TURTLE

this is what a turtle is supposed to look like

This move is a float, not a spin. You move your hands on the floor to rotate your body, rather than spinning on your hands. Think of it like you're walking on your hands.
[1]Start in a kneeling position with both of your knees on hte ground, and your thighs apart. Your legs should be spread a little and bent up at the knee to help maintain balance.
[2]Lift your body with your hands. Keep your elbows bent at a 90 degree angle and under your body. Your hands go straight from your chest to the ground.
[3]Keep your elbows on your hips not in your stomach or at your side. Keep your hands far apart.
[4]you move by "walking on your hands in a pattern like a figure-eight on the floor as you spin.
[5]The spin is continued by shifting your weight from one hand to the next as you rotate and move your hands under your body. You can practice just balancing on your hands in the turtle position before you attempt the spin. This will help with balance and build up your strength.
