That is probably because kids love to move their bodies around in every direction possible and love to look at the world from different perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>Adults seem to have forgotten just how much fun (and how useful) a handstand can be!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Switching back from being a stiff adult to a flexible kid isn\u2019t easy! The best way to start is to slowly work your way up to a full handstand. Holding a full handstand doesn\u2019t have to be your goal. Just a few simple strength exercises above your head are enough to improve the overall health and flexibility of your musculoskeletal system:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The circulation in both your head and upper body changes during the exercises for a short time. That can be enough to stimulate your circulatory system<\/li>\n<li>Stable upside-down over-head exercises work the torso and shoulder muscles. This is important for balance, strength, and the active mobility of your upper body.<\/li>\n<li>As one of the main stabilizers of the scapula, the serratus anterior muscle is specifically targeted in such exercises. This muscle is often skipped in weight training. The result can be a variety of discomfort in the shoulder joint and shoulder girdle due to muscular disharmonies and imbalance.<\/li>\n<li>Supporting your body upside down (upwards over your head) is an excellent compensatory component for climbing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>These exercises are not just simple &#8220;antagonist training&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nThe exercises described here are not just simple &#8220;antagonist training&#8221; as handstands are often described. The undifferentiated division into agonist and antagonist reveals a superficial understanding of the complexity of functional-anatomical relationships of climbing movements.<br \/>\nRather, in these exercises, corresponding muscle loops, that are often neglected, or only half trained during climbing, are trained in very specific patterns. The &#8220;small&#8221; movements used to control uncomfortable body positions often produce the stimulus required to train the right muscle groups.<br \/>\nThe correct execution of the following exercises is shown and described in each of the photos. A mirror or a training partner can be very helpful in practicing!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exercise 1: Triangle<\/strong><br \/>\nStarting position as shown in photo<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kletterretter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Triangel-_1_Nr.-27-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"980\" height=\"654\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-101977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kletterretter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Triangel-_1_Nr.-27.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kletterretter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Triangel-_1_Nr.-27-64x43.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.kletterretter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Triangel-_1_Nr.-27-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.kletterretter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Triangel-_1_Nr.-27-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kletterretter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Triangel-_1_Nr.-27-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kletterretter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Triangel-_1_Nr.-27-416x277.jpg 416w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><br \/>\nIt is important that you stretch the arms and the elbow and shoulder joints as far out as possible and straighten your back (stretching).<br \/>\nStretch out your leg and stand with your whole foot (!) on the ground. Only your hip joint is bent.<br \/>\nIf you have problems with this, bend your leg slightly in the knee joint. Keep your back straight!<br \/>\nStretch your other leg straighten back. This is not easy and requires strength and agility in combination.<br \/>\nYou might feel like your position is perfect until you see yourself in a picture or in the mirror. Do not worry, I feel the same way and I also have to practice a bit (see photo) \ud83d\ude09<br \/>\nNow raise and lower the heel several times, whilst keeping the rest of your body as close to the starting position as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exercise 2: Yoga push-up<\/strong><br \/>\nFor this exercise, you should have experience with the downward facing dog position from yoga. Bending your legs in the knee is okay, as long as your back is straight and your arms remain stretched at your shoulder joint.<br \/>\nPut one arm on your back, so that only one is supporting you on the ground.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kletterretter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/YogaPushUp_1_Nr.-94-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"980\" height=\"654\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-101979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kletterretter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/YogaPushUp_1_Nr.-94.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kletterretter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/YogaPushUp_1_Nr.-94-64x43.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.kletterretter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/YogaPushUp_1_Nr.-94-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.kletterretter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/YogaPushUp_1_Nr.-94-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kletterretter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/YogaPushUp_1_Nr.-94-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kletterretter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/YogaPushUp_1_Nr.-94-416x277.jpg 416w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><br \/>\nSlightly bend your elbow (not much, only about 10\u00b0) and then push back to the starting position.
