How to do flips at home?

Published in Home Gymnastics 2 mins read

Doing flips at home can be fun and a great way to get some exercise but requires caution. Based on the YouTube video Learn 5 Easy Flips ASAP - How to Do Without Just Sending!, here's a breakdown of how to perform a simple 360-degree flip:

Simple 360 Flip Instructions:

To perform a basic 360 flip, you will need to follow a few steps. This involves a combination of jumping, swinging, and rotating your body in the air:

  1. Starting Position: Begin by standing straight, with your feet shoulder-width apart. You can also start with a small jump.
  2. Swing Legs and Arms: As you jump, swing your legs and arms up and through as if you are trying to bring them up to the sky.
  3. Kick Up: After swinging, kick up with your legs. This gives you extra momentum for the flip.
  4. Twirl Around: Use the combined momentum from the leg swing and kick to twirl around in the air. Try to keep the rotation smooth and controlled.
  5. Landing: Aim to land facing the same way you started the jump, completing a 360-degree rotation.

Things to Consider:

  • Practice: Start with small jumps and practice getting the leg swing and arm movements coordinated before attempting the full rotation.
  • Space: Make sure you have enough clear space around you to perform the flip without hitting anything.
  • Safety: Always prioritize safety. Start on a soft surface like a mat or grass, especially while you are learning.
  • Gradual Progression: You may not get it right away. Focus on understanding the motion and build up to the complete flip over time.
  • Spotter: If possible, have someone spot you the first few times to ensure you don't fall and hurt yourself.
