A lunge is the one with the black leotard but you want your knee to come over a little bit more and the other one is a really good form handstand.Please note that if you are not familiar with a handstand please have a spotter or someone who can help you if you get hurt. This is important information. I highly recommend that you stretch your wrists before you do your handstand so you don't hurt your self.
1.First you want to wear something you can move in (probably not jeans) more like stretchy pants and a more fitted shirt would work or if you have a leotard that would be the best thing you can wear.
2. Find a soft area like the grass, a rug, or a mat, I recommend a mat though, because it gives more traction and if you fall its more cushy.
3. You want to be in a lunge position.(look at the top and you will find a lunge. If you do not know what it looks like.)you want to have your arms super strong and straight above your head so you don't you fall (on your head). It really hurts by the so it's super important top have nice strong and straight arms. You want your knee to come over your calf a little not so much that your knee is touching the ground, but enough that you can push off with.
4. You want to slowly start to push off into you handstand so you don't flip over on to your back. When you are up you want to make sure that your hands are straight in front of you. When you are up you have to center your balence so you are not leaning to one side. You do lean to one side then you are more likly to fall down. When you are in you handstand you do not want to arch your back to much or it eather throughs you off balance or you can hurt your back. So, keep a nice straight slighly cuved back. You want your toes to reach for the beatiful wide sky so you can stay up longer.
5. When you feel like you are about to fall you don't want to arch out meaning fall into a bridge you want to slowly split your demonet leg apart from your other leg and touch the ground. As your demount leg touches the ground your other leg flowes behind. When both legs are on the ground you lift your back up so you have a straght body and put your hands up high with your chest up.
6. After you get it a couple times you want to start working on your form. Good form is pointed toes, straight arms, when you come down into your lunge arms straight up and all of that very proper gymnastics stuff, keep working on it and if you keep trying and don't give up you will get it in no time! Good Luck!
