How to perform it
Find a wall and face away from it, standing a few feet away. Place your hands on the ground shoulder-width apart and kick your feet up against the wall, coming into a handstand position. Bend your elbows and lower your head towards the ground, keeping your body in a straight line. Push through your hands and extend your arms to return to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
