Step 1
Lie on your back with your knees tucked up to your chest.
-
Step 2
Keep your hands open away from your body, directly over your shoulders. Your body position should now look like a dog playing dead.
-
Step 3
Roll up until all contact with the ground is in your upper back, but don't allow your knees to pass your head. You will probably only be able to hold this position for a few seconds, that's ok. Think of it as a spring loading.
-
Step 4
Place your palms on the ground under your shoulders.
-
Step 5
Kick up with your feet while simultaneously pushing off the ground with your hands. This should be enough to give you a lift off the ground.
-
Step 6
As you kick out, swing your feet underneath you with your knees spread out to the sides to create a wide base to land on.
-
Step 7
Lead with your navel as you rise up instead of your head; your upper body will follow if you can get your hips over your feet.
-
Step 8
You will mostly likely land in a crouching position, and then you can just rise to your feet.
