Question

hey! in gymnastics who has there front hip i cant get mine at all i try and try but i cant get it down,and who has there kep.

Answer 1

Are you talking about front hip circles on bars?? I had that LONG ago. I can help.

Look at your toes! Keep your hips close to the bar, right on it, moving around it, your hips should never leave. When you get over the bar, don't drop your weight, keep it tight to the bar and lightly fall over it and snap it around quick.

Do stretches like pikes and long bridges for shoulders. Get your abs working to with some sit-ups or something.

Also, make sure your wrists are the right way, have them on top of the bar, fingers going the opposite direction as you, don't have your wrists OUT.

Once you get your front hip circles you can work on your back, which are harder I will warn you!

Good luck!

Answer 2

In order to do a front-hip, make sure you push up on the bar before you lean forward. The bar should be on you thighs. The higher you push up, the easier it will be. Then you need to start leaning forward, arch a little, and then bend at the waist (not arching). Make sure you rotate your wrists.

As for Kips (if thats what you mean), make sure you don't tap the ground. After gliding, bring your toes to the bar, and push up on the bar, keeping your toes on the bar. It is almost like you are pulling on a pair of pants.

The most important thing is to keep practicing and never give up!!
