What is backtuck & back walk over?

Question

Im 11 and starting gymnastics in September...

What are these things and are they hard?

Answer 1

Well, the person above answered exactly what you asked. I'm also a coach and i would say that what helps most is listening well. your coach doesn't just say whatever without a reason. if they say  "keep your legs together" do it as best you can. take all advice to heart. also, do everything your supposed to. say your coach says 20 sit ups. DO 20 SIT UPS not 18 or 19- 20. even do it at home again. conditioning is important

Answer 2

Depends what you consider hard, I suppose. The back tuck is a flip in the air backwards, while your legs are folded and tucked to your chest:

The back walkover is bending back into a bridge, then kicking your legs over just as your hands hit the ground:

Good luck at gymnastics, it's a fabulous sport!
