How to do a front hand spring?!?! and splits?

Question

I don't know how to do my front handspring but I really want to know how please help me.....

and I want to learn my splits too... can anybody help me

Answer 1

i cant help you on the handspring but splits is something i have achieved through my years of dancing.

after you have a warm bath and when you are warmed up try alot of stretching starting from simple and gradually moving onto advanced stretching so your muscles can open easier.

if you work out and do that every day you should be able to do splits in a few months but it does depend on how supple you are and in what shape your muscles are in.

try it & gradually you will see an increase in how low you can fall to and then you should be able to.

dont give up though, it wil hurt until you get to the splits you want to achieve but its worth it.

dont rush anything though because you could easily pull a muscle severely.

i would also advise you to ask a professional gymnast or dance teacher to give you tips.

Answer 2

Here is how to do a front handspring:

In a front handspring the athlete throws his or her hands down to the ground from a lunge position (or with feet together in the case of a fly spring or bounder) and pushes through the shoulders to block. This blocking subsequently causes the body to pop off the ground.

As the athlete's feet leave the ground he/she drives his/her heels in a semi-circular arc over his/her head and then to the ground. The athlete's arms should remain by his ears, close to the head and should remain straight throughout the skill. He/she should keep his/her core tight. The legs should be together and straight as well. The front handspring can be landed, or the gymnast can rebound into other skills, for example bounder/fly spring or front somersaults.

and splits:

A great way to get (or improve) your split is to move through a series of different stretches, from simple to advanced. If you are a beginner, you’ll probably want to master the easier stretches first before moving on to full split stretches.

Be sure to do each stretch on both sides – you’ll want a good split on both your right leg and your left leg in order to be a great gymnast.
