coach meggin, i ve been searching for handstand videos and most of them are like two steps as they think it is the easiest thing in the world. i just discovered ur channel today and u are the only one who really knows how to teach a handstand or whatever u do in ur tutorials!!!! thanx a lot!!!!
Same. Channels like sevengymnastcsgirls don't explain it as well coz they r kids that know what they are doing and have been doing it for agesso they don't explain it in as much detail and in a technique which is only suitable for in the gym
it's on my bucket list..just started..still at the wall..so tempted to go all the way, but not even possible..also I am a runner and a swimmer, so I am so tight, but I know handstands are super healthy to do and will improve so much in my athletic endeavors. Thanks so much for making this video!
Yep and me apparently I’m too old and we can’t afford it ahaha. I’m not gonna stop tho I can’t wait till summer comes and I can practice outside where there’s loads of space
Thank you soooo much for this video..... I am so much better at my handstand than i was before, and i learned how to hold it by hovering just slightly off the wall and using all of your tips and now i can hold it for just under about 20 seconds. Thank you so much! keep posting more videos too please because i want to learn how to walk and do that thing that you did at the end into a handstand. :)
I want to handstand every time I watch your videos! That press handstand is a beast. I'll get it one day and *aMaZe* my friends! Thanks for the tutorials!
Man!! I wish I was taught to do a handstand in little steps like this. Probably would've saved me a neck,and upper back injury,and a lot less pain in the long run
I haven't tried it yet, but I think with your help I can get my handstand! A lot of people just say how to position yourself for it and then just do it, but you showed warm ups that are very helpful! Thanks!
ohh yay! because im 17 and i thought it was too late for me, and im disappointed that i didnt start off early, so i started teaching myself.. But thats incredible! thanks :D
So helpful. I am not a spring chicken either, as you so delicately put it. I ALWAYS wanted to do gymnastics as a little girl...I was so jealous of the little girls who could do handstands and cartwheels and backflips...but I was never able to no matter how hard I tried. Now I am almost 30 and I started practicing yoga and I really need this type of foundation to move into some more advanced stuff. I love the way you break this down. Any other way I have been taught, it is very elementary. "You have to kick up, or do this or that" and I know, but I am not there yet. Cannot wait to apply your tips!
Hello so I have been trying to do a handstand for 1 year now and just find this video and watched it and found out that I have been doing it wrong and at the start of the handstand I don't bend my leg and I don't go that far up so this video really really really helped thank you so much and I am happy I found this and I can do my handstand now whoop whoop lol :)
I love your channel! Even though I just found you today, all the other tutorials I looked at are like 1 or 2 steps and I think these will help me a lot. I go to gymnastics but I don't particularly practice like I should. Thank you so much for making this video! It's so good to hear from a coach who knows what she's doing!
Nice, I'm in the fitness industry, no background at al in gymnastics though and I've always wanted to do a head stand and always messed up and got frustrated. I now realized the importance of keeping your arms straight. I think I was just going to fast, trying to use strength instead of the right technique. Thanks for that video. I'll start to practice this week.
OH I'm so glad to hear that!! My daughter wants to do college gymnastics but isn't in full gymnastics yet b/c of expense wise and locality.She is 9. I'm hoping in the next year or so she can start. I think sometimes you can start to young and move up to quickly and get burned out. Atleast hopefully when she starts that won't happen. :)
Wow. The comments here are horrible. Thank you, coach Meggin, for doing these videos. They're a great resource. Please don't mind some of the commenters here. They are just petty human beings.
Yes thanks so much ! I've been trying to find a good video on how to do a handstand ! And this video helped me improved tons ! Overall I just wanna say thanks coach Meggin !
Thank you so much Meggan...My 7 year old saw someone do a handstand a month back and she has been learning on her own since then. I admire her passion and really wanted to guide her but couldn't until I showed her your video. She watches it atleast a dozen times everyday and although English is not her mother tongue but she is able to pick up a few things in just two days. Can you plz guide me as to how I should lay down the foundations right for her..Thanks again..
you're so cool and funny! thank you so much. i can kinda catch my handstand for a few sec if i jump into it. will try your techniques and other tricks. once succeed, will go into press handstand, back handspring and etc!! xx
Coach Thank You Thank you THANK YOU! I kept on doing my T-Stretches and it WORKED! I got my first handstand without a wall! i didn't hold it for long but it worked!
