Cartwheel

Here is how to do a cartwheel:

1) First make sure you are prepared. Have enough room and that you are wearing strechy and comfortable clothing. Also, you may want to put you'r hair up so it doesn't get in your face.

2) Extend your arms straight above your head. Don't bend your arms and keep your hands turned in towards your head, with your arms against your ears.

3) Point one foot in the direction you will be going. Turn the other foot slightly outward, for better balance.

4) Reach with the same hand as your pointed foot. For example, if you pointed your left foot, use your left hand until it touches the floor. Your other hand should follow. While the first hand is going down, the opposite foot is coming up. Keep both hands in the same line that your feet started from, and your hands will point perpendicular to that line.

5) Kick powerfully so your legs come off the ground. Now you are balancing your weight on both of your arms, like a handstand, with your legs straight in the air and out in a straddle/split position. Keep your back straight.

6) Look at your hands. Keep them super straight, firm and balanced. This will help keep your body in control and will aid your aim, agility and balance. Keep your trunk in a straight line from shoulders to hips. You should be turning in a position reminiscent of the spokes of a bicycle. If you're not, then try again and again until you get it.

7) Land on the opposite foot. Do this facing the direction you came from, front leg slightly bent. This should be the same position you started in, but with the opposite leg forward and both feet flat.

8) Straighten out, Your DONE!!!
