HINTS TO BEGINNERS: One of the greatest benefits one can get from tumbling is in learning how to lift a weight correctly. The long leg muscles are the strongest in the body. The bottom man should always bend his knees to get under his partner and use his legs to lift. Keeping the back straight and the head up will also increase the lifting ability of the bottom man. The top man should endeavor to keep his weight in as close to the bottom man as possible while being lifted. The farther the top man gets away from the vertical balance line, the harder his partner will have to fight the force of gravity to get him back in balance. |
