[lyriclover575]

how old are you both heere??????

[fitforafeast]

@lyriclover575 11 & 12

[leannele333]

Fitforafeast! When I'm practicing my bandbend with the wall, i feel like im gonna fall because a lot of my weight goes on my arms which makes me stand up so i wont fall.. i also dont have a spotter to help me while do my "backbends" with the wall and without the wall, i sometimes hit my head or get really scared... HELP?!

[fitforafeast]

@leannele333 try lying on the floor & pushing up into a bridge - build up your strength doing bridges & you will build your confidence

[Belieber645]

leannele333 my name is sara i'm in school of ballet you can do it...

[misscommenterrater]

@leannele333 i sometimes have the same problem. make your hands sticky with something, or exercise to make them sweat, so you'll have more of a grip. then you have to just be brave and confident!

[CannonballMV]

Thanks, i can almost do it but more practice.

[lilgymnasticskid11]

this was uploaded on my birthday when i was 9 ;P

[sugerray7]

my mussels in my legs hurt and tips on what i should do? :) love your videos

[JoannaRsite]

WOW!

i will can this too!! °-°

[jeaa201]

it acctuallly worked thankns alot guys

[doglover10181]

u have a big house

[flexibleforlife]

you guys are really flexible. im starting tumbling soon and your vids really help

[sugerray7]

how flexible do you have to be ? i cant do the splits yet but i just started strechingfirst of febuary. do you have to have a spoter?

[fitforafeast]

@sugerray7 this is back flexibility - splits are legs. Having a spotter is always a good idea when you are learning

[Smurf0098]

thank you! i could never fall back into a bridge but with your tips about my arms, i got it that day :)

[SkyeHamiltondancer]

I can rock back and forth for the bridge but I never have enough power to kick over. I can do it off of a bed or the wall but not a pillow or stuff like that. can you make a tutorial on a bridge kickover?

[fitforafeast]

@SkyeHamiltondancer we have a back bend kickover vid on our channel

[Babykaylah13]

@SkyeHamiltondancer i hope they do that too

[IloveBubbleGumxox]

Do yous make videos every time yous are at each others houses or just when you get requests? xox :D

[fitforafeast]

@IloveBubbleGumxox we make them when we have time - usually on a weekend

[lpsvampirekitty]

you guys R flexibal wow

[tanalgec]

fantastic girls...go ahead

[blackshadow567able]

Ok thank you I only can put my hands next to my ears and push me up into the bridge like that but I couldn't do a backbend I'm to scared when I do it I'll probably just fall on my head and back and this will hurt badly :(

[fitforafeast]

@blackshadow567able it is best to have a spotter if you decide to try

[blackshadow567able]

@fitforafeast Thank you guys yes I'll try it one day when I think my back is flexible enough for it but first I do bridges because I feel it streches my back to but I'm not very sure that bridges streching the back? Please answer thank you

[blackshadow567able]

@fitforafeast Thank you guys yes I'll try it one day when I think my back is flexible enough for it but first I do bridges because I feel it streches my back too but I'm not very sure that bridges streching the back? Please answer thank you

[fitforafeast]

@blackshadow567able bridges do stretch the back - move your feet closer to you then further away when you are in the bridge & you will feel it

[blackshadow567able]

@fitforafeast Thank you again you're guys are great ;)

[kawaiiwarrior]

@blackshadow567able i have the opposite problem...

[sesshyforever21]

i was actually already a natural at this but, watching this is actually helpful and i hope to go into flipping backwards soon too

[QutieMissTrudy]

wow one shirt says dance and the other says misic

[andreaxxfarrellyxoxo]

katrina i sent you a birthday card and nice little present let me know when you got it hope you like it :)

[macjones2001]

i can fall into a backbend but i cant kickover! any tips

[fitforafeast]

@macjones2001 try having your feet higher up (like on a couch) and push up into a bridge (best to have a spotter) Try kicking over when your feet are higher - it is usually easier - then you can keep making that lower & lower

[doggielover3001]

i keep practicing my bridges against walls an i feel pretty comfortable with it but how do i know im ready 2 do a bridge without a wall

[fitforafeast]

@doggielover3001 ask someone to spot you

[misscommenterrater]

@doggielover3001 i asked my dad to hold his hand on my back while I bent over, but not to do anything unless i fell. when you go back, just look for the ground and put your hands on it. it's actually not that hard. :)

[sugerray7]

@misscommenterrater me to my sister is proble the closest thing to a spoter i have :)

[settigirl1998]

another way to stretch your back is to do a scorpian

[settigirl1998]

another way to stretch your back is to do a scorpian.

