Performing a front walkover

Start in a lunge position with one leg in front of the other. The arm is strong above the head and begins to stretch forward in a T-level position. Kick your hind legs upwards like a handstand to push your lower body in the air. Instead of holding your legs together like an upside-down, keep your legs apart and your hind legs dragged behind you. Straighten your front legs and gently fall into your bridge. Lift your arms up to the ceiling and stand up straight to complete your front walk.
