Complete training on the forward lunge to handstand on floor
Correct execution of the forward lunge is of inestimable importance in gymnastics. It's the connecting move between standing and the upside-down position.
Whether it's to do a handstand or a cartwheel, or after a run-up to do a hurdle, it needs to allow you to go upside down while maintaining rotational speed, staying in the right axis and "attacking" the floor effectively.
The training on handstand focuses exclusively on the holding phase on the hands.
In this training, we'll be focusing on the part that comes before this balance: the inversion via a front lunge.
In the first section, a technical analysis shows you the correct placements for doing a good front lunge.
Next, the teaching section is made up of 6 steps over 4 videos. There you'll find different skill progressions and the key exercises that will help you teach this forward lunge to your gymnasts.
Enjoy the exploration!
