    Hello everyone, it's Anna! I haven't been on here for nearly two years (I think) but I stumbled across it the other day and would just like to say hello to everyone again and hope that everyone is well! Does anyone have any updates on the old crowd? Kisses and thanks xx

    Hips and Legs

    Practice your kicks. Also, hang on the bar with 3-5lb weights on each ankle and pull quickly into your splits. This is awesome.

    Warm-blooded gymnasts?

    No, not me! I always have freezing cold hands and feet. Doesn't help that my mum opens all the windows and turns the fire and heating off when its snowing outside!

    Healing rips

    I used teabags and slept with socks on my hands- a good tip is to put clingfilm over the rip before the sock so you don't rip off the new skin when you take off the socks :)

    Eagle gymnastics move on bars?

    If you hold out your hands in front of you like you were holding onto the bar (knuckles pointing away from you) and turn your hands 180 degrees counter clockwise, that's an eagle grip.

    Off Topic 2010 Vancouver Olympics!

    It's a tragedy for the athlete :( May he RIP. The opening ceremony was very cool, although the BBC's sound was off and it was doing my head in.

    Coaches comments

    Wow, I thought the girls would be much older when I read the first paragraph. That's out of line IMO.

    protein shakes? What do you think?

    I'd avoid them like the plague, they don't seem natural to me. I think they can also be quite unhealthy, my old coach was very very clear that no one in his team was to even think about taking them.

    Staying in shape as a former gymnast

    I've REALLY struggled with this the past couple of months, especially as we've had a lot of bad weather which means I can't walk to as many places as I normally would do. I found swimming is great for toning up, and walking is really good too-I try and walk instead of getting a bus. I also...
