Plyometric Handstand

Work with a partner, who will need to hold your legs around your ankles or support your legs at the knee, in order to keep your body and legs straight throughout the movement.

With your hands firmly on the floor, ideally on a thick exercise mat to protect your wrists and shoulders, explode yourself upwards, lifting both hands up and out to your sides, aiming for minimum bend in the arms as you land.

Dependant upon your fitness level, you may decide to immediately explode upwards and inwards, or alternately rest for a few seconds 5 - 15 prior to repeating this movement again.

As this is obviuosly a very difficult exercise, you may decide to work in a right angle position, keeping your body vertical and your legs parallel to the floor.
