Round Off Gymnastics Tutorial - Tumbling Roundoffs for Dance, Cheerleading - Roundoff Backhandspring

[MoninjaChen]

MY NAME IS MONICA! OMG

[cjs3872]

Round-offs must be extremely easy to do. Why else could I do one the first time I even attempted one just after completing a cartwheel standing up for the very first time a few weeks ago. And I'll be 40 this coming August, and overweight by about 40 lbs. And I just do those kinds of things just to see if I can. But a major goal is to do a backflip by my 40th birthday, but with no accessible gym in my area, nor a trampoline, or spotter, it will be tough to learn with my fear of going backwards.

[bigboose11]

I can't do a roundoff :(

[Emilyr0215]

your round offs are very good 

[matson256]

can you PLEASE do a back layout tutorial????

[antonella4373]

when i try to do the round off i cant hold my feet up any tips?

[just2amazinggymnast]

what level of gymnastics r u in katrina?

[raras889]

did you learn round-offs in the circus or before you got there?

[kateisgreat00]

@ fitforafeast Is it weird that I don't know how to do a cartwheel but I know how to do a round off? I find it easier to do a round off than a cartwheel. Lol.

[raras889]

i mean do you have a tutorial on round-off aerials?

[raras889]

can you do round-off aerials?

[ItzCandyDuhhh]

hey when i try this..i cant get my hands up!

[JenLovesBeauty]

When I Do My Round-Off Both My Legs While They Are In The Air The Bend Is That Okay ?

[fitforafeast]

@JenLovesBeauty Try to keep them straight & feet pointed (you would be deducted points at a comp for that)

[JenLovesBeauty]

@fitforafeast Okay Thank You (;

[yikeserrs05]

can you do a tutorial for a roundoff with no hands?

[bhess99]

@yikeserrs05 a Brani???

[francescabral11]

@ fitforafeast

[shutupitsmyopinion]

[taystarRulezzz]

@shutupitsmyopinion but that makes no sence then bevuz during the round off's its cartwheel

[MegaSchoolGirl1]

[1492dancer]

i can do the round off but i just cant spring from my hands to my feet. (ie my landing is a bit awkward)

[awesomeness493]

hey can yal make a video on how to make ur self more flexible

[pinksnuggles82]

Could you guys do a front handspring tutorial because I couldn't find a fitforafeast one. Thanks!!!

[ShallTheTruth]

Can Sloane do a back layout and back tuck?

You both are great gymnasts

[fitforafeast]

@ShallTheTruth No - Sloane was never as into gymnastics as much as Katrina - she always liked dance more

[raras889]

@fitforafeast that explains a lot

[lilybee45]

cool!

[XRavenCyanideX]

I cant even do a regular cartwheel! I think it's because I don't have enough upper body strength to support my body while its in the air. Any advice?

[laurenboren94]

@XRavenCyanideX obviously just work on your upper body strength :) push ups and stuf :D

[AerobicsLover95]

hi katrina and sloane,

can you do a back layout and a back tuck toutorial

[fitforafeast]

@AerobicsLover95 we might - but one of our coaches thought it was too dangerous for people to try without proper training

[thedandomaster]

@fitforafeast you are soo right, my friend fractured her neck doing a back layout and her wrist doing a back tuck

[fitforafeast]

@jennalee81799 this was when sloane had a broken leg

[CatloverLisa]

@fitforafeast Why did Sloane broke her leg,Im curious and pls pls reply!

[fitforafeast]

@CatloverLisa she broke it skateboarding @ summer camp

[CassieNJennasAccount]

can katrina do a layout or back tuck on flat ground too ?

[fitforafeast]

@CassieNJennasAccount yes - both, you can see the back layout in the roundoff vid

[IceWiz101]

I love ur videos! I really need help on doing backhandsprings, back walkover, back tuck, and back layout. Can u give me some tips? Thx! :)

[fitforafeast]

@IceWiz101 We have a vid up on our channel for back walkovers & for back handsprings

[Gymnast4life56]

0:35 whoa her legs are straight

[ThePlanetchild]

when i do a roundoff from a lunge, i can land with both feet easily, but when i run and hurdle into it, i never can, and have little or no rebound. how can i rectify this?