[5656lauren]

[fitforafeast]

@5656lauren no - just friends

[Kittylove219314]

HELP!!! I really cant do a standing back bend but i can do a bridge i need help. I just really dont understand the concept

[fitforafeast]

@Kittylove219314 try the walking down the wall trick

[36jamiestewart]

wow that wall thing helped thanks

[36jamiestewart]

wow that wall thing helped alot thanks

[TorresSessa]

I practice parkour and free running, and some of these gynastic movements are also incorpored to the Free running.

I'm always watching videos of how to do aerials and this stuff and they never say what you have to train first to be able to do that movement.

You girls make it so easier teaching these exercises. XD

I hope I get flexibility enough to help me with tricks, mortals and parkour ;p

[ViperaLezim]

1:14 :s

I can't do it!! 

[blackshadow567able]

@ViperaLezim Me too I only can do a bridge not a backbend

[PrincetonLover4va]

[fitforafeast]

@yochbffs123 you might be naturally flexibile - see if you are sore tomorrow LOL - you will get better with practice then can try using less & less with the wall and do it on your own

[yochbffs123]

@fitforafeast o okay thannk you u nevere thought i was flexible but once i watched your videos i tried them and instantly i did the splitz and backbends! (: thank you you rock love your vids!

[yochbffs123]

[angely3001]

nice thanx guys i really learned how to do a back bend and @cupidgurl15 until ur ready

[cupidgurl15]

@angely3001 ohh okay thanks for telling me.

[walktheroadtosuccess]

I would suggest voicing over rather than saying everything while your doing the positions, because your voice might sound tired or strained at certain positions......

[TheVivi2002]

i loved it but i am a brasilian so i can't understand everything

[KASSEROLE11]

Maybe you guys shouldn't wear such short shorts...unfortunately there are lots of yucky people on youtube >.< Besides that though, good job!!

[walktheroadtosuccess]

@KASSEROLE11 But you can't wear pants or long shorts in gymnastics, besides it's normal wear in gym.....

[kenzie111111118]

@KASSEROLE11 there just kids



[shuppawig]

@KASSEROLE11 they arent even shorts.. they are bike pants. they are made for excising and that stuff..

[antonella4373]

Hello katrina and sloane my name is anastasia and i am a beginner.. today i learn to do the splits and the carthweel (2 hand) but i cant do this any tips?

[fitforafeast]

@antonella4373 it just takes practice - make sure your back is warmed up & practice agains the wall

[antonella4373]

@fitforafeast thanks

[antonella4373]

Hello katrina and sloane my name is anastasia and i am a beginner.. today i learn to do the splits and the carthweel (2 hand) but i cant do this any tips?

[cupidgurl15]

I have a friend who wants to start but she's 19, she wants to know if she's too late? she used to do gymnastics when she was younger and continued off and on but hasn't done it since she was in 8th grade.

[fitforafeast]

@cupidgurl15 if you want to do something - you should go for it at any age

[cupidgurl15]

@fitforafeast okay thanks i'll tell my friend. by the way how long did you practice the walking up and down the wall? Does it really help?

[fitforafeast]

@cupidgurl15 it does help - do it to get more flexilbe & the feel of a backbend - then try to do one going as far as you can without the wall - try to use the wall less & less each time

[lanceisastud]

@cupidgurl15 Definitely not too old. Find an adult class at a local gym. We have a lot of people in my class who haven't done gymnastics since elementary school and many who are brand new to the sport. It's never too late to start.

[dalisoken]

sometimes the best people to learn from are the ones 9 years younger then u

[BellaHopeBallantyne]

I can do a backbend, but I cant get back up. I have to just smack on the ground. Does walking down and up the wall help with that?

[fitforafeast]

@BellaHopeBallantyne yes - that will help you with recovery

[cupidgurl15]

@fitforafeast how often do you have to do the wall up and do before you can do it without it?

[n75dance]

The trick that helps me the most is to go down as slow and controlled as possible. Also, as they mentioned in the video, look at your hands while you lower yourself down.

[Raybay2810]

It's easier for me to do a backbend on my bed so that way if I fall on my head it won't hurt me

[rosaleena442]

@fitforafeast i got all the other stuff down but i cant kick over please oh please help me!!!!!!!!

