As you fall, you arch your back to land on your hands, then spring up off your hands to land on your feat.
Here are some stretches you can try before doing a back handspring: 1  Stretch your back by doing a backbend. 2  Then, do a counter-stretch by curling up into a ball on the floor and hugging your knees to roll out your back. 3  For an extra stretch in your back, stand up and touch your toes. Place one hand in front of you, as if you were saying âStop!â and then gently pull back the fingers of that hand with your other hand. 2  Repeat with the other hand to get a deep stretch in your wrists. 3  Then, roll your wrists clockwise five times and counter-clockwise five times to finish stretching them.