[fitforafeast]

@ThePlanetchild Keep practing the landing with 2 feet together part first, then practice landing and rebound

[FAGchannelCF]

katrina, you are very talented! Your roundoffs are cool :) and when you flip at the end i go replaying ti all the time!

[EpicGymastics]

Thank you so much I just learned how to do a round off and it has been one of my dreams to do a round off

[EpicGymastics]

Thank you so much!

[randidanca]

Why doesn't the girl in the ny shirt do anything?

[HellasGal]

Hi Katrina and Sloane!

I just wonder, where did you et that air track?

Becuse I am from Norway, and we have the same one.

[IceWiz101]

Is back tuck the same thing as back flip? Pls answer thx!

[fitforafeast]

@IceWiz101 back tuck is like a back summersault in the air. Back flip isnt a proper gymnastics term - but it can also refer to a back handspring

[TheRociopaezchannel]

did you go to the circus when you were little ?

[LeeannaChui]

can you do a tutorial on tucks or layouts please??!! Thanks =D

[girlwithbluegloves]

[SPECTACULAR1340]

[sweetiepiekayla]

amazing just like you guys lol

[princesitadecubillas]

hahaha I'm learning a lot of vocabulary with your vids ;)

in spanish a cartwheel is "Voltereta lateral" or just "lateral", and "roundoff" is "rondada"

[fitforafeast]

@princesitadecubillas Cool! We think rondada sounds way better!

[princesitadecubillas]

@fitforafeast hahaha you think? xD

[zanessa1998]

Can you two do a tutorial on a back layout or back tuck? Thanks!

[littleRenesmeegirl]

Why don't you do Gymnastics anymore???!!!! :-O

But thank you, I'll try it in my next Gymnastics class! Hope it'll work! ;D

Fiona ♥

[fitforafeast]

@littleRenesmeegirl We do 16-18 hours of dance each week, so it is hard to commit to gymnastics too. Katrina still does acro gym each week though

[littleRenesmeegirl]

@fitforafeast Why don't you do a little less dancing and gymnastics! Or is dancing just what you want to do more? :D ♥

I had my first gymnastics performance today! It was so much fun!!! :D ♥

[fitforafeast]

@littleRenesmeegirl We chose to do dance - you have to be committed when you are in the competitive program

[littleRenesmeegirl]

@fitforafeast Ok! But will you still do videos with tips for gymnastics? They helped me alot, and I think many other people too! :D ♥

[fitforafeast]

@littleRenesmeegirl Of course - most of the gymnastics tricks we did tutorials for are also used in dance

[littleRenesmeegirl]

@fitforafeast Ok, thats great! Love ya'! ♥ :D

[gymnasticshelpful]

When i do my roundoff i leave my hands on the ground at the end and can't bring my hand's up do you have any tips? thanks

[fitforafeast]

@gymnasticshelpful When you see your feet coming close to the ground try to pop up your hands so you land more upright on your feet

[gymnasticshelpful]

@fitforafeast ok thanks

[22yer]

When i do a roundoff my hands slide bc im scared to flip myself over! Help!

[LeeannaChui]

can you do a video on a back layout or back tuck?

[LeeannaChui]

can you do a vid on a front handspring?

[MultiDancingstars]

wut level r u guys on and did u ever live in the USA

[fitforafeast]

@MultiDancingstars We no longer do gymnastics - just competitive dance but Katrina was provincial level when she stopped.

[sahel1cute]

@fitforafeast i thumb up every time i see ur videos

[fitforafeast]

@begymnast We don't do gymanstics anymore - just dance, Katrina was provincial level

[littleRenesmeegirl]

@fitforafeast Why don't you do Gymnastics anymore!!!??? :O

But Thanks, I'll try it in my next Gymnastics class! Hope it'll work!!! ;D

Fiona ♥

[ArdenIsKoolLikeDat]

i have 2 questions for you....

1) why is alexx's name spelled with 2 X's instead of 1? (not that its a bad thing)

2) the zacada circus school seems very dark and quiet, is it just your class there?

pleaze reply :) <3

[fitforafeast]

@ArdenIsKoolLikeDat Not sure why Alexx spells her name like that - but we like it. We filmed after everyone left so it was quieter - they have really bright lights for performances - but we liked it like this better.

[4evercelina]

Can Sloane do back tucks/front tucks?

