If you want more ways to do them, we used to do the middle splits in acrobatics by lying on the ground on our backs with our butts and legs against the wall, then spreading our legs and trying to get a 180 degree angle. Gravity helped us out a lot. If that didn't work, our instructor would push down on both legs. It hurt, but it was a good type of hurt. It helped our flexibilities a lot. \n\nAlso, another way we did this in China was to be between two balance beams (or chairs, or anything off the ground that is stable) and do a split on the balance beams. With all your weight pressing down your body, it really helps flexibility. The problem with this exercise though, is that you really have to have the splits down already, and be able to do oversplits too. Otherwise, it won't really work. But once you get the splits, it shoudl be no problem for you. Good luck!

I thought it was really difficult to do. You may have wrong form and that's why it's easy for you. The best thing for you to do is go to a local Pilates studio that has classes and just join one class to get your form correct. That way, when you go home and watch the videos you will know what to do.

practice. squat while swinging your arms backwords for momentum. as you begin the backflip swing your arms forward and up while you spring with your legs up and backwords. best to try this into a pool or a foam pit. this way you land on something soft if it does not workout. as you lift off the ground tuck in word (some put their chest between thier legs) and watch for the ground as you begin to land. that is the best i can explain it. try practicing into a pool or something soft so when you land it is soft. you don't want to land on your head.

a great back exercise you can do with the swiss ball is to lie on top of it so that your waist is the part touching the ball.  have someone hold your legs so that your whole body is horizontal on the ball.  then put your hands behind your head and lower your torso down, and then bring it up as high as you can...and repeat.  this is a killer...might take some time to work up to it.

Similar to Astro's answer, you can lay down on your back and have someone else stand with their feet behind your shoulders.  (Your head will be between their feet.)  Hold on to their ankles or legs and, while keeping your legs completely straight, lift your legs to their chest.  At that point, your friend will push your legs back down to the ground - but don't let your feet touch!  And keep doing it -- raise your legs/have them pushed down/raise your legs...It really works!

Nope.  When people are on your back, their body weight triples because you have balance them first...then try and do a push up.  I'd guess you'd have to have a 400 lb. bench press to be able to push up your own body weight...and a 250 lb. person on ur back.

Yes...extra weight (especially in the stomach area) can cause back problems.....also try getting a good mattress.

Yes, you can its called over exertion. Sometimes it can be the bodies way of warning you to slow down or maybe you have used that muscle too much in a short time period.\n\nI have just recenlty got over a bad back. Dont listen to people when they tell you to wear a support when carry heavy equipment etc. Just rest until the pain goes and then just take it easy when you return to work.\n\nThe more you get reliant on a back support, it weakens the muscle that it holds in place. Therefore, making the back more vunerable. It might be worth drinking protein drinks when after any physical exertion. These supplements are not just designed for body builders but for general purpose. Thats how our bodies remain strong/ and get stronger. The types of foods we eat in this day and age dont provide us with sufficient protin levels so we have to make up for it in some way.\n\nI had a very bad back and I noticed a significant difference when trying these. Hope this helps.

Its all about how you feel and how you ride.  If you tend to do more freeriding you want an alpine style setup (positive angle on front binding and 0 or positive angle on your back binding).  If you do more park or street rails you want to go duck footed (positive angle on front binding and negative angle on back binding).  Try differet setups out to see what you like best and remember its all about personal preference and everyone's setup is different.  The more traditional, beginner setup is +15 degrees front, and 0 degrees back.  I myself ride +15 front and -12 back.

Yes I can, unfortunately people with no arms or those paralysed from the neck down will have a more difficult time trying to do this.

go to tumbling classes!!!!  I do not know how much I can stress that.  If you can't really tumble or look as if you have no potential in tumbling, you won't have a good shot making the team.  Also work on jumps, this means stretching and working out your legs for more power.  Email me if you have more questions, and I can give you some advice.

I'm a snowboarding instructor and it is super easy to do.  To start come in regualr and really it is about elbiow position and take off, depends on whether you are going frontside or back side.  If backside try to redistribute your weight so that you take off of your nose, rotate your shoulders, becasuse where your upper body goes so does your lower body, remeber to twist that head around to spot your landing.   If going frontside, lean back a little more, so most of your weight is on your back leg. try to take off on your tail, same time rotation constant rotation of your shoulders.  If you want to spin faster bring your arms and shoulders in toward your body.

Hey girl i got your back.  \nOK i know how to do this cuz im in the humble high school kit kats and we are "walking it out" to that song ok. Well the person above me is right, you move your legs, but you also move your hips and put a little hand motions in there you dont want to look dull with you just moving the lower part of your body, get krunk get creative girl. You dont have to follow how everyone does it you make it your own. Okay like say your left leg is moving left you. Move your right leg the same way.  and the right moving right. move the left leg with it. But dont pick your feet off the ground like on releve:which in ballet terms means to pick your heels off of the ground. and just keep practicing you will get use to it. But in that part where he says "now hit the dance floor" get your hands above your head and slap them on the floor in front off you. and when she says "and you your back low" you put your left and right hand on your right leg bending down sort of and you left leg straight. you know get your back low. and i am tried of typing so if you want to know more of still dont get it. Just tell me girl email me. remeber i got your back. :-)

Bulk up on your arms and upper body.  Then you won't have anything to worry about.  Don't throw your head back; just let it go with your body.  Arms by your ears and tight.  Just freakin' do it.  It's a trampoline!!  Actually, on a trampoline, no hands is easier.\n\nYou might start with more back walk-overs.  Then you won't have the fear of falling backwards as much.  I have fallen on my head so many times doing back flips.  Don't worry about it.\n\nBut wait, do you have any gymnastics training?  If not, back handsprings may be out of your league and you shouldn't be trying them anyway.  Try a gymnastics or tumbling class.
