Gina, this video is great. Thanks!
Love the beginning drills!! Great content best one I have found yet! Gonna get training now hehehe thanks xx
EazzyFit Thank you so much!!!
@@GinaScarangellanononononon thaaaank you 😋
I loved it, I instantly got my press hand stand after five minutes of watching your video. Keep on making these types of videos, I love them.
Great drills thank you Gina😊
This video helped me the most to get my press handstand. It took me 2 years but the work was worth it
Nice! 👏How many times at week did you practice these exercises to get it?
@@lauraalvarez262 at first i only practiced once a week but i didn't see any improvement. For about half a year i practice daily and now I've got it
When you do the drill off the floor standing, without the wall- imagine a string is attached to your tail bone and is being pulled up to the ceiling. Might help 🌸
Thanks for the tip. I reallly want to do this problem is....i lost a good amount of my flexibility and im weak. But just gotta keep working on it!
i'm going to imagine all of that and still into a heap on the floor, lord help me.
Thanks a lot
Yoga 🧘♀️ ball exercise helped so
Much 😁😀
Awesome Gina!
So many years and somehow I got on that video in recommended. Still dont know how come :D Thaank you. Tips are very good!
I'm trying to learn this movement at the moment so I've watched quite a few videos and this is by far the most informative (and funny).
I'll be hitting these drills tomorrow and checking out the rest of your channel...awesome!
Lee Reason Awesome!!! So glad to hear it thanks so much for the comment!
I agree. It looks so helpful. Other videos don’t help as much
Good luck lee
...so how long did it take u to get it??
@@doratheexplorer2785 x2
Muy buenas progresiones para la invertida olímpica, corrección postural (gainage), buen aporte.
You’re so spunky! Love it, thanks for making this!
Awesome work Gina
4:28
Janitor: Hot damn
Gina : Imma put it in the video
I should start exercising right now.
This video was awesome and gives me hope! Thank you!
Great tips, thank you. Will be shooting a video with some handstand exercises and will definitely use some of yours!
that Janitor is becoming a youtube fan, cant concentrate on my job anymore lol
3:35 such the nice exercise))
Can’t wait to try!!
I love this thank you. It is really helpful. I won’t lie though when I practice this I feel so ugh. Because of the strength I still need to build. Thank you for this guidance. It was much needed.
I came here to perv but am actually impressed on how you gave such intricate details on form which is very important. I've attempted these off and on over the years and they are not ez. Thumbs up
XDDD '' I came here to perv''
🍑🤗🔥💣💥🍻🐴🕵️♀️
Since 04:08 I started to wonder what this guy in the mirror gonna do and in stead of watching Gina I was watching him 😂 (photobomber)

Excellent tips! 👍🏾
Amazing, keep up the inspiration! You make it look so easy! Pure skill.
Great Vid!! Especially the tips about flexibility. Thank you.
Desde Chile cariño! TEAMO

I love your honesty!! It's refreshing!! 😊👍👍 Thanks I'll try the ones I can manage to do a little bit! Lol!
Thanks for sharing your passion. 👍
this is great! once you’ve accomplished this version the next step is from a straddle sit, which is very difficult and what gymnastics use to condition. Good luck!
Very good instruction I love the way you emphasized getting the thighs into the core I adore the puppy press and I felt the lift when I did it and I think this is really going to help me thank you so much
Hat progression with the medicine ball is very helpful. Thanks for the tips!!
Excellent just what I needed video, started doing hand stands just to prove to myself I can. Your video/videos will help me forward in achieving more. Really there not easy but practised makes perfect. Thanks
So flexible....
Hi!! i have been practicing them and i have improved a lot. I am able to do it against the wall now :D i wanted to ask you which would be my next step, because right now i feel a little bit figthening doing it without wall. Thanks!!
Blanca García we have the same condition✌🏻️
Blanca García Hi!!! Make sure your free standing handstand is solid before attempting without the wall. If you want to continue practicing drills I would do the small lift from straddle without the wall. That drill should really help build even more shoulder strength so that eventually the rest will be easy!
Gina Scarangella thank you very much for your help! I’m improving a lot. Love your videos ☺️☺️
Thank you, these are the best ones.
oh my goodness this is the greatest handstand press tutorial ever! This actually just unlocked it for me, thanks so much!
Hi Gina! Could you do a video about how to hold a handstand longer? I can do a handstand even without the wall but I can't seem to hold it for very long 😐 Thank you! Love your content btw
About to post one!
try working some progressions to help strengthen your shoulders, arms, and core. You can look into things like elevated A frame, and also just working your wall handstands and holding them longer. hope this helps :)
HOW TO MASTER HANDSTAND
th-cam.com/video/eMkghPcQ0ak/w-d-xo.html
It can be risk for beginners, for me it is a challenge!
Believe in yourself, keep trainning hard, get over the fear...
You can do whatever you want
Practice
I'm from Germany and i can't englisch very good but i like this video and it was the only one which had useful tips for me.
One Question😂: how long did it take you to do the handstand?
And with what age did you start? 💖
Thanks for the helpful video and best regards from bavaria 💖
So glad you liked it!!! It took me a long time to learn a handstand when I first learned one. I did gymnastics at the age of 6 until about 16!
also from germany... and you talk very clearly so i was able to understand every word xD .. i‘m just not able to get my belly anywhere near the floor when i‘m sitting on the ground with straight legs 😂 it feels like something is tearing apart in my thighs ^^
@@Charlie_Waffles I'm dying of laughter 😂 Stretch every day!
Samantha R you‘re welcome 😂 ... if i push my body to that special point it hurts.. dunno if its tendons, ligaments or both xD .. but yea stretching will help i guess :D
@@Charlie_Waffles I think it's tendons! (Tissue that attaches bone to muscle). I'm studying to become a personal trainer. So I'm no expert, just very interested and practicing fitness daily.
But there's a function of your tendons that prevents injury by sending pain signals when you introduce some new stretch or stretch your muscle beyond its regularly used range.
If you feel that pain while stretching, use something firm (like a foam roller) to gently apply pressure to the exact origin of the pain for 30 seconds. That's the amount of time it takes for the tendon to release and allow more ease of stretching. 😁
I read about this technique and tried it today at the gym and it was incredible. With the foam roller, I made more progress on my splits today than I had over the last 3 days.
Hi im Kanen from Mauritius.you explain and perform it so clearly and beautifully.Thanks for sharing
Wonderful tips!
Very in depth and useful video! Do you have a stretching routine to make sure you mantain/improve your flexibility? I struggle with it and i would love to know if there’s certain exercises I should be doing. Thanks a lot🧡
Ana V Yes! I plan to film one soon!
