Detailed explanation

Find an open space with enough room to perform a handstand. Place your hands on the ground shoulder-width apart, fingers pointing forward. Kick your legs up towards the wall, using your core and shoulders to maintain balance.

Once in a handstand position, engage your triceps to support your body weight. Hold the handstand for as long as you can maintain balance. To come down, slowly lower your legs back to the ground.
