Still kicking up and falling every time?
You've tried before and something keeps getting in the way. Sound familiar?
Fear of falling
You hold back every time, bracing for the fall before you even kick up.
No progress
You practice but never seem to improve — and it quietly kills your motivation.
Can't find balance
You can't control the tipping point, so every rep feels like a gamble.
No clear path
You don't know what to do first, second or next — so you stall and give up.
The Challenge removes the guesswork. You follow a proven path — one small win at a time — until balancing on your hands feels natural.
Your step-by-step path to a handstand
Nine clear milestones — from standing to freestanding — over 21 days. No jumps, no overwhelm.
Set your stance
Find your alignment and warm up your wrists and shoulders.
Load on all fours
Build real wrist and shoulder strength from a stable base.
Pike & stack
Walk your hips up over your hands and learn the inverted line.
Reach & lean
Practice the entry — reach long and shift your weight forward.
Lean to your hands
Move your weight onto your hands and feel the balance point appear.
Tuck balance
Hold a frog stand and balance through small adjustments.
Wall handstand
Get fully inverted with the wall's support and build confidence.
Split & control
Control each leg separately and find balance through movement.
Freestanding hold
Leave the wall — your own balance, your floating moment.
Train anywhere, on any device
Real students and real training — straight from the same phone you'll use.
- ✔Follow-along videos for every single day

“I absolutely loved Oleksiy Kononov’s Handstand program. It offers great value and is a very good investment, truly unbeatable compared to a traditional gym membership or personal trainer! The workouts are fun, short, and extremely efficient, with almost no equipment needed, which makes it easy to stay consistent (I travel a lot). The flexible schedule fits perfectly into daily life. One of the best parts is being part of a supportive community, where we receive personalized feedback and encouragement, which makes a huge difference in progress and motivation. I can’t wait to start another of his challenge.”fPosted on Facebook ↗
“I took the 21 day handstand challenge!! Oh man, my shoulders and core were weak! At the end of the challenge not only I was stronger, more confident but I was not afraid of being upside down and I fell in love with inversions. I kept going with my practice! I can now hold a handstand for a few seconds now!”fPosted on Facebook ↗
“I was stuck in my handstand progression for a long time. His programs were just perfect for me, they have the needed warmup to prepare you without using all your energy before you get to the actual handstand drills. The handstand drills are amazing, they work helping you adjust all body parts as needed and overcome the fear. The big variety of exercises and smart progressions don’t let you get stuck. The support group is great, Oleksiy takes time to look and give feedback and support to every single video, he is awesome, friendly and super supportive! I’ve completed handstands 1 and 2 and in 42 days I’m doing things I wasn’t able to in two years of trying! I can’t wait to start the next challenge!! 🤩❤️”fPosted on Facebook ↗
“I just completed the handstand course and it was awesome! Definitely will be adding this to my routine now that I have the basic strength and mechanics of it…and it’s fun so why not. Moving on to the next course right away. Thank you Oleksiy Kononov”fPosted on Facebook ↗
“I totally recommend the programs created by Oleksiy Kononov. I started with the Handstand Challenge.. without having an expectation that I will succeed, but I did it, for the first time in my life, at 37 years young 😊. It wasn’t easy, but the program is so perfectly structured to build up the strength and mobility needed to perform the handstand. Another amazing thing I’ve learned is the discipline of working out every day, which became such a great habit (used to go to the gym 3-4 times a week before this). Overall.. again such amazing programs!”fPosted on Facebook ↗

“I did the Handstand Challenge and it is a very well structured course, doesn't matter if you're a beginner or advanced, you still feel and get all the benefits of this course. I enjoyed every session, very useful tips and great feedback from Oleksiy on each session. I recommend him and his courses!”fPosted on Facebook ↗
“I took his online beginner handstand course, and I through it was well structured and followed logical progressions. Though it was a sizable time commitment, following the routine for four weeks helped me get stronger on my hands and showed me some great drills to practices. The format with feedback from coaches for a fairly low investment is quite innovative. I did expect that the initial class would get farther in progress to a freestanding handstand, which is apparently covered more in the 2.0 class. So that would have been good to know up front. But overall I found the exercise videos well constructed, really liked his warmups (and smiled at his happy fist pump at the end of each session) and did learn quite a bit in the course.”fPosted on Facebook ↗

“Handstand challenge helped me overcome some previous limitations. Videos with each exercise reduce the chance of a movement mistakes and also bot is keeping person motivated to complete the sub challange everyday. there is also personal feedback included when uploading the test video everyday. So far the best online challange I've done. Highly recommended! 😊”fPosted on Facebook ↗
