How do you teach yourself to do the splits fast?

User Avatar

Asked by CheerToBe

There are two types of splits: one leg in front and the other in back, and each leg out to the side of the body. The fastest one to master is one leg to the front and the other to the back. Each leg out to the side requires more muscle stretching and conditioning, which should be done gradually to avoid injury.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes you can, but it depends on what your planning of achieving, if its going to the olympics, a very slim chance, but if you short, will start training 5-6 days a week for 4-5 hours, naturally very flexible, and determined then possibly you could go to worlds or olympics. If you just want to start, to have fun and be able to do the splits then yes of course its a perfect age. For any sport its fine, as long as you have fun and love what your doing you'll go very far! Just don't give up on gymnastics, because at first it can be very difficult then u get better and better:)

How do you do a back handspring tuck?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you are doing tumbling before it, such as a back hand spring, or if your just doing it standing, when it comes to the tuck these are the steps to follow.

1.) Do some warm-ups first. Like, jumping as high in the air as you can with your arms up to get the feel of where you stop in the air.

2.) When it comes to doing the flip, start with your arms up. Keeping your chest up use your arms to help swing you into the air.

3.) When you get to the highest point of your jump you will bring your knees to your chest and rotate backwards.

Keep in mind this flip will go fast and it does always happen the first time.

Make sure you have someone who knows what they are doing spotting you.

You can't just make yourself rotate backwards in mid-air. You have to initiate the rotation in pushing off the floor by pushing your hips forwards. Then when you tuck it speeds the rotation up.

How do you web hair for a gymnastics meet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some people call it the pineapple, and it can be a little time consuming, but if its done right it turns out very pretty.

Ok, to start i find it easier to do on straight hair so i straighten my before i do it.

You start by making a part about on inch thick going from ear to ear, not from back to front. then take a very very small colored rubber band (you can find them at the dollar store.) and at the top of the head you make a little hair square, then slower work down the part you made from ear to ear. Once that row is done, you start the next row, and and each time from the row in front of it you take half of on of the little ponies and put it in the new pony. you keep going like this until u reach halfway to the back of the head, then gather the rest of the hair into one big pony, then poof you are done.

When you are done it should look a little something like this.
