For real all she did was say think about your legs being straight she didn't give you any progression steps or anything

[@dancingflamingo5570]

True

[@betchpng4958]

(Not a hate) She could have just said "lock your knees" and then showed everyone HOW to lock your knees instead of just doing a cartwheel.

[@kjcruiser7855]

Destiny Dayz yeah just criticism;)

[@patrickmingura5101]

She did. She said to contract the quadriceps..

[@RAVE4_]

@@patrickmingura5101 bro what does that even mean

[@musiclover-hg7mj]

Thanks this helped a lot. I never thought to use my quadriceps.

[@frisk450]

I broke my arm

[@SpideriMan]

[@blindfoldedmissile]

Your arms must be hella weak, wow.

[@ericasantiago2227]

I tried doing this right now and my arm almost broke my hands slippped my hands hurt imma never do this again without working out

[@bakekujirasilly]

Yall need to be in a soft surface if you are still practicing, i still do too. And then, try to make a claw shape with your hands to prevent injuries.

[@laneekersey238]

I am Google how do u lock ur knees??

[@betchpng4958]

Lanée Kersey It's hard to explain without a physical demonstration. They do it a lot in cheerleading though. Try looking it up. (if you haven't already)

[@lavishasingla5082]

Now?

no, 3 years ago

[@shakilabdulaziz9106]

For those people who still cannot get there front leg straight it is probably because your hands are too close to your body. When you are putting your hands on the ground try to keep it about 10 cm away from the ground, which will allow your to contract your front leg when it is leaving the ground.

[@victoriaravenclaw773]

Hey guys🤗 Does anyone have any actual tips on how to keep your legs straight? My cartwheel is pretty good; my legs are straight, feet pointed and everything. But I simply cannot accomplish that in my side aerial. I've been doing side aerials succesfully for more than a year now, but my form is just bad😔 I really want to improve it, any tips?

[@teddyreddinger1916]

The problem for me is that I can’t tighten my quads while I’m doing a cartwheel any tips for that?

[@lindsaybrunson6373]

Samthing that helped me was doing a handstand if u can on a wall and just practise with that. hope that helps

[@teddyreddinger1916]

I did that technique it helps thanks

[@lilyanglim1283]

This lady does a cartwheel from the side your meant to be forward

[@sophierene8221]

No, there's two ways to do a cartwheel, you can do any way.

[@aderogbaadetola453]

Another tip: u can also point ur toes while ur foot is in the air.

[@cw8796]

[@rachelmackie1618]

This was not helpful as she didn't even do it right she faced the wrong way at the beginning of her cartwheel u are supposed to start in a lunge

[@brooklynnmoran7654]

You start in a lunge for beginners Rachel

[@valueofapotato3753]

@@brooklynnmoran7654 no actually starting in a lunge is the general way to do a cartwheel. Facing sidewards is sometimes called a baby cartwheel. We call it that at my gymnastics club.

This was terrible advice. Did not work at all. Someone who is bending their leg is having trouble engaging their quadricep. Just thinking about it did not help.
