To do a front handspring, follow these steps:
1. Warm up: Begin with a light warm-up, such as jogging or stretching, to prepare your muscles and joints.
2. Proper stance: Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart. Keep your arms relaxed by your sides.
3. Approach: Start by taking a few steps back to gain momentum. Swing your arms forward as you take a step forward with your dominant leg.
4. Jump: Push off with your dominant leg and jump forward, swinging your arms overhead to gain momentum.
5. Tuck: As you reach the peak of your jump, tuck your knees to your chest, bringing your body into a tucked position. Look forward and keep your head up.
6. Push off: Extend your arms forward and downward, using them to push off the ground and transfer your weight forward.
7. Land: Aim to land with your feet flat on the ground and slightly in front of you. Extend your legs and arms out to help stabilize your landing.
8. Follow-through: As you land, allow your momentum to carry you forward, stepping out one foot at a time to maintain balance.
9. Practice: Repeat the steps, gradually increasing your speed and power until you can perform a smooth and controlled front handspring.
Remember to practice with a spotter or under the guidance of a trained instructor, especially when attempting new or advanced gymnastic skills.
