Gymnastics
this upcoming friday i'm going to a private gymnastics lesson, is there anything i should know in advance? i'm learning my backhand spring cause i need it for cheerleading next year.
i can't do a split right now so any advice on getting one quick; like by april? and toe touches?
for the back walkover, any easy ways to walk over? i can do a bridge but i can't quite walk over yet. i don't know why not cause i feel confident lol
:]
any tips for gymnastics or whatever, let me know please!

Maybe give some free advice about: Sports?
for the backwalkover dont go to your toes when your in the bridge about to kick over.it stops you and gives you less force to push off with.so feep your feet flat on the ground.
hope i helped:)

The best advice I can give you is to practice by stretching everyday and working on it everyday. The more flexible you are, the easier it will be to learn it. I'm sure you already know that though. :)

ok you arent going to learn how to do a backhandspring in one lesson. for some people it can take a year or two to actually be able to do it on their own. one tip-- you cant be scared. try whatever they tell you to do. seriously, the worst you can do is jump back and fall directly on your head.. ive done it lol it doesnt hurt that much. as for your splits.. practice them every day hold them for a minute or two.. push yourself to the point of discomfort but not the point of pain if you know what i mean. for the backwalkover.. do a lot of bridges to help make your back more flexible. when you do a bridge.. push back towards your shoulders and try and make your shoulders go farther out than your arms. sry thats kinda hard to explain but you'll know what i mean once you try it. get your feet as close to your hands as possible and then kick over. :) good luck

You probably won't get a flipflop (backhandspring) in one lesson. But go home and work on them with a friend who can do one and knows what they are doing. My sister taugh me alot more then any tumbling place did about cheerleading.
Keep stretching. My mom was a ballerina and she told me she can still do the splits if she stretches it out for a few days. Just keep stretching and you will become more flexible.
Like with back walk overs, theres no easy way, you just hve to keep working on it. Tumbling doesn't come easy to some people so thats why you need to stretch and practice at home. Do brigdes and hold them for 20-30 seconds or more. Make sure your doing them the right way. Like I said, get a friend who knows how to tumble or someone you can hang out with to help you out.

I DOUBT that you will get a back handspring in one lesson.
Stretch (straddles, splits as far as you can go) to get your splits. I had them, but I lost them.
Same with toe touches.
For the back walkover, stick your nose out and rock out towards your nose an eensy weensy bit.
If you have more specific questions, let me know. I was a gymnast for 7 years, but I quit due to injury. Gymmnastics messes you up.
