   Is a back walkover easier than a front walkover?

   • The reason back walkovers can be easier than front walkovers is because you can just stand up normally from a back walkover. In a front walkover, you have to spring up out of a bridge. Stand in a lunge position with your arms straight up. While you’re standing straight, take a big step forward with your dominant leg, bending your knee as you do so.
