Parallette Swing-To-Handstand
- 1 - Place two parallettes shoulder-width apart on a stable surface and grip them firmly with both hands, fingers wrapped securely around the handles.
- 2 - Begin in a plank or L-sit position on the parallettes with your arms fully locked out and core engaged.
- 3 - Initiate a controlled swing by tucking your knees toward your chest and generating upward momentum through your hips and core.
- 4 - As your hips rise, extend your legs overhead in a pike or straddle position, driving your feet toward the ceiling.
- 5 - As you approach vertical, extend your entire body fully — squeezing your glutes, pressing through the parallettes, and stacking your hips over your shoulders.
- 6 - Lock out your arms, protract your scapulae, and hold the handstand position with your body in a straight line from wrists to toes.
- 7 - To exit, carefully lower your legs back down in a controlled reverse swing or step down safely to avoid injury.
