The Handstand Homework Mat

As a mom of a cheerleader, every open area of my home has become a place to turn cartwheels and every doorway has become a place to stretch. I have reluctantly watched my couch get ruined by flipping and bouncing, and become a master of catching lamps mid-air after being hit by a stray body part. My yoga blocks have become stunting blocks and my therabands have become stunt straps. I’m sure any cheer parent can relate!

When I owned a gym and actively coached, one of the most frequent questions I got from parents was “What can my child practice safely at home?” This can be a tough question to answer with a lot to take into consideration. Usually my answer was something along the lines of; conditioning, stretching, and handstands against a wall. Why handstands? A handstand is the single most important skill in cheerleading and tumbling. The handstand is the core and foundation of all tumbling skills, and as we move into more acrobatic stunting elements it is relevant there as well. If a tumbler is struggling in a skill, many times it can be traced back to a technical error in the handstand. The handstand is also a good exercise for conditioning as it involves multiple muscle groups working together to support your own body weight. It promotes strength, body awareness, and lessens the chance of injury.

Tumbl Trak has developed a new product designed specifically for practicing this fundamental skill at home, The Handstand Homework Mat.

http://www.tumbltrak.com/equipment/1:8:142/handstand-homework-tumbling-gymnastics.html

The Handstand Homework Mat is 9 ft. long x 2 ft. wide x 5/8" thick and is designed to easily attach to any door with slide-on clips and Velcro straps. It is reversible, and can be used on the floor as well. One side is a Cartwheel Mat (available in 4 colors) and the other side is carpeted and features a 6 ft. long, 4 in. wide white “beam” stripe.

My favorite part was the extra bonus that comes with the mat, the Handstand Homework book. The 60 page Handstand Homework book (included with purchase) demonstrates the shapes necessary to achieve the perfect handstand. It is filled with pictures of correct shapes, as well pointing out some common misshapes. The workbook also includes some fun “quizzes” about handstands, a “word find” and many other items a young gymnast will surely enjoy while learning at the same time! The book is progressive starting with basic, followed by intermediate, and then advanced skills and exercises. Each level has additional variations and super challenges within the exercises. Whether your child is just starting out or a Level 5 cheerleader- there is something to benefit every athlete in this book.

My 10 year old daughter, Cheyenne (a Level 2 cheerleader), had the opportunity to review this product. Her review: “I love the Handstand Homework Mat. It gives me a safe place to practice my handstands and I don’t have to worry about my feet pounding on the wall. The workbook is my favorite part. Until I used the workbook, I didn’t realize that I was not doing my handstands correctly. The workbook exercises were easy to follow and helped me get the right shape in my handstand, and I liked being able to write down my progress as I went along. I can already feel a difference in my back handsprings too and it’s helping me keep my head in. In cheerleading, we are tumbling in tight formations, right next to other cheerleaders. I used the mat on the floor with the beam stripe to help get my cartwheels, round offs, walkovers, and handsprings straight. I would feel really bad if I hit someone because I tumbled crooked. Now I know that my tumbling skills stay straight and it helps lessen that fear.”

Cheerleading industry professionals across the country weigh in on the importance of developing a proper handstand.

"There are really only two positions where an athlete derives power; from the standing position and from the handstand position. It stands to reason that a well-developed handstand with a strong core is important to tumbling safety and performance." Jim Lord, Executive Director, AACCA

"The handstand=building block of tumbling. Every skill from a RO to a double full is a form of a handstand. I think of RO's/BHS's as transferring handstands(arched=goes back) and then layouts/fulls/doubles as hold handstands (hollow=goes up). Transferring handstands must be more flexible and arched, while hold handstands must be straight, fighting off the arch. Most cheer and gymnastics coaches teach athletes to look at their hands while they tumble but I disagree with this technique. I explain to my kids that they don't walk around all day looking at the ceiling or run a 100 yard dash looking at the sky. When we walk or run we look straight, keeping our spine in its natural alignment. An athlete in a handstand position looking at their hands will always cause the arch in their neck to increase which then drives the hips down putting more weight in the arms. Imagine an athlete in a handstand looking at their hands (head out) and then flip them upside down in the same position. You will now be looking at the position in which the athlete will punch out of the handspring in. Their head will be arched back with their shoulders in front, the typical "your heads out" mistake. Looking at your hands causes you to enter every skill head first as opposed to arms/shoulders/head entering together. This is why I always tell my athletes to look at the wall they started from in handstands and to look at the wall they are traveling towards while entering a RO or BHS. Obviously when you punch into an air trick you change walls and look for the wall in which you started from. So basically if you want to keep going forward (or backward in a handspring) you look at the wall your traveling toward and then when you want to change direction and go up you find the wall you started from.. Although I'm talking about RO's and BHS's this is 100% about the handstand seeing as both of those skills end in a handstand snap down." Joseph Carpinetti, Owner/Head Tumbling Instructor, One United All-Stars

