How to learn a back flip in five minutes now you got to remember to focus some prepress I would recommend are the bridge stretch a back roll and just being in general shape with that being said let's get started on learning the back flip in only five minutes so you starting off you don't know what to do you and the back flip you guys are just friends you know what not even friends you guys are like frenemies talking behind each other's back hurting each other mentally and physically but now I'm gonna show you guys how to become friends the first 15 seconds I just want you to get used to jumping we're gonna jump okay and I want you to jump with your arms - so you're gonna jump off your legs off your toes and power your arms up jump for the first 15 seconds jump see that power jumps okay you're using your whole body your lower back your legs your arms drive up into the sky now for the next 15 seconds I want you to jump but I want you to then drive your knees up a little bit you don't have to drive them up into your chin just drive them up a little bit don't eat your knees just drive your knees up so power don't drive your knees up like that how or jump drive your knees up like that power jump drive your knees up like that very minute power jump drive your knees up don't do any leaning back or anything like that yeah so you're what like 30 seconds in to give yourself 15 seconds of rest for the next minute I'm gonna show you guys how to take the backflip from from just friends to close friends we're gonna learn the backwards roll so I want you to sit down like this what you're gonna do is you're gonna do a backwards roll so you're gonna roll on your back bring your legs over and then end up on your knees your toes stand up alright but we're gonna do that with a little bit more power so for the first 10 seconds of this minute just work on getting the technique down now you can choose a side so choose a left or a right side to roll over so you can lean your head like he is though you want to do both sides so whichever you choose first do the second one the even amount of time so 10 seconds to be slow roll 10 seconds we're gonna quick rule to the side on one side for the next 30 seconds what you're gonna do has a more powerful roll and you're gonna work on driving your legs up and starting to feel a momentum so up our role sounds like some kind of microwavable dinner don't eat that though all right power rule yeah we're getting used to kind of going upside down p.m. all right you're about a minute and 45 in we're gonna take another 30 seconds you know no no let's take 45 seconds to stretch it out I want you to do this stretch right here look up and they're gonna come like this do those two stretches right there that'll help loosen up the spine all right so now you're feeling pretty flexible be sure you stretch out the neck too so now I'm gonna take you guys from close friends to besties by learning the macaque ooh so the macaque ow is you're gonna pick a side just like the backwards roll but you're gonna put one arm over and this is where the bridge stretch helps out because you kind of need this flexibility so squat down palms out in front of you like this but the fingers are gonna go back so they're gonna go down like this then you're gonna drive everything up and you're gonna you're gonna go over that arm like that keeping pressure on this arm so I get down like this palms out in front of you fingers up I'm gonna pick a side put your palm down facing inwards so facing kind of that way and then drive your body up over this really helps for the cheat gainer but it also helps with the backflip because it gets you in the air upside down so boom okay so kind of understand that technique for the first 15 seconds so really get the down okay work on the fluidity and trying to use less and less of the hand over the next 30 seconds so okay it's less and less the hand and then work on dragging your hands up going into that okay watch me now oh man all right okay now you're like three minutes and 15 seconds saying you got another 45 seconds before you have four minutes for this 45 seconds this is crucial you're gonna slowly switch your machaca into more and more upside down all right so almost like a back handspring and I want you to really really focus on driving the knees up and feeling the momentum shift so feel the momentum shift with the macaque ooh so okay I'm feeling that momentum shift I'm getting really really light boom see that get more and more upside down well can you put two hands down
