How Do You Do A Forward Roll?
• Balance on the balls of your feet in a squat position. • Hold your arms out in front of you to help you balance. • Put your hands on the floor. • Tuck your head in and start to roll forward. • Roll slowly onto the back of your shoulder region. Imagine your head as the center of a wheel and your body rolling around this central point. Always aim to roll on the shoulders to protect your neck and back. • Push off with your feet so that your body will roll right over. Keep your legs tucked in as you roll. • Push off with your hands and back up onto the balls of your feet. • Reach your arms out in front of you to help yourself get your balance. For beginners, you may want to start on a slope. It will be easier going down hill.
