I know this is a really basic skill, but i'm new to the world of gymnastics.
I'm sixteen and i've been doing gymnastics about a month.
I'm currently at a gym that is much more focused on rec gymnastics than competitive. My class is pretty big (with girls who can not even do cartwheels) so I don't get a lot of attention from my coach. My friend and I are looking to transfer to a more competitive gym to a level 1 or 2 team because we would like to do gymnastics more often.
So back to the topic...i want to master handstands. I can do pretty good straight legged flamingos. But whenever I try to go into a handstand, my legs either don't go high enough or they go to far and I fall the other way.
Is there any way for me to improve my handstands so that I can get up and stay up?
Thank you!
