I’ve been doing this 2/3 times a week for the last 2 months. I can now stay up on wall the whole 30 seconds and can also do a handstand freely and stay up for like a second or two! It’s been great!
Just had a go at this workout. Thank you! I'm going to work on handstands. I know it will be slow progress but I am at a stage where my upper body is stronger than it's ever been so this is something I can work towards! 🙂
Thanks for putting this together, Lucy! I’ve been looking for a good beginners handstand video and they’re surprisingly hard to find. The progressions are great and, as an athlete, it’s nice to get back to simple exercises, especially since my wrist mobility is almost nonexistent. You have a new subscriber!
TH-cam has been watching me. I’m learning to do handstand. I was actually practicing on my own this morning and this video shows up on on my feed. Thank you for the tips, Lucy. Great video. I’m gonna follow this! By the way, can you also please make a video on how to do a kick up to handstand as well?
I really love your workouts! You manage to make them so encouraging and motivating.I have been working on my handstands for 2 months now and I can already see results. Thank you for supporting me on my journey :)
Thank you so much! I wanted to get back to my handstand practice after 10 months of sensitive/weak wrists, this was a really good routine. Will do that for the next few weeks
I’ve been wanting to do handstands for years now but still not able to do it. Your video is giving me a good foundation for building this up. Thank you so much
Wow that was so good! The rounds gradually getting harder was a great way to build up confidence! I never thought a handstand would be possible for me but I now have hope😄😄😄. Thanks Lucy!
I love the routine and the idea of three difficulties! I would just find it easier to follow along if you would first explain/show the drill and then start the timer...otherwise the timer is halfway over when i can start to do it. That makes me a litte stressed during the workout. But anyways a really great handstand routine!
Hey Lucy! This workout was great and I’ve been loving all the workouts on the app too💪🏼 I would love to see a video about what you do on rest days! Curious about things like foods and healthy habits that aid in muscle recovery or prevent injury. Thank you for all of the great content and for helping me get back into shape! ❤️
Thanks for share this great content!!. You are a motivation for us and for the new generations that are starting training in a natural an healthy way. You looks amazing and You are so beautiful!. Grettings from México 🇲🇽🇲🇽🎉🎉
I would like to learn handstands but I'm afraid it will be too hard since I'm quite heavy... Does anyone have any experience doing handstands while being overweight? I go to the gym 2-3 times a week and focus on strenght training, so I am slowly but surely building some muscle. However I wonder if that will be enough to support my bodyweight...
Im not sure how immobile they are and if this would be a functional adaptation for you - but perhaps you could try it on low bars? This way you don't have to bend your wrist back and you can practice with your wrists stacked neutrally above(or below I guess!) your forearm?
You just gotta take enough time to warm up your wrists. I‘m doing calisthenics for almost two years and each and every time before the workout my wrists feel super tight. It usually takes me 10 min to 15 min of pure wrist warm up to feel ready for planks, Chaturangas and so on. Try to start with moving back and forth very slowly while being on your knees (as she showed in the video) and extend the range of that movement progressively. To this, until you are at the point where it feels okay to move your shoulders over your wrists. Then, you can continue by doing circular movement (with hands pointing forwards as well as sideways) as shown in the video. What also helps my warm up is to hold my wrist with one hand while slowly circling the other hand. Just give it a try. I‘m sure if you give it sufficient time, you wrists will feel much more mobile. But I also gotta say that this workout doesn‘t seem proper for a total beginner. On one side it might be „too easy“ to build up shoulder strength and on the other side the exercises on the chair/wall can feel very intimidating/scary for a beginner and for these you should already be able to do proper shoulder shrugs in a simple plank position. I would suggest, starting with a wider range of plank variations (side planks, forearm planks and so on) to build up a solid foundation.

I am beginner and a handstand seems like rocket-science but this vid was very encouraging...will definitely try this workout
hey! got any progress?
Calisthenics is the maximum of strength and power expressed in bodyweight, I started my journey with Caliwer and I am achieving amazing results

my wrists are completely immobile, breaks my tiny hart I can't do this.
