How to do it
Stand with your back to a wall or wall bars.
Place your hands on the floor and get into a push-up position with your feet near the wall.
Walk up the wall by stepping your feet upward and bringing your hands closer until you are in a handstand facing the wall.
Contract your abs, hamstrings, and glutes at the same time to rotate your hips backward, eliminating the lumbar curvature (posterior pelvic tilt).
Hold this position for a set amount of time without losing the posterior pelvic tilt.
When the set time is over, come back down by moving your hands away and stepping down the wall until you safely return to the push-up position.
