Learn how to backflip in 5 minutes

Hello everyone, today I'm going to teach you how to learn a back flip in just five minutes. However, before we begin, there are a few prerequisites that I would like you to be aware of, these are the bridge stretch, back roll, and general physical fitness.

With that said, let's get started! When you first start, you won't know how to do the back flip because you and the back flip are just friends, but you know what? You guys aren't even friends guys are like rivals, gossiping behind each other's backs and causing mental and physical harm to one another, but I'm going to teach you guys how to be friends in the first fifteen seconds, just get used to jumping.

We're going to jump, but I want you to jump with your arms so, jump off your legs, off your toes, and power jump for the first fifteen seconds you should be using your entire body—your lower back, your legs, and your arms—to propel yourself upward for the next fifteen seconds then jump, but I want you to drive your knees up a little bit you don't have to drive them up into your chin; just drive them up a little bit don't eat your knees; just drive them up power doesn't drive your knees up in that way. Jump, power jump, drive your knees up like that very minut power jump drive your knees up don't do any leaning back or anything like that. So after about 30 seconds, you should take 15 seconds to rest before continuing for the next minute.

I will demonstrate to you everyone how to backflip from We're going to learn how to do a backwards roll, so from merely friends to close friends, please sit in this manner. You will perform a reverse roll by rolling onto your back, crossing your legs, and landing on your knees. Okay, so your toes should stand up however, we're going to do that with a little bit more force, so for the first ten seconds of this minute, just focus on mastering the technique. From there, you can roll over to your left or right side to lean your head like he is, but you should roll over on both sides. So, whichever you choose to do first, complete the second one for an equal amount of time. For example, 10 seconds will be spent rolling slowly, and for the next 30 seconds, you will quickly roll to one side and work on driving your legs up to gain momentum.

Up our role sounds like a microwaveable dinner, so don't eat it, but all right, power rule, we're getting used to sort of going upside down p.m. Okay, you're approximately one minute and forty-five seconds in we'll take another thirty seconds. No, let's extend it for forty-five seconds. this particular stretch You're going to feel very flexible now that you've looked up and done those two stretches that will assist loosen up your spine. make sure you extend your neck as well. I'm going to teach you guys the macaque, so you'll go from being close friends to besties. The macaque ow involves picking a side, much like the reverse roll, but you'll only are lifting one arm. This is where the bridge stretch comes in handy because you'll need some flexibility, so kneel down with your hands facing forward as shown. I'm going to pick a side, put your palm down facing inwards so facing kind of that way, and then drive your body up over this. This really helps for the cheat gainer but it also helps with the backflip because it gets you in the air upside down so boom okay so kind of understand that technique for the first 15 seconds so really get the macaco.

However, the fingers are going to go back so they're going to go down like this then you're going to drive everything up and you're going to go over that arm like that maintaining pressure on this arm you're going to gradually switch your macaco into more and more upside down movements, almost like a back handspring, so focus on driving the knees up and feeling the momentum shift. Okay, so it's less and less the hand and then work on dragging your hands up going into that macaca okay watch me now oh man all right okay now you're like three minutes and 15 seconds saying you got another 45 seconds before you have four minutes for this 45 seconds this is crucial macaque I want you to take a 30-second break.

Yes, that's right, 30 seconds to just focus. You're going to focus, you're going to feel everything. If you have a computer or a phone with you, I would recommend watching a slow-motion example of a backflip i'm feeling that momentum shift. I'm getting really really light boom see that get more and more upside down. Can you put two hands down if you need to. Congratulations, you just went from frenemies to friends to close friends to besties now you guys are going to get engaged.
