This was the best beginners handstand routine I've ever followed. I love your attention to full range of motion, scapular mobility, explanations for positioning and setting us up for the next move, and your cool down stretches. The lateral stretching after all routine and day of studying helped me get a better breath! Your video and energy have inspired me to get back into my routines.

Wow! This was so challenging! I didn’t realize how hard a handstand would be, you make it look so easy! I need to let go of my fear of falling, will be doing this 2x a week for sure !

I only just discovered you through your calisthenics for beginners routine that you posted four years ago. Loving your videos so far, but my favourite thing is you saying “you can do hard things” ❤❤❤

how did i only find your channel now? seriously, i've been looking for someone like you for years!! i'm only two minutes into the video and know i'll be coming back to work out with you because I love your energy and way of explaining! thanks for such amazing content

I appreciate how real you are. You don't care about having a hole in your sock or being super elegant, showing us all that we're all the same. Great job Summer, stay real and keep progressing. Your content is great!

Love your videos. Thank you Summer! I’m doing things I never thought possible at 51 thanks to you 🎉

Even though I am not a begginer in handstands I like to include variations in my routines and this is one of the best follow along I ever tried. Focused on trying to get that mind muscle connection and alignment of main important parts. TY

You are such a great coach!!! You say the right things to do at the appropriate times which helps so much. I actually feel like I am improving after just 2 of your handstand videos. Plus, I have been able to do crow position for over a decade, but I improved significantly simply following your steps. Thank you so much!

I really appreciate this handstand guide and routine. It not only is a stand alone shoulder/back workout but it is so productive in building handstand skills. I have the strength and flexibility to do a handstand I just have zero confidence in the maneuver so this is great! Additionally (I broke my back 2 years ago and have a lot of metal in my thoracic and it does weird stuff) the warm up sequence really loosened it up. My back feels great for the first time in a while.

Hi summer!I have started to watch and do your training videos since just yesterday!I used to be an athlete of artistic swimming, contemporary and ballet dancer/teacher, for a year I did a few callisthenics and mostly crossfit, until I got injured and forced to stop.And so many more different practices.Changing country, habits, giving birth to 2 strong and amazing amazons, my year resolution was to start all over, despite a discomfort on my collar bone and shoulder.. I will really do this!Thank you so much for your effort and mostly because you are self-taught!That is a hell out of worth!Keep it up and inspire us!Have a great 2024!

Im going to rewatch this video every day at the gym and see how much I can progress!! Thank you so much!

I just found your Visio and it is the best handstand routine to learn in order to do it right. I’m 62 years old and started to do handstands at 50. Injury’s and life got me off it in times but I always come back to it. Your warm up and strengthening exercise are so very helpful. Thank you so much for teaching and posting your videos

Advice to start with the bad leg was so incredibly helpful! Thank you so so much!

This is such a great follow along workout , it targets all necessary parts , HONESTLY YOUR SO UNDERRATED

The best handstand routine I have ever gone through. I especially like your positive attitude that keeps me pushing to better result! So addictive! :) . Great job! Thank you million times! :)

Just saying: you're the best!!! Love the attitude and the enthusiasm and - of course - admire your dedication. THANK YOU. You're are an inspiration and those Follow Along Routines are great. Keep 'em coming. I hope I survive the drill and get to press to handstand before I die!!!

This is a beautiful video! Great explanation and drills. Thank you so much, Summer. Keep up the good work.

This was wow great! Thank you so much! I have almost given up hope on ever being able to handstand, but it has been renewed today!

Yess!! That’s what I was looking for ❤️ you’re amazing! Exercises amazing! I feel amazing! Thank you soo much🙏⚡️

Thank you sooooo much this was the best beginner routine I ever did and after one time I felt huge difference and imroved my handstand, thank you☺

Youve got yourself a new subscriber, Im a man trying calisthenics for a bit now but these are the best videos by far. Amazing attention to detail, and I love some follow along trainings!

Loved it and you’re so funny! Love your instructions. Thank you!

