Support Swing - Parallel Bars

In this gymnastics lesson you will learn how to do support swings on the parallel bars. This is one of the most basic techniques and should be learned before you try more complex skills.

Technical description: Support Swing - Parallel Bars

* Keep elbows, knees and ankles totally extended. Press down your shoulders and extend your body vertical. Try to keep your arms totally vertical and don't allow your shoulders to move more than a few cm. Never hollow your back.
* Swing your extended legs forward up and keep your shoulders as still as possible. At the highest point the feet should be slightly over bar level and the body should be rounded a bit. You should be able to see your feet for a moment. Elbows, knees and ankles totally extended. Don't let your shoulders hang.
* Before your legs start falling again, push your hips up and extend your body totally. But don't hollow your back. Then swing down and backwards up. Don't bend your elbows or your knees. Don't hollow your back.
* Swing up until your feet are slightly over bar level and keep your body totally extended. Don't hollow your back. Also don't round your back. Keep your abs contracted slightly and make sure arms and legs are fully extended.
* Swing back down and keep your entire body straightened. A common mistake: Hollowing the back and bending the knees.
