- Hi, I'm Whitney and welcome to Egypt.
We are here in front of the Great Pyramids.
Today we are going to learn how to do front walkovers.
Me Sphinx it's time to get started.

A front walkover is a skill of flexibility,
so you might want to do some stretches before you start.
A good stretch is a split.
The most important stretch
of a front walkover is the bridge.
(mysterious instrumental music)
You might want to lift your leg up,
'cause that is the position of a front walkover.
(mysterious instrumental music)
Another stretch is your shoulders.
You need shoulder flexibility to open your shoulders
to get your foot on the ground and to stand up.
(mysterious instrumental music)
This is what a front walkover should look like.
(mysterious instrumental music)
The things that you will need to do a front walkover
is to reach down at least two feet.
Secondly, you must be able to kick over
and onto a bridge with one leg.
You must be able to go from a bridge up to a stand.

A front walkover is a very fun skill to do.
You can do a front walkover at school, in the grass,
even on the beach, or at home,
but before doing gymnastics in the house,
make sure to ask permission from your mummy.

So let's get started.
First you want to start with your good leg in front.
Now, reach down to the floor.
You want to bend your leg and go up to a handstand.
Then you go down to a bridge and immediately,
when your foot touches the ground,
you use your flexibility in your hips to push yourself up.
A good tip is for when you put your foot down
to lean your shoulders back, like that.
That will take most of the stress off of your back.
Another good tip is for when you're in the handstand,
or the bridge, to push your hips forward
when you're coming up
and always keep your head back in a front walkover.

Here's some fun facts about the Pyramids.
Did you know that the Great Pyramid has
over 2.3 million stones, some weighing up to 70 tons?

This is Houston, as you know, but when he's in Egypt,
he likes to be called King Mutt.
(kissing)
Also remember to be careful while doing a front walkover
as you can injure yourself.
Houston, we have a problem. (laughing)
- It was the camel.
- Join us next week, when we do
(groaning)
back walkovers in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
