Really depends on what you are more comfortable with.  When I start teaching tucks I try to remind tumblers to grab the fronts of their shins like they are hugging their legs.  Pulling them close to your chest helps you get enough rotation to make it all the way around.  Just remember to open back up.  My more advanced tumblers grab the back of their thigh because this helps them get ready for pike overs.  Good luck and remember to use spotters who know what they're doing.

practice doing just regular tucks and then slowly modify the tucks into the kickflip, alot of times it is easier to do just a tuck and progress then just try to fix what you have wrong there, buy you could also try having a friends say go or something when you should bring your legs out, that seems weird but it helps alot

put more rotation in your hips and more "push off" from back leg.  If you can rotate hips and push off at same time you wont drop knee.

Bulk up on your arms and upper body.  Then you won't have anything to worry about.  Don't throw your head back; just let it go with your body.  Arms by your ears and tight.  Just freakin' do it.  It's a trampoline!!  Actually, on a trampoline, no hands is easier.\n\nYou might start with more back walk-overs.  Then you won't have the fear of falling backwards as much.  I have fallen on my head so many times doing back flips.  Don't worry about it.\n\nBut wait, do you have any gymnastics training?  If not, back handsprings may be out of your league and you shouldn't be trying them anyway.  Try a gymnastics or tumbling class.

Lets see try crunches as well as six inches you lay flat on your back lift yer feet six inches off the floor and hold it until u cant then let them drop and repeat also try touching yer toes and holding your arms straight out to your side and twisting this will work the muscles of yer sides and also try alternating touching your calf on each side from same start position as the twist kinda like a side crunche works good for those love handles .

front flips are way harder than back flips... and a little dangerous on the trampoline (cause you can over-rotate and smash your nose on the frame).  So, start by jumping up, and flipping forward, landing on your butt.  As you get used to this, jump higher and higher.  Eventually, you will be comfortable enough to try to land on your feet.\n\nBackflip:  can you do a backhandspring on the tramp?  if so, try to take your hands away.  This will give you a "whip-back".  If you want to do a back tuck, you need to jump up, spotting a tree or something.  jump up high and when you get up to maximum height, slam your knees into your chest.  (you should practice this laying down on the carpet.  you will feel yourself start a quick back-roll)  As you slam your knees into your chest, you will flip over.\n\nSplits.  just strech.  2 weeks is a VERY tight schedule (pardon the pun) If you are learning ceter splits, use a wall or, better yet, a friend.  If you lay on your back with your legs perpendicular to your body and spread your legs.  Have your friend push your legs towards the floor. OUCH but it works.\n\nOh, one more thing for tramp safety.  Have someone "spot you"  They should be standing on the ground and if you over-rotate, they can catch you before you fall off.  \n\nBest of luck!

The most important thing to remember when learning a backhandspring is to trust yourself. You might be a headcase at first, cause I was, but you have to know that YES if you do jump backwards, your hands WILL catch you! Just remember to SIT (like in a chair) on your take off, and to keep your arms locked when jumping back so you won't fall! Keep your head straight inbetween your arms, and push off the ground with the tips of your fingers. It might take awhile, but you will get it!

i have mental blocks all the time. just relax and think about what you are doing and get a spot to be safe and just know that they have you. about the tramp.. i wont tumble on one either because i go to high in tucks and its scary

I have taught gymnastics (to kids) for many years.  I did teach my adult (non-gymnast) brother to do a back handspring though.  So you're never too old to learn.  Before I would teach a front tuck on the ground I would teach it on the trampoline.  After you learn how to correctly do the flip on the tramp then you can move it to the floor.  Most gymnastics clubs have a trampoline so I would look for lessons there.  Some gymnastics clubs do have adult classes or some would set up private lessons for you with one of their coaches.  I would look up gyms in your local phone book and just call and ask questions.  I believe people can do anything they put their minds to.  Just be willing to do the hard work that comes with it.  Good luck!

Stand with your arms out in front of you or at the back of your head and then bend at the knees as far as you can and then back up again. \n\nhttp://www.teamtrevois.org/forme/squat.jpg

Lunges do the trick.  Also if you've watched some figure skating, there this trick called a spiral... this is when you are standing up right and then what you do is lift one leg behind you with the free leg straight and tense as far as you can go.  Once you're reached your limit, start arching your back so the leg gets higher up.  As you raise your leg past your hips, you'll need to start leaning forward a little bit opening your hips ever slightly.  You can start to feel the burn and your glutes tightening up.  I have a picture I can email to you but dont know what email address to send it too as you'd be the first one I am actually answering the question.  I hope that helps!

i don't know about having kids and stuff like that but i have cindy crawford's second workout video the one she did after having her baby and during the ab part she mentions if you have a split or something like that that you need to cross your forearms in front of your stomach and put each hand on opposite sides of your abdomen when u do crunches and stuff.  be careful, yikes!!!!

I've never heard of this technique.  Is it offered everywhere in the country?  I'd love to do something that isn't very high impact b/c I have back problems so maybe this might be good for me.  Thanks for bringing it to my attention! :)
