Stand up.
Keep your feet under your shoulders and straighten your frame. Stand up with your legs and back straight and your hands at your sides.
Crouch down.
Bend at the knees and hips to tuck into a compact position. Crouch down onto your knees.
Start to roll.
Lean back slowly and accelerate as your back hits the floor. Roll backwards, onto your back
Join your legs.
Tuck your legs together as they rotate through the air. Put your hands just below your hips to hold your legs up into the air. (Like a back stand.)
Swing your legs overhead.
Use the momentum from your roll to swing through the motion. Let your legs fall backwards to your side.
Sit up.
As your feet touch the floor, use your hands to prop yourself up. Use your arms to help you sit back up.
Stand up to finish.
You can pop up with a little gusto to make a show of it, if you prefer. Get back on your feet and take a bow. You’ve done a backward roll!
