How can u get air in the front if you only changed the back calipers?

Ok...
The car could brake just fine..
I was putting in rear pads so i decided to bleed the brakes too..
I was bleeding my rear calipers... and I bled them and got all the air out... I didnt run the master cylinder dry or anything.. I tried to drive my car and the pedal goes to the floor...

Somehow air got in the front lines??
How is that possible.

k, this might sound dumb, but did you fill up your brake resevoir? beeing low on brake fluid would cause that just a thought.

Turn the key to the on posistion to activate the ABS pump.. acualy cycle the key on and off several times to get them to pump up pressure then leave the key on and bleed them again
