SPLITS: SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, YOU NEED TO STRETCH YOUR LEGS REALLY GOOD. START BY SITTING ON THE FLOOR WITH YOUR LEGS APART, BEND OVER AS FAR AS YOU CAN (TRYING TO TOUCH YOUR CHEST AND STOMACH TO THE FLOOR INSTEAD OF YOUR HEAD) WITH OUT BENDING YOUR KNEES. THEN STRETCH TO THE SIDE, LAYING YOUR ENTIRE TORSO ON YOUR LEG THEN SWITCH SIDES...THEN KEEPING YOUR LEGS STRAIGHT GO AS FAR DOWN INTO A SPLIT AS YOU CAN....IT IS VERY INPORTANT THAT YOU KEEP YOUR LEGS STRAIGHT, EVEN IF YOU DON'T TOUCH THE FLOOR
BACK HAND-SPRINGS: YOU WILL MORE THAN LIKELY NEED SOME ONE TO SPOT YOU, OR START OUT ON A TRAMPOLINE...SO YOU DON'T GET HURT!...FIRST YOU START OUT WITH YOUR FEET TOGETHER, THEN REALLY QUICKLY AND SMOOTHLY, YOU NEED TO BEND YOUR KNEES (WHEN DOING THIS, YOUR BUTT SHOULD BE PARALLEL TO THE GROUND) THEN POP UP AND BACKWARDS AT THE SAME TIME, SWING YOUR ARMS BACK (MAKE SURE YOUR LEGS ARE STRAIGHT) AS SOON AS YOUR HANDS TOUCH THE FLOOR, PULL YOUR LEGS OVER AND REBOUND!
GOOD LUCK
AGAIN, VERY INPORTANT YOU WILL NEED SOME ONE TO SPOT YOU OR USE A TRAMPOLINE!!!

to do the splits u just gotta keep practising more and more and trying to straighten your legs for longer periods daily - so just like split it a teeeny bit wider than usual and even if it hurts keep it like that and count to like 20 - then 30 the next day and so on and after a little while you'll be able to do it straight :) i dont know what back hand springs are
