Wall Walk

Technique

The wall walk starts in a push-up position with your feet against a wall; you walk your feet up the wall and your hands back toward it until you are close to a handstand, then walk back down. It builds shoulder strength, core stability and confidence upside down.

Steps

1. Lie face down with your feet against the wall and push up into a plank
2. Walk your feet up the wall while stepping your hands back toward it
3. Go as close to the wall as you can control, keeping the core tight and arms locked
4. Walk the hands out and the feet down to return to the plank

Common mistakes

• Letting the lower back sag into an arch
• Walking the hands too close before you have the strength

Variations

• Partial wall walk
• Wall-facing handstand hold
