ARMS – Handstand Holds

Anyone who has tried to hang onto a sail in a 40mph wind knows how important arm strength is in windsurfing. And while handstands might remind you of school gym classes, they have few peers when it comes to working on your arm and shoulder strength.

1. To initiate this exercise find a wall you can handstand against. Once you have your feet up clench your bum, push into the ground with straight arms tense your core and try to point hard to the sky with your feet. Hold this position for as long as possible, focusing on your arms a lot and pushing hard into the ground.
