Gymnastics are impressive and exciting to watch. You'll need strength, agility, flexibility and some definite practice to get to the point where you're ready to try a front handspring but all the work will be worth it when you stick your landing.
If you want to learn how to tumble and are ready for a challenge, follow these steps to learn a new trick.
You Will Need
* Upper body strength
Step 1: Stand up straight
Stand up straight with your arms raised and held tight to your ears, looking forward.
Add a few running steps and small hop before the handspring to make learning the skill much easier.
Step 2: Raise one leg
Raise your strongest leg, keeping it straight and tight.
Step 3: Lunge forward
Lunge forward, placing your foot a couple feet in front of you.
Step 4: Plant hands on the ground
Plant your hands ahead of your body on the ground about a body's length away from your front foot.
Step 5: Kick your back foot to a handstand
Kick your back foot upward while pushing off of your front foot. Lock your ankles together into a handstand.
Step 6: Push off and fly
Push off the floor with your arms, keeping your ankles together and your arms locked to your ears.
Step 7: Stick the landing
Land on your feet with your arms up, legs slightly bent, and hips vertical with your feet.
The Olympic scoring system for gymnastics was changed in 2008 – after 80 years – to include separate scores for degree of difficulty and for execution in each event.
