A front walkover is a direct reverse of the back walkover.

REQUIREMENTS: handstands, backbend, split and back bend get-up

Step 1: this is called "The Entry"
When beginning your front walkover, think of it as going into a handstand with your legs in a split position. Start in
your basic lunge with your arms up by your ears. Use a lever position, keeping a straight line from your hands down to your back leg. Kick your legs up to a handstand split position as you put
your hands down on the floor.

your legs to the bridge position one leg at a time. It’s important at this point to put your dominant foot down close to your hands. (depending on your flexibility).

Step 3: As your lead leg begins to descend toward the
floor, you must open up and stretch through your shoulders. Shoulder flexibility and upper body strenght is a key factor to
your front walkover. Keep your body in an arched position with your hips pushed forward. When your lead leg makes contact with the ground, push your hands off the floor and use your stomach muscles and hip flexors to pull your upper body up off the floor.

Step 4: Finish your front walkover, with your lead leg firmly planted. Think about pushing your heel firmly into the ground as you pull your upper body up from the floor. Your backleg should stay straight with. toes pointed as it slowly follows the lead leg over, finishing in a tondue position with your arms still up by your
