11 TIPS HOW TO DO A BACK WALKOVER
#Make sure your arms, especially the shoulder area, are strong enough. This is crucial. Without enough arm strength, you '''cannot''' support your body. If you are not strong enough, trying a back walkover can be hard and very risky.
#  Something that might help when you are practicing is to walk your hands up and down any wall.  This will help you get the feeling of a back walkover.
#Learn how to do a bridge [[Do a Back Kickover|kickover]] (with straight legs) before you start because that will get you in the right range of motion.
#Check out the [[Do a Back Walkover for Beginners|walkover for beginners]] to see if that helps.
#Make sure you have a spotter especially if this is your very first time. (If this is not your first time and you have not done one in a while have some one spot you.)
#Put your ''leading'' leg in front. Probably if you are a "righty", you feel like putting your right foot in front, and vice versa for "lefties," but that may not be best:
#*Sometimes if you are a "righty" you may put out your left because your right leg is stronger for kicking off, or if you're a "lefty" you may put out your right because your left leg is stronger.
#Put your arms straight up above your ears (your arms should be straight beside your ears, not touching) and look straight ahead. Imagine that your arms are glued above your ears. It's easier if you try to look at your hands but don't tilt your head back.
#Bend backwards. Make sure you arch your back!While bending backwards make sure you push your hips forward. Shift your weight more to your feet so you don't just fall onto your hands.If you do you could really hurt your wrists.  Although your natural instinct is to bring your feet together and do a bridge, don't!
#Begin to raise your lead leg going back as if you are doing a split in the air, then when your hands touch the ground push off with your supporting leg in one continuous move.
#Land as gracefully as you can--lead foot and then the other--so it looks good one foot at a time, but it all happens very quickly.Bend your knees a bit with your arms out in front so if you go over too fast and fall you can catch yourself.
