What goes through your mind when you see someone perform a great Handstand?
If you’re like most of the people then you probably must have thought:
“Wow, what control!”
“What a display of strength and fitness.”
“That looks really cool.”
The handstand does not require great strength or big muscles. You will need a base level of strength, however; you need to be able to hold yourself upside-down, with your weight supported fully on your hands and shoulders.
Doing handstand is not only fun, it's a great form of exercise-plus it looks really impressive ;)
Before guiding you through to the process of handstand i would recommend you to watch the below video.
I never said its gonna be easy but yes it can be done.
The above video is directly proportional to our task what we are going learn today.
It requires great will power, focus and never say die attitude.
Now lets get started.
1.Find a good spot to do a handstand.
You'll need a place with lightly padded ground, since you'll be hitting the floor a few times before you're able to stand correctly on your hands.Great spots to do a handstand are on the sand at the beach, on gym mats at the gym, or in a carpeted room in your home.
2.Stretch your limbs and joints

3.Stand up straight with your feet comfortably apart.

This is your starting position. Your feet, knees, torso and head should all be aligned and completely vertical. Hold your arms comfortably at your side.
4.Kick with your dominant leg

Then As you kick fall into a lunge, your dominant leg bent and in front and your other leg straight, It shouldn't be very deep but should give you enough power to kick up. Make sure to kick and lunge straight forward, and not to one side or the other. Stepping to the side will cause your body to twist when you go into the handstand, making it much harder to balance.
5.Control. Control. You must learn control.
Try keeping your legs straight up in the air for a long duration.
6.Keep your arms straight as your hands approach the ground

If you are trying to look forward, you will lose your balance, it is best to look at your hand to create a center of balance.
7.Remember, you may not get it on the first try.
It may take you a few minutes or a few hours. But if you keep practicing you'll get it. Remember that you have to do it slowly or else you will collapse.
8.Success
Now that you have mastered it, Go show off in front of your friends and relatives :)
