Back walkover
A back walkover is a gymnastic manoeuvre in which a person stands with their hands and feet flat on the floor and arching their back as high as they can, stretching all abdominal muscles, makes a gymnastic bridge. Then the person lifts one leg and pushes off from the ground with the other, while keeping their hands on the floor, using their back muscles to push themself through a handstand position, and controlling their handstand down until one foot, and then the other, reach the floor, ending in a normal standing position.