You're fire. Never seen calisthenics the way you aproach it

This was the best information and handstand flow I've watched and physically understood. Thank you, Summer

Great workout, thanks. I struggled a little on the handstand kick ups bc I am afraid to go upside down.

That was absolutely amazing Summer- thank you very much!!!

Love your videos! I've been doing yoga and in advanced positions there are handstands and headstands. Crow pose of course is a must but there are a lot of calisthenics in yoga and I watch your videos to help me improve those. Thank you so much, I've always been scared of handstands because my arms are a bit weak so I couldn't do the one against the wall just yet but it's my first time really trying without anyone helping me but I feel like I can do much more thanks to you!!!

Hi summer, another great video. I have been following you for about a month, every video is top quality, and your instructions are very helpful. You are like a summer breeze, giving me motivation and inspiration. Best of luck.❤❤❤

Those first movements, shoulder protraction and retraction from all angles; Awesome! Love your hair too. Thank you for your helpful insights 🔥

OMG…!!! She’s a versatile and excellent singer! GBH

wow! That standing scapular warmup really is something! It's perfect for warming up before pole!

I am so glad i found out this chanel.

Thank you for this session! Really enjoyed it😍

i find the way youre counting down during the warmup parts to be very relaxing

Had to stop at minute 26 cuz my wrists were hurting, but will come back to this!! Very nice workout

Amazing coach

This is "hands down"😉, one of the best intros to handstand I've ever seen

Un ser de luz es esta mujer, thank you very much, maestra.

Best video handstand tutorial I have ever seen, thanks 😊

Awesome, Summer! Thanks!✌🏾🥰🙏🏾

This is so so so amazing! Starting with exercises that help the skill and than getting into the skill! 🤯 this really helps thank you 😊

I just found you on RU-vid and you have me hooked. Love your videos.

She’s got a such lovely pure soul. High value woman!

Thanks for your amazing workout. I kinda believed I might be able to do some handstands in the future.

Thanks for your sharing. 👍👍👍

Love your energy

I was too quick, every exercise has been an awesome one. THANKS!

This is excellent!

I have been doing this practice twice a week for the past three weeks and… wow! I have seriously made huge practice! Thank you so much. I had a little celebration today when I was practicing kick up’s and was able to hold it!

Very good follow along. I will try this.

Super AWESOME ❤

Awesome video

Thank you very much❤❤❤only me, you and handstand😂😂😂really, l like this video, without music, just exercises 🤗🙏🙏🙏

What a great drill!!! Thanks a lot!🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️

this is the most helpful beginner video I have found!

Such a great video. I came for the handstand but I also was going to look for a crow pose video, so this one was all I needed. You are trully beautiful too. Thank you!

Love the video ❤

That's amazing

😮wow

You are awesome..I am so gonna try your tips..👍👍👍

You are a really inspiration, excelente

Thanks Summer. It's a skill I'd like to master. Those freestand lunges were sketchy as hell at first (and still kind of are).

Damn that’s good…so sweaty over here

I love your video it’s feels real ❤️

Ты просто супер , я вижу твои положительные эмоции когда ты улыбаешся и почти смеешся , открытая и позетивная . Приятно смотреть слушать и конечно вместе тренироваться . Однажды я научусь стоять на руках и стану чуточку лучше себя чувствовать

You are the best

Awesome program

I love❤

I loved this tutorial! Going to make it my monday handstand routine! Thank you :)

doing this today

Thank you soo much

❤❤❤

Just finished. This is so strange to me. For context, I've been practising calisthenics at home, mostly working on glutes and ab exercises, for soon to be 4 months now. A tiny bit of handstand/ headstand practice (okay like three times and some goofing around). Worked once so far on mobility exercises, pistol squats and managed to achieve them assisted, however pretty challenging. Along with some pilates, planks and daily yoga practice. Been working on gaining weight and muscle from being an underweight twig, still trying to eat more to grow more muscle. I've never felt so in-between when it comes to ease and diffuctly in a practice. I guess maybe this routine is just familiar enough to be easier, but still new enough to be awkward. I haven't practiced crow poses or handstands in a while, and was greatly surprised (really it was just a bit of impovement) I felt a whole lot more ease and strength than I was used too! I was shocked, or maybe it was just your direction, I've never held crow pose for that long. This will be my new daily go to video for handstand training. Much appreciated, thankyou!

