One Arm Handstand

How To

Starting in a straddle is the best way to train the one arm, it helps distribute your weight so you can move to one arm slowly. Gently tilt your hips to one side until you feel most of your weight shift over to one hand.

If this is too hard, perform it facing the wall (straddle position). You will start shifting your weight on the left shoulder, pressing with your palms down. Then start going on the tip of your fingers with the right hand as you shift your weight more to the left until you can find that counterbalance where you can remove your right arm slowly.

Tips

Improve your balance

Balancing in a one-arm handstand requires a lot of practice and patience. Practice balancing on one hand with your other arm extended out to the side, and gradually work towards lifting that arm up off the ground.

Engage your core

Engaging your core is essential for maintaining balance and control in a one-arm handstand. Focus on drawing your navel towards your spine and keeping your abdominal muscles engaged throughout the exercise.

Experiment with hand placement

Depending on your body type and flexibility, you may find that different hand placements work better for you. Experiment with placing your hand closer or further away from your body, and try turning your fingers in different directions to find the placement that feels most comfortable and effective for you.

Focus on your breath

Your breath can help you stay focused and calm during one-arm handstand exercises. Take slow, deep breaths as you work towards lifting your arm off the ground.
