01 / Steps
How to do it
Get into a handstand position.
Slowly lower your legs together until you attempt to reach a horizontal position on the ground.
Try to bring your head as far forward as possible and seek maximum mobility in your wrists.
Normally it is more comfortable to do this on parallel bars or push-up grips, but it can also be done on the floor.
