Handstand Hikes

Indoor Handstand Ideas
 Let’s give you a sample of the objects we used on our last Handstand Hike in the gym:

Springboard in two directions
Vault Table
Pommels on Pommel Horse
Low Set of Rings
Edge of Pit
Edge of Tumble Tramp into Pit
Top of the Awards Stand
Chair from the Spectator Area
Floor Bar
Low Bar
Parallettes
Trampoline
Low Beam
High Beam
Stairs
Couch
Trash Can (it was covered and brand new)
Mat in the Pit

Outdoor Handstand Ideas
 The opportunities are even more varied when you get out in public.  On our last Handstand Hike to a public park we used these objects for handstands:

Sandbox
Park Bench
Bridge railing (we spotted and it was much wider than a beam)
Slide and Slide Ladder
Jungle Gym
Swing
SeeSaw
Picnic Table
Tree Stump
Concrete Wall
Fire Hydrant

 Obviously, there will be more and different objects you will find when you actually get going on your Handstand Hike.

Safety First
 For safety, you are going to need to make certain that before you choose any object to do handstands on, that you will be able to safely spot every gymnast on that object.

 Have a Happy Handstand Hike.
