Handstands are good for your health, great at building upper body strengh and will help boost your balance and mood.

Practicing freestanding handstands or doing handstands against a wall and trying to take your feet off the wall for as long as possible will help increase your balancing abilities.

Handstands will also help build your core since staying upside down forces you to stabilize your muscles, working your abs, as well as other key muscle groups such as your hip flexors, hamstrings, inner thigh muscles, obliques and lower back.
