Front limber

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Front limber is when a gymnast does a handstand, lands in a bridge, and then stands up. This is how it is done correctly:

1. Kick up into handstand, and hold it momentarily.
2. Push shoulders 'out' and arch your back, with feet together and toes pointed.
3. Bend knees until your feet land on the floor.
4. Immediately push the hips forward and push off the hands to stand up ending with arms overhead.

Tips: Look at hands throughout

1. Land with feet about a foot apart
2. Stretch back before doing a Front limber
3. If doing for the first time, do on to a raised surface (sofa, mat) as your back does not have to arch as much.