[fitforafeast]

@4evercelina Not yet - she is working on them

[Dazzlestar96]

Thanks this really helped me!

Voula

Dazzlestar96

[ArdenIsKoolLikeDat]

y wasn't sloane in the video...like demonstraiting and stuff

[fitforafeast]

@ArdenIsKoolLikeDat We filmed this when she still had her cast on - we just edited & posted it now

[SerenaMermaid]

THIS IS ABASALOUTELY AMAZING OMG, Well donee I love your layout katrina its amazing! and i love how neat you can do it and cartwheels arr im gelous.

[SerenaMermaid]

WOW, all of you are amazing katrina i love your layout its so neat and beautiful:) and your friends did a good job i liked the cartwheel at the start it was very neat and straight:) welldone your talented !! haha:) ) thanks from serenaa :)

[Caitykittydisneyland]

Happy birthday then!!

[allyallyallyoop123]

Lol sweet! This was posted 1 day after my birthday :)

[dancergirl04eva]

Yay I can do one now!

[MrFizzypop012]

@KalexCullen I really hope your a girl!

[xopeacexoxox]

Wow! I already knew how to do a roundoff, but this helped me even more!

[LittleMissTutuz]

how did Sloane sprain her wrist?

[fitforafeast]

@LittleMissTutuz She didn't sprain her wrist - she broke her leg at summer camp

[ringuette4ever]

its true that the round off are good to use before doing your back handspring because if you run before doing your round off, at the end you will kinda feel

like it gives you a little swing so you cant jump and do your back handspring better... am i right ? cause once ill be ready to do a back handspring i think i will need to do a round off first

[fitforafeast]

@ringuette4ever Yes - like Kosta says it is good to jump up or slightly back after your round off so you can go into your back handsprings. It is a way to turn your body & get momentum for your tumbling pass.

[ringuette4ever]

@fitforafeast

oops, i mean you CAN jump and do a Back handspring ...

hahaha key board mistake :P sorry

[KalexCullen]

Monica has nice muscles!

[GuineaPiggiesPigs]

Where's? SLoane?

[fitforafeast]

@GuineaPiggiesPigs We filmed this before her leg was better (she broke it at summer camp in august)

[GuineaPiggiesPigs]

@fitforafeast Thank you. I was just wondering, canu d a Q&a video?

[fitforafeast]

@GuineaPiggiesPigs We answer FAQ's in our 7 million views vid

[fasafiki]

Cool video, I can do the round off with 2 hand and one, but I tried without any hands and sprained my wrist. Thanx for a gym video, was really cool

[KalexCullen]

A circus?! wow!! I saw you said it was a camp, but how exactly do you attend there? just in vacations?

I have problems with my roundoffs. I can't get my hands to get off the ground on time. I am scared of being on the air, but that's what I actually want by performing the tricks. Were you scared at some point? Or were you never scared? I heard that when you start at young ages you aren't scared when you grow up.

[fitforafeast]

@KalexCullen They have lessons all year but camps in the summer. Can't say we were scared with round offs. Try doing them slower at first (easier if you can already do handstands). Might make you less nervous - you can also ask a partner or spotter to help you

[ArdenIsKoolLikeDat]

can u do a video on how to do a no handed round off

[fitforafeast]

@ArdenIsKoolLikeDat Just watch our aerials video but put your legs together in the air to land like a round off

[wampatoga]

Oh and no I'm not a gymnastics guy, I just used your handstand tutorial because I learned how to flair (breakdancing) but I wanted to learn to airflair so I could combo. And I just do that to show off. Gotta bring something fresh to school every year right. This year was breakdancing. By the way, good tutorial for handstands but you forgot to mention STRECH YOUR BACK. I almost broke my back because I was coming off a serious fracture from getting nailed into the ground by a 300 pound free

[oceanoverlooker]

whenever i do a roundoff i always end with one hand still on the ground! any tips?

[CassieNJennasAccount]

That thing that Monica is on is really cool :P

[LeeannaChui]

merry christmas girls and great video!!!

[liljjrockz01]

I love Kosta's voice

[hollybolly33556]

btw i dont think that your meant to do cartwheals like the one the gurl did at 56:00 because i thought u were meant to start facing forward ...

