Start by placing the FitBall under your shirt and your lower back while facing a wall. Place your hands on the ground and kick up to a handstand against the wall, using the ball as support. Once in the handstand position, slowly lower your feet towards the ground while maintaining control with the ball, then press back up into the handstand. This drill helps to build strength and control in the pressing motion of the handstand.
Using FitBall in this way can help prevent the head from getting stuck against the wall and causing the shoulders to lock, which can be a common issue when practicing handstands. Adjusting the amount of pressure on the ball can help control the intensity of the exercise, making it more accessible for beginners or more challenging for advanced practitioners.
