For inactive people, it's probably also best to start with easier exercises that don't involve as much balance or strength. Your tendons and joints take time to adapt to exercise, in fact they take longer than muscles to adapt. For example, some pushup regression (e.g. pushup with your knees on the floor) followed by regular pushups builds arm and shoulder strength/stability. This would make learning the handstand much easier and safer later on.