“Handstands are a fundamental building block for tumbling and stunting. A good handstand ensures that an athlete can bear weight in the proper position for all advanced tumbling areas as well as provide a solid core block for extended stunting elements. I believe handstands are a necessary mastered skill in all star cheer.” Mandi Spina, Program Director, Cheer Fusion Frederiksburg, VA

 “I tell my athletes all the time handstands give you the shoulder strength, core strength and overall body awareness to perform your tumbling correctly. Good handstands equal lower chances of injury.” Mark Galindo, Director at Elite Athletics, Springfield, MO.

“If you can't hold yourself up how do you expect to hold someone over your own head!” Holly Brucker, Coach, Kansas City Athletic Cheer.

“If it's not tight, it ain't right! I just wish more coaches would teach and preach CORRECT position in the handstands, not just get on your hands.” David Erlenbaugh, Tumbling director, Cheer Command, Mokena, IL.

"A handstand is like Jesus, it's everywhere in cheer and you don't even realize it. Older people laugh at me during tumbling privates when I spend a lot of time working handstands. Within five minutes they will see an 8 year old throwing a trick to full pass. They'll ask me, "how did they get so good?!!". My response, "they didn't laugh." John Migaiolo, Program Director, HDC Spirit Athletics

"I tell my athletes, it all starts with a great handstand, it can make or break your tumbling skills.” Kristine Ryan-McCoy, Owner/coach, Champion Cheer Elite Lebanon, MO.

"Every class starts with handstands, and we stress if you can't do a technically correct handstand straight and tight your other skills will more than likely suffer. We even stress to the parents the importance of handstands being practiced at home! Make it tall and tight to make it right!" Karen McKinley, President, owner and Head Coach. All Starz Gymnastics and Cheerleading, New Albany, Indiana

front handspring tips

Learning how to do a front handspring is important, since you can do one on vault , floor and even on beam. However, a front handspring has many different variations which makes it a tricky skill to master. The mechanics of a front handspring will change slightly if you are doing a front handspring step-out, a front handspring to two feet, a front handspring step-out that you are connecting to another skill or a front handspring to two feet that you are connecting to another skill. For most people a back handspring is easier to learn than a front handspring, although a front handspring is safer to learn.

For example, if you are doing a front handspring step-out that you are connecting to another skill, you will want to land your front handspring with your first leg slightly behind you, and your front leg bent in a lunge position to immediately kick up into the next skill. If you are doing a front handspring to two feet, you will want to land with your legs slightly in front of you so that you can rebound upwards.

Before you start learning a front handspring, you should have mastered a regular handstand , and be able to hold one in a tight body position.

How to Do A Front Handspring Step-By-Step

Here are the steps for doing a front handspring:

Step by step guide to doing a front handspring.

  • Land with your feet together and your arms lifted up towards the ceiling.

Step by step guide to doing a front handspring.

Tips for Learning a Front Handspring

Here are some tips for learning a front handspring.

  • Hurdle with a long, low step to push off the ground: You want your hurdle to be long and powerful so you can push hard with your legs off the ground.
  • Step forward and reach:  you want to reach for the ground with your arms by your ears
  • Block off your hands in a tight handstand position: You want to block hard through your shoulders and off your hands when your hands hit the ground to maintain your momentum.
  • Arch and Land: After you block off your hands, you want to be in a tight arch position until you land on your feet.

