Locate a solid wall and place your hands on the ground six to ten inches out from it. Your hands-specifically the index fingers-should be touching. Kick up into a handstand with straight arms and a lightly curved body tapering back to where the heels make contact with the wall. Keeping the elbows well out in front, bend at the shoulders and elbows until the head gently kisses the floor. Pause briefly-under full control-before pressing back up to the start position.