[fitforafeast]

@hollybolly33556 We always do cartwheels to the side. We do front walkovers facing forwards.

[KalexCullen]

@hollybolly33556 actually, you can do them facing forwards and to the side

[ruthar19]

WOW katrina you are very talented and flexible!!!

[stephersislove]

haha until I saw the string at the end I thought you were holding them up and I was like "Hola Muscles!"

[fitforafeast]

@lizzystewart13 We did a camp at the circus school - it was so much fun! We do have a few more videos coming out that we filmed there.

[TheAmericangirl21]

That was so cool! I am starting gymnastics after my cheerleading season is over. I can't wait!

-Lauren, TheCoolgirl202

[AltmuligSara]

thanks......! =)

[dogloverforever100]

Katrina are you happy that dance is a sport now

veronica

[fitforafeast]

@dogloverforever100 I would dance no matter what!

[live2dance72]

AMAZING

[JasmineAlli]

I have tried you splits videos but what other advice do you have to getting your splits?? I am a dancer, cheerleader, skater, and gymnist and its kinda strange that i dont have my splits yet... Is it possible for someones body just to never be flexible enough to get the splits??

Oh and you girls should make a formspring so you dont have to scroll through comments like this to answer question :)

[fitforafeast]

@JasmineAlli We have 3 videos on the splits - try mixing up your stretches, adding on extra minutes of stretchin every day, and working with a partner

[cheekyterier]

thank you so much! all my friends are in cheerleading so they know how to do all the tricks and im the one always there in the background with only some tricks...this really helps alot!

[CassieNJennasAccount]

If we are doing this on a carpet of something, you can't rebound after you hit the ground! And I was told you put you left hand faces sideways, and your right hand facing like it does for a cartwheel like facing forward, is that true??????????

-Jenna

P.S- I like that Monica girls outfit :P

[fitforafeast]

@CassieNJennasAccount You can put your hands down like that when you are learning - it helps train you to twist the body. To rebound, you push up with your legs - press up from the floor. We also do them on wood floors for dance

[AmtrakSilverStar]

Very helpful video. Thanks for sharing!

[Canadiangirl931]

@gymnasticshelpful when you have your hands on the ground flick you hands and push off it will give you more height then you need to kind of snap that sound prevent your problem!

[JustMeGymnast]

Cool, next coud you do a back tuck tutorial I have alot of fun whatching your tutorials

[sarah1496x]

awesome! have you guys ever considered irish dance? :) greaaaaaat video ((:

[Number1Gosselinfan28]

Why wasnt Sloane with you guys?

[fitforafeast]

@Number1Gosselinfan28 Her leg wasn't completely healed when we went to the circus school

[Number1Gosselinfan28]

@fitforafeast Ohhhh...I see...Merry Christmas!!!

[mcgd711]

So everytime I do my roundoff I always end up doing a cartwheel what I try to land with to feet but then I fall any tips?:)

[fitforafeast]

@mcgd711 Make sure you are putting your legs together when they are in the air, and bend your knees after you land before you spring back up

[CharlieTV122]

iLove The Back Layout

-Charlie

[sweetferuza]

whats the name of the one on 1:33 ?

[fitforafeast]

@sweetferuza That is Katrina doing the back layout

[gymnasticshelpful]

when i do my roundoff at the end and i land really heavily on the floor have u got any tips to help me with this?

[fitforafeast]

@gymnasticshelpful Try to hold the part where you are upside down on your hands a bit

[maxpopple2017]

That was realy helpful and amazing as always Love Ya ~ Jenna B.

[123koliko321]

Good Video :)

[Tieganrox2468]

i have the same shorts as Katrina

[kh0reenzahne]

Can i still make gymnastics lesson even im 16 already?

[fitforafeast]

@kh0reenzahne Absolutely - you only need to start really young if you want to get to the olympics. But for fun and exercise, you can start at any age.

[ElinaXxXAlaura]

That place looks really fun! I'm glad you put a new video up, I'm sick in hospital and all I've been doing here for past three days is watching all your videos! It's kept me entertained lol, elina

[fitforafeast]

@ElinaXxXAlaura Sorry to hear that. Get better soon! Katrina & Sloane

[sweetiepiekayla]

I love your videos they get better each day

[intelligenceisnot]
