do bridges! this is me doing my bridge a while ago. they've gotton pretty crappy so make sure you do bridges every day!

Step 11 of 14

try to hold good bridges for 10 seconds each! then you should be all stretched out and ready to go!(:

Step 12 of 14

bridges definitely help to make your back more flexible and theyre an important step to getting a better back handspring!

Step 13 of 14

before ever trying a back handspring on the ground.. you should be able to do a back bend kick over easily and fast(: it'll help! when you first start back handsprings use a soft mat and have a spot!

Step 14 of 14

hope this helped!(: again make sure your bridges don't get as crappy as mine!;)
