How to One Arm Handstand | BASICS |

[@FitnessAndLongevityWithHan]

I’m 52 and started my handstand journey at 50. Still struggling to hold for more than 30 seconds but improving all the time. Can’t wait to be able to handstand on one hand! Thanks for the tips ✌🏼

[@NatalieReckert]

​@@NatalieReckert I'll do one arm Handstand

[@kingsleyguise3737]

Natalie, I love your videos. Thanks for posting this one in English! I particularly like the little tips you give, for example thinking about balancing from side to side with the hand as well as front and back. It sounds obvious when you say it, but I hadn't thought of it.

[@NatalieReckert]

Hi Kingsley, thank you so much! I am very happy that you are finding it helpful! Active balancing is so important! Many people think balance is about finding a Zen-like perfect spot but it really is an ongoing active process. Keep the fun and the commitment going :)

[@RuanNoa]

You are awesome. I'm extremely grateful for your advices. 😍

[@NatalieReckert]

You are amazing! One of the best handstand channels if not the best!

[@NatalieReckert]

Thank you so much! Handbalancing contains so much detail and complexity I think it deserves more attention :)

[@bboyagua]

Please keep these coming! They are so valuable to me, will be supporting ASAP.

[@NatalieReckert]

Thank you very much for the great feedback. It makes me very happy!

I love what you doing here, thanks so much! I have a question, did you ever get injured with your wrists? and how to fix that? because of my wrists pain, I can't train my one arm handstand on the floor. So desperate!

[@NatalieReckert]

Hello, thanks :) I never had any serious wrist problems, sometimes I got pain if my weight wasn't evenly distributed on my hand or the pain may come from the shoulder or elbow, that's possible tooo. In general, my advice would be: wrist strengthening exercises, stretches and start working with blocks.

Thank you very much!

Love this channel it helps me a lot! I would like to learn a one harm handstand but I can only hold a split handstand for 60 seconds but only 30 seconds for a straight handstand, does it matter what type of handstand you can hold for 60 seconds?

[@NatalieReckert]

Thank you :) It will help you for your one arm handstands, if you get your straight and straddle two arms very strong. This is because these shapes require you to be very precise and require you to engage your upper back more than the split handstand, so it will make you work harder and prepare you better. Perfection your alignment in the straight handstand and make sure that your shoulders are perfectly open and your ribs pushed in. Start with the weight transfer exercises and then build it from there.

Amazing tutorial! Unfortunately, I fall to side everytime on my OAH attempts. 😁

[@NatalieReckert]

Try to do less and feel the weight. If you fall to the side you transfer too much without blocking the shoulder. Check here: studio.kzbin.infoKvCC5huiJQY/edit

Thanks Natalie, working by now on the basic straight handstand to get later to the one arm. Do you travel a lot for your wokshops or they happen mainly in Germany ?

[@NatalieReckert]

Hi, I usually teach in the UK and in Germany. If I come anywhere else you'll find out on my social media pages :)

[@lionkingmatiouz3441]

@@NatalieReckert Okay. I'll check. If you ever come in France, like in Paris for example, I would try to join the session ;)

[@NatalieReckert]

@@lionkingmatiouz3441 fabulous!

[@ramasaputra6205]

Hy nathalie its me 😄, i was wondering does having hypermobilty joint in one arm handstand is sightly harder ?

[@NatalieReckert]

Hi, I don't think it makes it harder. It may make it easier because I can move my arm for balance more. I have to say though, that I have no comparison because I have always had those hypermobile elbows. In my experience as a teacher I don't see a lot of difference in my students whether they have hypermobile joints or not.

How long did it take you to do oahs? Thamks Natalie.

[@NatalieReckert]

Hi, on the right side I got to holding 3 seconds with rigrous practice (conditioning and handstands) within 6 weeks but I had a very good handstand and general fitness level. On my left arm it took me 6 months and it was a really frustrating process. When it comes to one arm handstands, measure your progress every three months, you will not notice progress within weeks. You need to stick with it, have a tight practice plan and learn to deal with the frustration of very slow progress. In my experience as a coach, for the average person learning a one arm takes a year and a half with practicing five days a week at least two hours a day. That is a realistic timeframe I think.

[@julianos.pilati5534]

many thanks Natalie. I train 5x a week. but 3x in the week do specific hand-stop training and the other two only 30 minutes to keep the brain active. after 6 years I have 3 seconds for each side on oahs.
