Doing flips will improve our flexibility, strength and will be a great variety to everyday training. Watch the video below, where the artistic gymnastics trainer Aleksandra Woźniak and the young gymnast Marysia Naumiuk show how to roll forward - step by step.

How to do a forward flip from a standing position

  3. Bend your arms forward while tucking your head between your hands.
  4. Perform a forward flip by pushing your feet off the mat so that you do not put your head on the mat during a forward flip. Perform a roll over your neck.
  5. Finish your forward crunch sitting upright with your arms up and your toes tucked in.
