Got HANDSTAND Push-Ups?  MORE PRACTICE!

For many of our students, the Handstand Push-Up (HSPU) is an elusive exercise. First of all, the athlete must have a solid handstand before any progressions are attempted. Then we gradually increase the range of motion. The upper body must control this descent, slowly bringing the head towards the floor. It is an incremental process... inch by inch the head is lowered to the floor then pressed out returning to the locked-out position. I require each student to practice these three basic gymnastics movements, including the Handstand Push-Up, Kipping Pull-Up and Hollow Rock! One needs only a few minutes each day to refine their skills here... consistency is the key!

This shall serve as an invitation to all LALANNE FITNESS students (Beginner & Level 1) to show-up 5-10 minutes before class to PRACTICE these moves MORE often, then demonstrate performance for our coaching staff!

As for the Level 2 & 3 students, your focus should be on all of the above including Handstand Walking, the Muscle-Up and Front Lever!
