What is a handspring?

Handspring is a gymnastic movement in which someone starts in a permanent position, overturns on the hands and then drives the body up and lands in a permanent position. Hands can be done back or forward, as part of gymnastics, cheering, dance or acrobatics. Talented athletes can make more hands and create great momentum along the road when they drive along the mat. It helps to be reasonably beyond, strong and in shape, and most people prefer to practice mats so that if they fall, they are not injured. In order to make an athlete leadspring, it moves forward from the stagnant position to the stands, allowing the body to jump in a straight line, and then use the arms like springs to push the body back and bring the legs around to turn into a permanent position. The hands are carried out and usually requires more practice, because the athlete must move blind and basically fall back into the stands.

When learning this acrobatic technique, many people like to be used by observers, someone who pays attention to their form and movement to make sure they are safe. Spotters can also help by catching acrobats if they appear to be in the risk of falling. Coaches and instructors can act as observers in early learning phases and help people manage the basics of handspring to practice safely and with confidence.

6 Handsprings are often incorporated into floor routines, while athletes pass through a series of acrobatic movements, including front and rear handsprings as they move down the mat.

If you are in the mood to do some hands and you lack access to a padded gym, you should exercise outside on soft grass with lots of rooms. It will stab if you fall, but not by far as if you hit something inside. Use the observer if you can, and resist the temptation to bend your legs during a part of the racks as it causes you to cause you unstableWhite that you land on the bottom rather than on the legs.
