01 / Steps
How to do it
Perform a handstand.
Contract your abs, hamstrings, and glutes at the same time to rotate your hips back and eliminate lumbar curvature.
Try to align your entire body as much as possible, bringing your head almost between your arms, as if you want your biceps to be at the level of your ears.
Remember to point your toes.
