The headstand
Tips you can use when learning to perform a headstand: • Try this first against a wall or with a friend as a helper.
• Practise on soft surfaces like gym mats. • Try to fall onto your feet rather than onto your back. If you feel yourself about to flip over, then try to land in a bridge position.
• Performing a headstand requires a bit of arm and abdominal strength. Try to strengthen these muscles.
• Tuck in your shirt when attempting the headstand.
