    Gymnasts Retired Gymnast Wanting to Stay Strong

    Just do gymnastics conditioning. the same stuff you used to do at the gym. But, you will never truly be as strong and fit in some ways as you used to be. Because the endurance and muscles you use just to go to practice and run routines and everything can’t always be worked during conditioning...

    Gymnasts Xcel Gold help

    See, my coaches could be wrong, but I was told that we couldn’t do two separate back hip circles. It was either two different circling skills, or a double back hip circle. Even if the OP could do a back hip circle on each bar, unless they have a Kip or an uprise there is no good way for them to...

    What to do when I feel like I'm not good enough?

    But how can I tell if this is just a phase because I’m watching some tv show about it or if it should actually be a consideration for my career?

    Thank you for the advice! I got skates as an early birthday gift but my parents made the condition that I either had to pay for lessons myself, or just do open skate every week until they have recovered the money they lost. Then they will start paying for lessons as my new sport. As for the...

    What do you mean by that? I am not trying to scam anyone. Should I not have asked for breeder suggestions? I’m so sorry if I did something wrong.
