Somersaults Don't forget to use a trained spotter when learning these skills! Considered very basic elements that even a preschooler should know, these skills can still result in neck damage if done improperly; so use a trained spotter to lift your hips until you can correctly tuck your head in, hold your weight up on your hands, and protect your neck.
