How to get more flexible!

Today I would teach you how to get more flexible! Flexibility is very important for gymnasts. Flexibility is a must for split jumps, mexican handstand or even  a back handspring. Before doing any of the exrcises below you need to do preparations and to warm up.

• Split

Try to get to a split position and push yourself down to the floor, your shoulders should be right in the middle. if your split is already full try to put the front leg on a higher surface.
Do all the skills with your three different splits: middle split, good leg split, bad leg split.

• Back flexibility

Do an arch on your elbows and try to push with your legs back to the elbows.

• Shoulders flexibility

Put your hands on something in your sholders' high, push your shoulders down so they will be lower then your hands. The second exercise is to put your hands together back on on the floor while sitting than try to get on your back without separating your hands.

That's it! bye!
