Great video. Question: I have the technique of a back handspring, I'm just lacking the power to take off. I'm all good on the tumble track, but no chance for me to do the skill on the floor due to lack of power in my legs. Do you have any additional preps for bringing back the power? Thanks.
Thanks for all this valuable information, I am 50 years old and just started an adult gimnástics program, and I need to improve my stretching , great content ❤
thanks i had backhandsprings my whole life but something happened in my 30s where as i feel like i weigh 400 pounds and i can bareley stand it up .. most of my other tumbilng is fine but these went away somehow.

Wow thanks so much! About 95% of our coaches are either ex gymnasts or still currently compete in MAG, WAG and Acrobatics. The other 5% come from another competitive sporting discipline like dance, figure skating etc. Great to hear you are investing tie into your fitness journey. We love that!
I recently started an adult gymnastics class here in South Africa and I'm loving it. These videos are EXCELLENT in helping me practise at home. Really easy to follow; thorough and well taught 👏
Thank you for making such a detailed guide for someone starting from nothing. I hope you decide to upload more videos like this as it looks like you haven't made a video in a while.
You got skills you , need to work on videography and editing cause your skill gonna get you views but the video sucks , I'm sorry to put that way but I see potential, this channel can go viral with you guys
Thank you so much for tailoring this to adults! I didn't find gymnastics until I was already in my late twenties, but I am determined to develop these skills! Very helpful and encouraging -- thank you! 🤸
This is amazing. Thank you so much for doing a video for and with adults! A back walkover is a goal of mine but I didn't know if the drills that kids do would be effective for a 40yo female😅 I've saved the other adult gymnastics videos you've got, and look forward to doing these drills to assist my gymnastics journey as an adult! Thank you!
Fantastic tutorial. I’m on a mission. I’m 57 but I have more gymnastics in me! I refuse to believe I’m too old! Thankfully I still have loads of flexibility and good range of motion, but I’ve lost a lot of strength. I don’t care if it takes a year of practice…I will do at least one more of these walkovers before I croak 😂
Apologies for such a super late reply! These videos were made during covid lockdown and since we have been back at the gym it has been a little challenging to keep pushing out new content. However, we are so excited when we hear adults working on their skills! It can be daunting and easy to give up so when we hear adults having the mental and physical fortitude to keep going, it is music to your ears!!
I'm 35 now, but I was a gymnast for 15 years when I was younger. I really miss back walkovers but I don't have the flexibility for it anymore. Most tutorials I found are young flexible children, so these tips were VERY helpful and I am going to start working on everything outlined here! Thanks!
NEVER EVER GIVE up on your goals PLEASE. Do pelvic floor breathing exercises each day so when u kick or lift things with your legs then it don't hurt- practise makes perfect right
Awesome. Thank you. I have trouble opening the hips and driving the knees over. So, I will be practicing the lying down exercises with driving the knees/hips as well as the other drills. Thanks again. Very helpful.
Excellent. My back tuck is good, but so far I'm only doing standing tucks on trampoline, not floor. I think this all round routine will help me with conditioning and eventually give confidence to attempt it on the air tumble track.