[PrincessMonmonmizati]

im too scared to bend over from standing up! help me!

[fitforafeast]

@PrincessMonmonmizati try walking down the wall or ask someone to spot you

[fitforafeast]

@PrincessMonmonmizati try walking down the wall or ask someone to spot you

[jonnieb4eva]

@PrincessMonmonmizati A way to start beginning and practicing is to, for starters, always have a spotter, be stretched, and has a soft surface.

The way i got my backbend was by practicing outside on a hill. The hill made the surface that i would catch my self on easier and closer. You can also do this by standing with your back facing a couch and just bending over. Once you feel you've mastered that, try making yur elevations for backbands more difficult till u can do it!

[fitforafeast]

@PrincessMonmonmizati ask someone to spot you

[cupidgurl15]

@fitforafeast how often do you have to practice the wall trick before you can do it your self?

[fitforafeast]

@cupidgurl15 you can try to go down as far as you can without the wall & just put your hands on it when you feel you need help - try to go a bit further each time

[terianne100]

Omg, the wall technique helped me soooo much!! Thanks !!(:

[andreaxxfarrellyxoxo]

i need my backwalkover for my gymnastics teacher i only have like two weeks too learn it do you think thats enough time i have my backbend but cant kickover or go back with one leg in front please help :O

[1237Awesome]

[jamieleblond]

Will you hurt yourself if you wall when doing it by the wall? Would you say the wall is the easiest for beginners? I can do a bridge if im laying on the floor but i cant go down?

[jamieleblond]

Anyone who thinks they said fat at 2:53 she said "You can bonk your head if your like that" They never would say anything about over weight people that is mean!!!

[skyesellar99]

@fitforafeast I thought u did say that u said said u can bonk your head like if your really fat I'm sorry if that's incorrect that's just what I heard and sorry again if I got it wrong

[fitforafeast]

@skyesellar99 LOL - she said if you're like that (with your hands down not up)

[MsPeanutkitkat]

I'm doing the stretches your telling me 2 but its not working my back hurts when I go 2 lean back

[SweetKandiez]

@MsPeanutkitkat that means your just not flexible enough overall..

[sweetferuza]

i can do the bridge but i can't out one leg up to walkover......and i don't have a spotter. what can i do?

[JaidynLynzee]

Like if you're wondering how the heck did I get here?

[1237Awesome]

ooo nvm i was thinking of something else

[1237Awesome]

2:53 thats is mean she said fat people cant do that

[fitforafeast]

@1237Awesome ??? she never said anything about fat people - we would never do that

[david323ish]

@1237Awesome she said if your like "that"

[mizzmist]

@1237Awesome no she said like that but ur comment brightened my day

[Tieganrox2468]

@1237Awesome what did u think she said i dont get it

[MelonRoc]

@1237Awesome No she said, "If you're like that" when she was demonstrating what would happen if you had your arms crossed over your chest.

[NoelleBiancaSinging]

@fitforafeast

im double jointed in my arms(which makes it hard for me to try to learn gymnastics) and at 0:54 my hands cant go that way any suggestions?

[harleyvs0709]

i can get into my back bends but i cant get up.i know its cause I`m to weak because my arms always wiggle.do you know any stretches for strength because ill be able to do a handstand and this if i wasn't so weak.please respond!!

[fitforafeast]

@harleyvs0709 you can do push ups & chin ups for arm strength. We also have a newer vid out with backbend kickovers, plus our walkover vids, which have extra tips

[harleyvs0709]

i can get into my backbends but i cant get up.i know its cause im to weak because my arms always wiggle.do you know any stretches for strength because ill be able to do a handstand and this if i wasn't so weak.plz respond

[jeremy2max]

wait, i usualy make bridges with my leg closed, do U think it ok or should i do it with open legs?

[fitforafeast]

@jeremy2max learn with whichever way is easier (usually shoulder width apart) - you can always learn other ways after

[bemsesfie]

youre cute! <3. but, are you born that flexible??

[RoxyBabe012]

I tried the wall one and my head only hits the floor and it really hurts what do i do??

[emm589]

[MrFlyingKicker]

[Qwert123620]

How do lift yourself back up from the bridge without the wall?

[victoriajusticerock1]

BACK BACK HURTS WHEN I DO THIS WHAT DO I DO

[fitforafeast]

@victoriajusticerock1 make sure you are warmed up first & increase your back flexibility with stretches (we have a back stretching vid on our channel / website)

[nf094e]
