How to Build Up Front Reversed Arched Springs
- 1). Begin the front reversed spring by lunging forward. Bend your left leg and place it in front of the right one. Raise your hands above your head in preparation for the spring.
- 2). Place both hands on the floor at the same time and drive your legs straight up into the air. They should be directly over your head. Keep your legs as straight as possible to maintain a good form. If you're competing, you may lose points for failing to maintain straight legs.
- 3). Bring your legs back down on the opposite side to touch the floor. Use your arms and shoulders to push through this spring. This will require that your back is perfectly arched. Don't arch your back too strongly or you may damage the muscle. Let the weight of your body pull you back down again.
- 4). Continue to push through the spring until you are standing on both legs. Straighten your legs and raise your hands over your head to finish the front reversed arched spring. As you bring your body back down, mind your head and neck to avoid injury from whipping your head forward to quickly.
- 5). Practice your handspring daily. If you want to build it up to the point of mastering this skill, it is essential that you practice it as often as possible.
