You will notice dryness and perhaps some swelling after the cast is removed.  Your skin may also look dry or flaky. Your muscles may look smaller than when you put the cast on, which is normal.  Soak your arm/wrist in warm water for 5-10 minutes. Gently dry the skin with a towel.  Use a moisturizing cream on the wrist and arm to soften the skin. To reduce swelling, take ibuprofen or aspirin as recommended by your doctor. It can take some time before you’re able to return to your full routine. In particular, you may need to wait 1-2 months to resume light exercise, such as swimming or cardio. Vigorous activities such as sports may require waiting 3-6 months. Take care to prevent further injuries to your wrist. Braces can help prevent future wrist injuries. Just because your cast is off does not mean you are completely healed. It may take six months or longer to heal if the break was severe.  You may continue to have aches or stiffness for months or years after the initial break.  Your healing process is also affected by your age and overall health. Children and teens tend to heal faster than adults. Older adults and people with osteoporosis or osteoarthritis may not experience healing as fast or as fully.

No matter what gymnastics move you're doing, you need to stretch first. You should at least stretch your ankles, hamstrings, neck, and wrists.  To stretch your ankles, sit down on the floor. Prop one ankle up on the other knee, and rotate it in a circle a few times. Do the same with the other ankle.  Stretch your hamstrings by pulling one leg up behind you while standing. Try to tighten your butt muscles while doing it. Switch to the other leg.  Rotate your wrists and neck to get them stretched out. Run a couple of steps forward. An make sure you have good balance when doing so. On the last step, bring both feet together, and punch into the ground, pushing yourself into the air.  You should land on the balls of your feet.  As you push yourself into the air, lift your hands to your ears, so that you are keeping your core tight.  You're not trying to flip right now. You're just practicing the jump.  When you land, bend your knees slightly. Once you get the punch down, add in a knee lift then push your body foreword as you jump up, pull your knees up into the air.  As you come back down, straighten back out.  Bend your knees as you land. One safe way to practice these steps is on your trampoline in the back yard. You can go through each of the steps in this section on your backyard trampoline to get the feeling of the moves.  When you start out on the trampoline, make sure you are tight. That is, keep your head steady and your body straight. You don't want your head and body flopping around, as that can lead to injuries.  Start by getting a bounce going by jumping a little forward into a punch. Once you've got the punch down, try adding in the knee lift. Before doing a front flip, you want to make sure you're getting as much height as possible. Really punch off the ground when you're jumping. In addition, it's really best to work with someone if you've never done it before. Try a gymnastics or parkour gym to get some tips. In addition, you'll have access to things like spring floors at these gyms, making it a whole lot easier.  Realize that if you're trying to do gymnastics as an adult, the consequences can be more severe than when you're learning as a kid. That is, as a kid, you only weigh 40 or 50 pounds when starting out in gymnastics, plus you're a lot more flexible. As an adult, you weigh a lot more, and you don't bend as easily. Therefore, it's easier for you to get injured.  You probably shouldn't try a front flip if you have back or knee issues, at least not without consulting a doctor first.
