How do you keep your legs together in a back handspring?

Answer 1

Good question! It can be quite difficult but they only sure way to master this is through practice. If your legs are bending you are either just not straightening your legs or you might not have a very strong cart wheel. Practice just making your hands go to the ground and make sure that the leg that is leaving the ground (as your hands approach) is straight. Once you have that down pretty good just keep practicing. Lock out your knees at all times during the cartwheel and flex all the muscles in your body when do it as well. Try having someone watch you and have them tell you at what point you are bending your legs. This can give you an idea of when to make your legs super stiff!

Answer 2

To practice keeping them together you can tie your feet together with a rubber band

Answer 3

Well what you can sometimes have yourself do handstands because handstands are the main part of the back handspring. Or you can be more positive and say "I can do it"
