  1. Start in a lunge, kick up to handstand. Ensure proper handstand position, abs pulled in, lower back straight, head in neutral position with ears between arms.
  2. Once in a steady handstand keep arms tight and straight, let feet fall to ground bending at the knees to form a bridge.
  3. From bridge try to rock on to toes and stand up, with chest and arms reaching forward.
