What are easy ways to learn to do a back handspring?

Answer by  tru (144)

There is no easy way to learn a back handspring. Going to a gymnastics coach is the quickest and safest way to learn. Its something that takes time and learning the proper technique. You need a spotter after learning the right way to throw it.

There are no easy ways to do a back handspring but the best place to begin is with a professional from the field. A number of injuries could result from inproper approach or inmature body strength so is is important to progress to the technique with appropriate instruction, floor mats and a spotter.

Gymnastics improves flexibility, which is wonderful for a child's developing skeletal structure. However, if a child is overweight, and does gymnastics, there can be a risk of permanently damaging the joints, and at risks for other injury. Gymnastics is a weight-bearing exercise. Overweight children should participate in other non-weight activities.
