Once your head gently taps the floor, push back up as you straighten your elbows. Once finished with the prescribed number of push-ups, slowly walk your hands away from the wall and your feet down the wall to return to the starting position.FEEL: You should feel your core, hips, glutes, back and shoulder muscles working to perform the handstand push-up motion.COMPENSATION: Do not excessively arch your back when performing this exercise.
