I have always had the biggest fear of flipping. I couldn't even bring myself to flipping into a pool. After only 3 weeks on this program, I landed my first back flip. I can't even begin to tell you how amazing it felt!
Once it clicks, it clicks!! I landed my first backflip last Saturday and in only a week, I've probably done 100 flips haha. I love the progressions from this program. It helped me slowly break the fear in a manageable way.
This program is perfect! It's so well thought out. From the stretches and exercises to the whole system. Now that I can backflip, be prepared for tons of pics!
I didn't know what to think when I saw an online program for backflipping. I live in the middle of nowhere and I don't have access to a gym to learn. The price was fair so I gave it a shot. SO GLAD I DID! This program is so much more in depth than I originally thought.
Why buy a program when you can just youtube how to backflip!? Boy was I wrong. Nothing on youtube is anywhere near as much detail and proper programming as this. Thanks for such an amazing program!
Mission accomplished. I started flipping in week 3. I couldn't wait any longer and I felt so comfortable after practicing the macaco. I'm so excited! Thanks man!!
