Handstand Show | Whitney Bjerken

There was a lot of great places to do handstands at the Marietta Square today! I also did Laurie Hernandez's Press Toe-Touch challenge! Let me know how I did over on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whitneybflippin/Show more

From Wikipedia: Handstands in Gymnastics -
There is one basic handstand style in modern gymnastics: straight back. Straight-back style is employed when the aesthetics of straight body lines are desired and feasible. In many cases (e.g., when a handstand is being performed in conjunction with a gymnastic apparatus).

All basic gymnastic handstands have these characteristics:

Straight arms with hands placed on the ground approximately shoulder-width apart.
Straight legs, held together and tight.
Pointed toes so as to continue the lines of the legs.
Head in ears always hid by your arms.
In addition, straight-back handstands have these characteristics:

Tucked head (face pointed forward) as if standing upright.
Straight spine, with hips pushed forward. If performed while lying flat, this would cause the small of the back to contact ground.
