Answer by Tanya B
take a day of rest and when your soreness is almost gone just keep doing back handsprings. that’s the only way you can be sure to work the muscles that you need in a backhandspring. just keep doing them. And it’s pretty straightforward. if you want to get your splits, do them! hold it as far as you can go for about 3 minutes each side, every day.
