How to do the Handstand Hold
Place your hands on the floor shoulder-width apart, near a wall if you need support.
Kick up into a handstand or walk your feet up the wall.
Lock your elbows, push the floor away and keep your body straight with your abs tight.
Hold for your target time and come down under control.