Newton’s Third Law of Motion

Newton’s third law of motion is an important physics concept that you should know in order to understand the mechanics behind a front handspring. His law says that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object simultaneously exerts an equal and opposite force onto the first object. The reason that this is important in a front handspring is because you need to exert a force onto the floor with your body, in order to block off the floor to propel you forwards.

Muscles You need for a Front Handspring

Arms:  You need strong arms and shoulders in order to push, or block, off the floor in your front handspring.

Legs:  You need strong leg muscles to push hard off the ground and drive your heels in the beginning of the front handspring, in order to give your body forwards momentum.

Core:  You need strong core muscles to pull your legs over your head and to hold your body tight throughout.

Exercises You Can Do at Home

Handstand Hold:  Handstand holds are a great exercise for strengthening your arms and shoulder muscles. It’s a vertical pushing exercise, which is what you will be doing in the middle of your front handspring as you push off the ground to land on your feet. You can practice holding a handstand against the wall , or with a handstand homework mat. Start with trying to hold your handstand for 10 seconds, and slowly increase until you can hold one for a minute.

lunges

Lunges: When you hurdle into your front handspring, you will be doing a similar motion to a lunge. So lunges are a great exercise to strengthen your leg muscles and improve your front handspring. To do a lunge, stand with your legs together and your hands on your hips (or if you are using weights with your arms beside you). Your back should be straight and you should be looking in front of you. Step one foot forward and bend both legs until your back leg is almost touching the floor and your front thigh is parallel to the floor. Make sure your front knee is above your ankle, and that your back knee doesn’t touch the floor. Stand up and repeat with the other leg.

hip lift

Hip Lift:  Hip lifts strengthen your glutes, which you need to push off the ground for your front handspring. You also use these muscles to control your landing in your front handspring. To do hip lifts, lie on your back with your knees bent, your arms at your side and your feet on the ground. Lift your hips toward the ceiling, hold for a second and then lower your hips back to the floor to finish the repetition. Make sure you are keeping your back flat and squeezing your butt.

planks

Planks:  Planks are a great exercise for strengthening your core muscles. You need strong stomach muscles to hold your body tight during your front handspring. You can do a plank exercise from either your wrists or your elbows. When you are in the plank position you want to be squeezing your legs, butt and core. Your shoulders should be over your elbows, and your body should be in a straight line from your head to your feet. As you are squeezing all your muscles and maintaining a straight-body position, make sure to breathe!

Front Handspring Drills

Hurdles : You can practice hurdles like in the video, or at home in your background. In the video, the gymnast hurdles onto a wedge mat against the wall. In your backyard, you can practice hurdles by taking a few steps (step-step-hurdle) and hurdling into another skill, like a dive cartwheel .

Handstand Fall to High Bridge:  In the handstand fall to high bridge you are practicing the beginning motion of a front handspring. You will do a handstand and then with control fall into a bridge with your legs landing on top of a block.

Front Handspring Over Barrel:  One drill for learning a front handspring is to do it over a barrel. You can either do a front handspring step-out, or a front handspring landing with two feet. If you are doing a front handspring step-out you might want to do a cartwheel out of it, to practice connecting it to another skill. To do this drill, mark your steps first. So then you can run, hurdle and front handspring over the barrel. You will want to have your coach spot you at first.

Front Handspring Off of Folded Panel Mat:  Once you can do a front handspring over a barrel, you can move onto doing front handsprings off of a folded panel mat. Make sure your coach spots you for this drill until you can do it by yourself. For this drill, you can either practice front handsprings to two feet, or front handspring step-outs. If you are practicing step-outs you might want to follow it with a cartwheel, to practice connecting it to other skills.

Front Handsprings on Tumble Track with Bands : Another drill for making sure you are learning your front handsprings with your legs and arms squeezed together is to do front handsprings on tumble track with exercise bands . You can see the drill in the video above.

what is more easy a front hand spring or a back hand spring??

' src=

Laura February 23, 2021, 1:26 pm

That all depends on you. The hardest part of a front handspring is the blind landing—really learning to know where your feet and body are in relation to the floor. The hardest, often scariest, part of a back handspring is a blind take-off. The back handspring is taught first in level progressions, which may make you assume the front handspring is harder, but the fear factor of taking off backward may make the front handspring easier to master for some gymnasts.