You are a machine, i wish you were my trainer, thank you

I did my crow facing a wall, my hands about a feet's distance from the wall. That helped me lightly support my head and feel more secure, not worry about falling on my face 😅

I'm gonna do a god damn handstand this year!

Thanks for the great tutorial. I've started trying to learn handstands on a couple of occasions before but not followed it through for one reason or another. This time just in this one session following your video I feel like I made loads of progress. However - I seem to have managed to tweak one of my glutes doing the leg kick ups. Do you have any warm up tips to avoid doing this in future?

For the arm raises where you lay down, only 8 minutes in and this easier than I anticipated. Which has me wondering if i'm doing it right. This really engaged my core and lower back even though I was trying to work the shoulders and arms. Thoughts?

this was fun and very helpful! Still hard of course, but that's the fun, right?

I loved this class! Fantastic! And I loved the hole in the socks. Absolutely natural! 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤

I folded the crow pose for so much longer (10s) than before yayy! but I need to get my hips higher ig

Thanks so much Summer! I loved this and surprised myself by being able to get up in the wall. I haven’t been able to get up yet using my off leg- any tips for overcoming that mentally or physically?

Wow! I love this Goddess! I also love that she is Vegan ❤I'm a Vegan athlete too. Looking forward to doing a handstand soon. I took gymnastics as a child. It's so much fun ❤

I have been regularly following your videos, very nice, and can see your abilities, I have a question, my son is 13 years old, he is a gymnast can calisthenics help improvement in gymnastics?

I never manage to kick my leg to the wall no matter how much I try. I can do pull ups and front splits, so my flexibly and arm strength are not bad. I don't know what to do and how to make progress. 😂

The last exercise, where you put your knees on your ellbows. I couldn’t hold this, so I didn’t lift my feet from the ground. Was that the correct easier way for the beginning? Thanks for the awesome workout and explanation. I hope I’ll be able to handstand with this.

This got me thinking, why the focus on raising your shoulders? The bit of other knowledge I have from kettlebell training is to do exactly the opposite during a similar movement (an overhead press), i.e. keep your shoulder joint as close to the torso as possible to increase its stability. Then again, I am by not any means an expert on handstands and only have some half-a$sed attempts every now and then under my belt, so I’m genuinely curious. Thanks!

Damm I need to fix my wrist first, years after a skating fall still feel pain when putting lot's of pressure.

What if you can't even kick up against the wall 😢?

Блиин как же жто тяжело ., но я стараюсь , каждый раз

Former track &. Bball player post too many surgeries & kids trying to get into calisthenics… I’ve been doing the beginner 12 min video daily for 2+ weeks and decided this would be a good progression … but is there another approach if you can’t do the kick-ups against the wall immediately? That’s min 20 of a 35 min session and I’d love to progress more!

The first part of the workout was fine until it was time to do handstands 😂 I wish Summer was my coach she's amazing! Still need to work on my confidence and arms strenght I believe

Would you say it’s easier or harder to grip in a handstand on thick carpet or hard floor?

I'm in love. I'm so ashamed of myself. 😅

The one Leg bent 90 degree to the wall fears me a Lot. I can do it with long legs and even without the Wall for a sec, but not with Bent knees 😢 any Idea what could Help?

I want to ask how to not be scare of kicking up the wall I needing assistance 😭 help thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Trying to learn a handstand keeping perfectly straight is like trying to learn to walk with your arms by your side...

My problem is I don't have enough courage to dive into the floor and kickback .. I can do a forward fold, put my hands on the floor, lift the leg and do small back and forth steps or climb the wall, or even do a handstand back to the wall from a bench.. but dice into the floor, my body just won't obey the command 😢😢

Hiya, great video and follow u on tiktok...how do I master the crow pose when my knees cause so much pain in my arms! I can do it with knees on the outside but it hurts too much on the actual arm...please help!
