My DD is going across the country for two weeks to a summer camp. It's on a college campus, but I have found out that they will not be allowed to use the fitness center. She will be missing the two 30+ hour weeks of team camp (bad timing), and her coaches have warned she will come back month(s) behind her teammates. They have told her to condition where she can. She is committed to conditioning in her dorm as much as she possibly can. They haven't given specific conditioning to do though, and DD does much better with lists. Does anyone have a bodyweight conditioning list that can be done at home (or in a dorm room) that's used for gymnasts? She will be taking a book of body weight exercises, but I am hoping for guidance on reps and sets. She is (most likely) L5, training with the L6/7s at the moment, if that helps at all. Any one with a list they could put here or PM me would be much appreciated!
 
My dd had to miss a couple of weeks practices. Here's the list her coach gave her.


Hollow body rocks 4 sets of 30

20 press handstands

Handstand push-ups against wall 3 sets of 10

Regular push-ups 2 sets of 20

I would add:
triangle push ups 2 sets of 20
leg kicks to each side and behind 3 sets of 10 on each leg
toe raisers 3 sets of 25
frog jumps 2 sets of 25
fire hydrants 2 sets of 25 each leg
leg lifts - front, back, side (top leg, bottom leg, both legs) 2 sets of 20 each
handstand push ups against a wall 3 sets of 10

Depending on room layout and type of bed & frame, she may be able to do body lifts (legs secured, face down... lift up - helps if most of the torso is suspended over air)
 
What's a fire hydrant? The room will be two single beds, two desks, two desk chairs. Typical double dorm room.
 
Another idea (especially if she will have pool access):

· 5 (1 minute each) hollow body holds
· 3 (1 minute each) superman holds
· 3 sets of 20 back crunches (laying on your stomach someone holds your feet)
· 3 sets of 15 opposite alternating arm/leg raises on stomach
· 3 sets of 15 pike leg lifts, hands flat at knees

Day 3

list "stolen" from a team we compete against :)
 
What's a fire hydrant? The room will be two single beds, two desks, two desk chairs. Typical double dorm room.
On all fours... like a dog... raise a leg to "go" on the fire hydrant :)

In the case of 2 single beds, she may need to make friends with her roomie or another girl to help her (hold her legs).
