back handspring help?????
462166
There's no age limit, I didn't learn to do a good back handspring til I was 21.  Work on your ab muscles that helps.  Also I learned how to do it by getting the feel in a foam pit.  The pit was solid not blocks of foam.  It really helped.  I did notice that when my chest started to develope that it was really hard to do tricks.  Your balance is different.  Good luck

for any posture that requires you to put a lot of weight on your wrists(e.g. plank pose--sort of like a push up w/o lowering yourself), make a fist instead of an open hand. I have the same problem!\nHope this helps

You need help on how to do back-bend kick overs? OK. I know that these take along time, I took longer on these than I did things like back handsprings and back tucks! Back bend kick overs are one of the most important things to know in gymnastics.\nMake sure you have a"spotter" to arch your back correctly and so you don't fall.\nGet in your back bend.\nStart to rock a little bit, that warms up your muscles. \nPush off the ground with the foot you AREN'T kicking over, have your spotter support the leg and help push it over.\nYou need strong arms and back to be able to do a back bend kick over, not so much with the legs. \nGood luck.

a great back exercise you can do with the swiss ball is to lie on top of it so that your waist is the part touching the ball.  have someone hold your legs so that your whole body is horizontal on the ball.  then put your hands behind your head and lower your torso down, and then bring it up as high as you can...and repeat.  this is a killer...might take some time to work up to it.

It takes a different amount of time for different people. For me, it took very long, longer than it did my back handsprings or back tucks! But once you get it, it's easy!\n\nIts natural for your wrists to hurt because of the way you are using them and the weight you are putting on them is not normal. I can't be sure you are doing them correctly since I cant see you, but that is normal and just be careful and remember to rest and not push yourself too hard.\n\nHere are my tips on doing back walkovers:\nWhile you are going back you have to be pulling your leg back at the same time. Otherwise it is choppy and MUCH harder to get over. Start with your leg up (make sure you have your balance), its easier.\nWhen first practicing, do it on a mattress or better, a trampoline.\nMake sure you KEEP YOUR ARMS OVER YOUR HEAD. Many give out and then PLOP on your head and it hurts!\nHave someone spot you first, arching your back.\nMake sure you have your bridge first, or trying to do a back walk over is crazy! Practice your back bends a lot.\n\nAnother exercise is to do a bridge with your feet up on something(a couch, bed, etc). Then, kick your legs over your head. To strengthen your back, do this same exercise, only try to use your back to pull your legs over, instead of kicking. \n\nGood luck!

For a one-handed backhand:\n1. Keep your hips parallel to the long side of the court during the entire swing. In other words, don't twist your hips. \n2. Follow through with the racquet. \n3. Watch Roger Federer! His one-hander is the best. \nFor a two-handed backhand:\n1. Make sure your arms are extended during the swing. \n2. Hit a two-hander like you would a forehand with your non-dominant arm. So, if you're a righty, work on your lefty forehand and when you put your right hand on there, let your left hand do the most work. \n3. Start the stroke with your hips parallel to the long side of the court, but unlike the one-hander, twist your hips during the stroke. \n4. Follow through with both hands on your racquet. \n\nIf all else fails, watch the pros!

Lie on your back and put ur hands behind your head. touch one elbow to the opposite knee (have them meet in the middle) do 50 reps of this then switch to the otherside.
