It seems that everyone who wants to lose weight is searching for the key, the one thing that will make the fat melt off like cheese off a Philly cheese steak. Hmmm… maybe that’s not the best analogy. But there isn’t any one exercise or food or even activity that will make fat vanish. Hard work and proper diet will make it disappear faster. But there is one bodyweight exercise that will put your mind in a state that demands that you lose weight. And that exercise is the handstand pushup.

Now, the handstand pushup by itself is not enough. You need a well-planned fitness routine that fits your life and schedule (so that you will have the incentive and time to actually do it) and a diet that you can really follow. I, for example, have never tried to figure out if a piece of chicken is the size of a deck of cards. But I have reduced fried foods and late night snacks, and have lost weight quickly when I made those simple changes.

Okay, back to the handstand pushup. The exercise itself is simple: do a handstand. Push. You can only go “up.” Well, you could go “over” if you lose your balance. That’s why many people do their handstand pushups with their feet against a wall. If you are going to do this, wear socks. And don’t use the same wall every time, unless you like explaining to your friends why you have “wear marks” on your wall right about head high.
