How to learn how to do a cartwheel by S H

"Try and Try again"

How I did it: I told my boyfriend I didn't know how to do a cartwheel. He took me outside and coached me through it, giving pointers like "fling arm, fling leg- create momentum!" etc
I'm still not perfect- but I can land on me feet :-)

Lessons & tips: I learned to jut DO it. The hardest part was throwing myself towards the ground, and trusting that I wouldn't die- liek I had told myself.
Once you attempt it one time, you will want to try and do it again... and again...
It's very freeing

    I have been weight training my arms to allow me greater strength, and doing push-ups and planks, and then i think i’ll begin learning a handstand against a wall. I’m giving myself two months to learn ths, but im not sure if thats realisitic!

    nearly doing handstands! 14 months ago

    So my pilates instructor David (he’s brilliant by the way!) has been helping me alot with building some strength in my arms to do a handstand, which apparently is step one in doing a cartwheel. He’s got me doing all sorts of reps with 8kg weights! And I’ve managed to stand on my hands a few times with him or the wall or both supporting me.. so am I on track? Hope so!

    I tried to practice doing cartwheel’s a bit when I was at the beach on holiday recently, and my friend caught me on my camera! How sneeky of her! You can see my few hillarious attempts here:

    Ok, so I can’t do perfect cartwheels, especially not on my right side (because that means kicking off using your left foot, and that’s my weaker side). BUT! TOOOOTALLY worth it!!!! lol! :D

    mini tip :) 16 months ago

    hand. hand. foot. foot. draw a giant circle on the ground, and try doing a mini cartwheel thing round the line. when you have that perfected, make the line straighter and straighter until perfection!!!

    So, I am 17, right? I should be able to do this, right? But I am scared out of my mind to do this. Something about being upsidedown isn’t natural to me. oh,well. guess i will just have to move my couch and try. it could be tons of fun!

    I want to do it :) 16 months ago

    I want to learn tumbling, and I believe this should be one of the first steps. I’ll just have to practice a lot.
