How to do a Handstand Scissor Kicks (Middle Pause)
Place your hands on the floor and your feet on a wall. Bring your head between your arms and keep your body long and stiff. For beginners to this exercise try walking your hands to be roughly half a meter away from the wall. As you start to feel more confident with this exercise place your hands further away from the wall. Start with both feet on the wall and position yourself into a stacked handstand posture. Pull one leg off the wall and behind your body making sure to keep your lower abs tight and your lower back flat. Squeeze your lower abs super tight and feel as your weight shifts more into your fingers, as this happens you will feel the weight of your foot still on the wall lighten. When this happens pull that leg away from the wall. Next meet both legs in the middle for a momentary handstand pause, hold this pause for as long as you feel comfortable. Finally, return your other leg to the wall and get back your scissor handstand posture. Alternate sides and repeat this movement for the set number of Reps.
