Gymnastics ! please help!

Hi there Gymnastics please help.

 I've done gynmastice for over fifteen years. Back bends are great for you and your flexability. Though you

need to take it slow. Start off by making your arms strong by pushups or lifting weights. Then you can try to push

up a bridge. Lay on your back and bend your knees. Bend your arms with your fingers facing your shoulders and

your elbows by your ears. Then your goal is to be able to push your belly button to the celing as if some one had a

string tied to it. You look for your hands as soon as you push up. Take it slow, if you don't get it the first time try

everyday. Your arms will get stronger. Don't forget to strengthen your legs. Walking lunges are great. To keep your

self safe don't do them standing, unless you have a spotter that has been trained. or had training. You could really hurt

your head if you fall on your head or neck the wrong way. Be safe and start on the ground.

Then you asked about handstands. Start by lunges and and some wall pushups. Then do some donkey kicks. Go down

to all fours and lift one leg up. Try to swing the leg thats up down and then back up lifting the other leg off the ground.

As you practice this you'll find which leg you like to do more. Make sure you do both so that you strengthen both.

Keep doing it and you'll find yourself getting stronger in your arms. When you get comfortable start in a standing position

and bend over touching the ground and lift one leg and hop. Then you come back up to a standing position. Keep that up 

and you will get stronger and stronger. Eventually you will want some one there to spot you to get balance. 

Well done and just try.

Hope you have fun and become stronger