Omg thank you so much I thought I would never be able to do a hand stand my friends have tried to teach me for years and I never got it but in the first 8 mins of ur video I hade my handstand thank u soooo much u r amazing
Hi Meggin!! Thanks for posting this. You gave me the idea to try putting a sofa cushion in front of a wall so I can try to do one without the fear that I'm going to collapse on my head (which is usually why I don't do it on the ground) and even when I do try it on the trampoline (off to a different point of view now) and try to do a bridge over, I always land on my head/ neck. PLEASE help me. I so wanna do gymnastics for a few years now (because my parents won';t let me) and I can't do ANYTHING without the basic step of one handstand, ONE! And my cartwheel is not even straight. And I think it's cause I have that feeling when I'm upside down on my hands, holding my body weight and especially when I feel like I'm about to collapse on my back or when it just goes all over the place. I SOOO wish I could meet you but I'm in Australia. Love your videos although a lot of them is impossible for me to do. :) Is it ok if you do a video teaching how to overcome your fears when being upside down and feeling like your gonna fall on your back?? Or have you made one?? PLEASE let me know...THANK YOU HEAPS!!! Bye!! xox
Thanks! Im saying thanks because my knee would be straight and i saw that it was suppose to be bent, also even though i haven't tried this yet, i have had trouble straightening my back and i know your tips will help.
Wow meggin this totally super super great I will post a video on my channel showing you what I can do from you I hope I have improved and now I can hold on handstand for exactly for 50 seconds because I did it for 50 seconds on the wall and now I gotten used to it
Thank you for helping I tried so much that in the end it was straight.bit it did not stay for long.so je am going to KEEP PRACTISING. THANK YOU so much Meggin
Thank you Meggin! Im using your drills a lot. I want to be the best gymnast ever, but im 12, is that too late to start ? I am already very flexible from dance, please tell me ur thoughts! thx
Sara D its never too late!! im 19 and i remember when i was 13 i refused to go to my gymnastic class because i thought i was too old to be there and now how i wished i had taken those clases :( i need a backbend kickover this week for a video and i cant even do a handstand :(((( soo my advice! you are on time! and you can become the best gymnast if u work really hard :)
It's never to late. I started gymnastics when I was 8. yrs old. I can do level 2 flips but I'm still in level 1. I wish I was in level 2. Level 1 is way to easy😂😔😡
thx :D im practicing everyday to do the splits or handstand , and after watching your video a few times im closest ive ever been to doing a handstand :) (cant do one properly yet though but getting better )
Thanks for the tutorial,It was great and safe, but Im going to ask you a question.When people know how to do a handstand, the problem will be how to stay on hands for more than four or five seconds ? For myself, I know some rules like, working on breath while doing a handstand, pushing your hand towards fingers when you gonna fall back etc, but if there is more detailed information for staying on hands while doing a handstand, let me know.
I CAN DO A HANDSTAND BUT I FALL IN TO A LIMBER AND SOMETIMES EVEN ON MY HEAD BUT I DID IMPROVE I CANT WAIT TO SHOW MY GYMNASICTCS COACH AND MY TEAMMATES THANK YOU SO MUCH
I love how you say "good job!" even tho I'm watching this at 11:53pm...

it's on my bucket list..just started..still at the wall..so tempted to go all the way, but not even possible..also I am a runner and a swimmer, so I am so tight, but I know handstands are super healthy to do and will improve so much in my athletic endeavors. Thanks so much for making this video!
Nice advice because. Tried it and the door opened and I fell. That hurt
This is definitely the most helpful handstand vid I've ever seen!
Im crying ... you are a hero I've been looking for ways to do handstands and this is the only video that helped me thank u!!
Im trying to teach myself gymnastics without a coach and its SUPER hard but this video helped alot
Me too my parents won't let me do gymnastics they say I'm too tall and I won't be physically able to do it.
Me too I'm too tall 😿
And my parents don't let me either
Yep and me apparently I’m too old and we can’t afford it ahaha. I’m not gonna stop tho I can’t wait till summer comes and I can practice outside where there’s loads of space

Thanks Coach Meggin! I wake up and watch your tutorials every morning and practise handstands whenever I can! Great teaching! :D
This has helped me, even though I need to practice a little more. Thanks!
Thank you so much!! I have been trying to find a tutorial that works for me for absolutely agesss! ;)
Good luck! It's definitely doable within a year, and 10 minutes of headstand is amazing, you've got quite a solid foundation for this handstand.
I haven't tried it yet, but I think with your help I can get my handstand! A lot of people just say how to position yourself for it and then just do it, but you showed warm ups that are very helpful! Thanks!
ohh yay! because im 17 and i thought it was too late for me, and im disappointed that i didnt start off early, so i started teaching myself.. But thats incredible! thanks :D
Thank you. You are SUCH a good teacher! You go through everything!
the press handstand you did at the end completely surprised me. i am more than impressed and hope you are with yourself as well.
'being upside down is fun'. I started practicing handstands 2 weeks ago and now I can hold it for 10 seconds, staright up and down. so rewarding!
