GYMNAST TIPS

                     Gymnast Tips

Here you can look for tips on gymnastics skills, or post some of your own tips in the comments!

Handstand: Practice lunge lever hop, then build up momentum and go all the way up and SNAP your legs together.

Front limber: Must know-bridge, handstand. Go into a handstand and bend your legs then fall into a bridge. Keep practicing on a high surface. One you perfect that, try it on the ground.

Backbend Kickover: Tip:look for the other wall. Keep your arms and legs straight. The bend one leg and PUSH HARD with the other.

                           GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!
