How to do a Handstand Wall Scissors (Back Facing)
Place your hands on the floor and kick your feet up on a wall. Bring your head between your arms and keep your body long and stiff. For beginners to this exercise try keeping your hands closer to 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 and return your other leg to the wall. As you get more control of this movement slow down the speed of your leg switches. Alternate side and repeat this movement for the set number of Reps.
