How I did it: OK, Its actually been years that I have been wishing I knew how to do a cartwheel, and I have tried many times over the years, BUT, When I finally set my mind to it and figured out what I was doing wrong and actually learned the RIGHT technique, I have really only practiced every wkend for the past couple months and I think I have it down now. I still can't do one on my left side but I CAN do an actual cartwheel now so its all good. Yay!

Lessons & tips: I looked at books and followed directions given on the internet, Just Slowed down and followed the instructions. I had alway tried to run and do a cartwheel like I saw everyone else do and both of my hands would hit the ground at the same time and I would topple over, now I realize that you CAN do it without running and its hand, hand, foot, foot. I was always trying to make it harder than it actually was.

Resources: There is some good advice on 43 things, I also used a  gymnastic book for beginners from the library.
