Answer 2

To do a back walkover, you will need to do a back kickover. A back walkover is when you go into a bridge and kick over in one swift motion.

To do a back kickover: you can start standing, or start on the ground, and go into the bridge. Lift one leg. If you are right handed, try lifting your left leg, and if your left handed, try lifting your left leg. But if that doesn't feel comfortable, try either or. After lifting up one leg, try to straighten the leg on the ground when you push off. Make sure you have lots of power, and try to go as far into splits as you can. If it's your first time, try putting your feet on a couch, or bed, then try kicking over. Even a wall will work. But I would suggest to do this on carpet, grass, or a mat.

To do a back walkover: Try to get a full split, because it will look better. But if you can't, it really doesn't matter:) Point the leg and toes that you would be lifting in the air, and raise it a couple inches off the ground. When you go into a bridge from standing, as you go down, lift the pointed leg. As soon as your hands touch the ground kick off with the leg on the ground. Make sure it is not choppy. It must be swift, because if toy have to stop in the middle, it is not a back walkover.

So have fun with your back walkovers:)

Answer 3

To do a back walkover, you need to learn the art of doing a backbend. After you learn the backbend, You're ready.

First, point one toe forward, hands up straight and shoulders stretched. Next, bend back like you do in a backbend, looking at your fingers. Then, when your in your backbend position with one foot up in the air, push that leg backwards and lift the other leg so your legs are in a split above your head, and finally get your legs over and back into a standing position.

You need to work on handstands so your hands can control your weight, and if you have a problem, get a spotter. And that is how you do a back walkover.

Answer 4

start by bending back onto something high, like a sofa. Slowly start lowering the surface you bend back onto. It will come to you. also, have a friend or family member put their arm on your back. They don't even have to really do anything. it just gives you confidence.

Answer 5

It took a while to master this but it's so easy. First you have to be warmed up, so try touching your toes. Do this while sitting down with your legs out and then while you're standing up, keeping your legs straight.

Next, stand with your feet almost a meter apart, and put your hands straight upwards but slightly bending backwards. Start to arch your back as much as you can, then bend your legs at the knee. Go as far as you can. When your as far as you can go, then drop so your arms touch the ground. Practise this first.

Now, whilst in that position, raise one leg a tiny bit off the ground and bend your other leg at the knee. Push off as hard as you can while lifting the other leg that is raised over as much as you can. You will end up going over and landing with your hands on the ground in front of you.

Another View:

The answer above gives you instructions on how to do a backwards limber. A backwalkover, as you probably know, starts on one leg. I stand on my non-dominant leg, but some people do it on their dominant leg. I begin with my dominant leg (right leg) in the air at about horizontal or a bit lower. I am standing straight up and down. My legs are straight and my free toes are pointed. I arch backwards, letting my free leg "follow" me back. This will give me better form and make the back walkover much easier, especially on the balance beam. I will be on my hands in a split position, like a handstand with your legs in split. Then my dominant leg touches down and I stand up to finish.

Answer 6

well it takes a lot of practice but there are a few skills you'll need to know

A Bridge (backbend from laying down)

A standing backbend (doing a backbend from standing)

and a backbend kick-over (go into a backbend lift your foot you prefer um in the air and kick-over)

once you can do all those i would start working on splits and get a mattress and try doing it your legs wont be strait at first but keep working on it an it will be it took me about 4 months to get a perfect back walkover but i would recommend looking up how to become more flexible on youtube and watch some of those videos then in a few months you should have it perfect Good luck!
