[header] How to do a frontflip (beginners ) [title] Stretch first. [step] No matter what gymnastics move you're doing, you need to stretch first. You should at least stretch your ankles, hamstrings, neck, and wrists.
[substeps] To stretch your ankles, sit down on the floor. Prop one ankle up on the other knee, and rotate it in a circle a few times. Grab a padded towel or a yoga mat and rub the muscles of your legs and feet with it. Then squeeze the towel against your body and try to reposition your feet. As you focus on landing, stretch deeply without being too forceful. Give your body enough time to rest, and then move on to your next move. [substeps] If you've never done a frontflip, then it is important to stretch the top of your head first. This will give you some cushioning and increase the amount of shock your body will receive.
