Quite a few muscles groups are required to perform the perfect somersault. The arms are needed to hold the body's weight; the abs stabilize the body and keep it from rolling to the side; the legs provide thrust as the body is lifted into the air and the gluteus maximus assists in the propulsion. Imagine then why this particular experience was fascinating to watch.

| "I can't move, I'm stuck her," she giggles. |
 |
| Her friends decide to give her a demonstration. |
Great activity for gross motor and self correcting.~Sabrina
