You need to start by crouching down with your knees totally bent and by being on your toes. Bend your arms and put your hands just above your shoulders so that you palms are facing the ceiling. Make sure your back is curved/rounded.Then push back with feet with your head tucked into your chest so that you won't injure your neck. To make it easier push your bum as far away from where you started as possible as this makes you do it faster which makes it easier. When you start to rotate keep your legs tucked and push off your hands so that you go over your head. and if you can try and finish on your feet... when you are first learning you normally end up on you knees! Some people get scared of going backwards over the head but you've just got to go for it!!... they are fun to do once you can do them! If you manage to get over and land on your feet try and stand up.Then if you really want it to look good you need to present.-- this means lifting your arms above your head and push them back as far as you can without arching your back too much- this is what gymnasts do when they have finished a move/ routine. Hope this helps!
