2 Block Step
- Begin in a free handstand on handstand blocks.
- Grip the blocks with either two (index, middle) or three fingers (index, middle, ring) on the front edge of the block.
- Straddle your legs apart wide and shift some weight to your right arm.
- Flip the left block on its side, shift to your left, and do the same with the right block.
- Now shift back to your right and stand the left block up tall.
- Balance on the tall end, do the same with the right block, and reverse the steps back to flat blocks.
- The stability required on one arm will now increase as it will require slightly longer to manipulate and turn the block to the desired edge.
- Count that entire sequence as one rep and repeat.
