Instructions

    • 1

      Pick which side of your body you will lead with by stepping forward and leaning like you would start your cartwheel. Whichever side feels more comfortable is the one you should choose.

    • 2

      Start with both hands above your head.

    • 3

      Lead with your comfortable leg by stepping forward while stretching for the ground with first your lead side arm and then the next.

    • 4

      Your arms support your weight while your lead leg gives you the momentum to flip over. Your lead leg lands last.

    • 5

      Strike a pose! You did it!
