You don’t have to do all of this, just some just suggestions based on my workouts. when you’re done, eat a vegan protein bar or two, some quinoa, some veggies and fruits. do it every day. If you have access to a gym, copy people. If you have access to a gymnastics gym, try back handsprings: throw your arms up, squat with your legs close together, swing your arms down, jump up and back into a back bend and catch yourself in a handstand and then jump down. For a back layout, start like a back handspring, but swing your arms as you jump into a back bend in the air, and whip yourself over your head and onto your feet. Practice tuck jumps: jump as high as you can, and straighten your  legs before you land. Try straddle jumps and pike jumps and split leaps and switch leaps. To do a back flip, jump as high as you can,do a summersault, and straighten your legs as you land. I don’t have these techniques anymore, but I understand how it’s suppossed work. Remember to nourish your body afterwards. For advanced techniques, use a thick and soft mat. Pray for wings.

Remember, you  have to be able to do summersaults and handstands to do intermediate and advanced gymnastics moves. You need wings to do it to. Always warm up with cardio and body weight exercises and then beginners techniques and intermediate. don’t be afraid to try advanced on a mat if you can visualize it. Ask God to help you as much as you need. Practice makes perfect.
