Mastering Balance: Handstand, Crow Pose, and Elbow Lever

Balance is a crucial component of calisthenics, allowing you to perform impressive moves with control and stability. Here are three exercises to help you master balance.

Handstand

The handstand is a fundamental skill in calisthenics, requiring strength, balance, and coordination.

  • How to Perform: Start by practicing against a wall. Place your hands on the ground, kick up into a handstand, and use the wall for support as you build strength and balance.

Crow Pose

The crow pose is a beginner-friendly arm balance that helps build wrist and shoulder strength while improving balance.

  • How to Perform: Start in a squat position, place your hands on the ground, lean forward, and lift your feet off the ground while balancing on your hands.

Elbow Lever

The elbow lever is a balance exercise where you support your body on your elbows while keeping your body horizontal.

  • How to Perform: Place your elbows on your hips, lean forward, and lift your legs off the ground, balancing your body parallel to the floor.

These balance exercises will challenge your stability and control, helping you progress to more advanced calisthenics skills.
