    WAG It happened in 2012!!

    interesting couple weeks at the gym...I was reminded that phones are a tool to improve my gymnastics and what happens when I let myself get distracted by a new man texting...pealing on a straddle back and slamming into the low bar with the back of my knees...oh wait, it gets better...then the...

    As of now, there are three of us planning on going to winter nationals with a potential fourth!!! I've been leading Sunday's practice like a class with all of us doing warm ups together on floor. I'm relearning to set properly for my layouts on floor. I actually think I set better when I twist...

    GikiGirl: are you doing the winter nationals again? I have been training the power tumbling much more than the artistic. I would love a new floor routine this season but I don't if that's going to happen. Really looking forward to Sunday's practice...I've been on vacation for the last week!

    Thursday I say the team girls doing straddle backs. This inspired me to play on the real bars instead of pit bar. I've been working pit bar for over a year because of my ankle. I had to relearn my real bar setting and timing for giants but it made me try a little harder! It even inspired me...

    Sunday was such a fun practice. We had 7 of us warming up together doing passes on floor! Started with leaps and jumps, then handstands, cartwheels, etc and worked up to RO BHS LO! Great workout!!

    I remember a wrist exercise we had to do. It's easy to make. Get a five pound weight, a four foot piece or rope, and something round that is a foot long with an inch diameter. Tie one end of the rope to the stick and the other to the weight. Stand with your arms straight and raised to...

    Thank goodness for foam! I wouldn't try half the stuff I do without it. Nicci, at least you know that you let go early...now you can fix it

    I didn't even realize that I did that much bars tonight but my hands are sore. Must be the heat because I didn't want to dismount into the open foam so I did my flyaway fulls onto a mat!

    Hello Ladies!

    I haven't been on chalk bucket in ages! Tonight practice was actually cancelled :( Something about 100 degrees and whatever...so I bounced on the trampoline and did some of the level 7 tramp routines. The ankle is about 97% healed and I have been having a lot of fun tumbling and working on...

    we call those froggy circles when you go around the bar in tuck position. I think that everyone can do them but me! I want to learn them too. Every now and then I miss a squat on and this would save a lot of energy!

    Yay! Started tumbling on the rod floor again. Went much better than I excepted. Cast handstand has been close, but I've been finishing my practice on bars instead of starting it there, so I'm a little tired. I love gymnastics!!!!!!!

    A new this week I accomplished.....

    Feeling good and loving gymnastics!! Bars is really coming along. Can make my cast handstand everynow and then. Working on form in casting, cutcatches are fantastics on the pit bar because I can get a tap swing on the low bar (the low bar is set really high). Working on fixing my twisting on...

    Gina: Yes, when we compete, we are with the kids from the gym, if we're on different events, he obviously stays with the kids. We are totally comfortable doing our own things, but it is comforting to know that your coach is watching. Spotting: If I have any doubt, I have my coach spot. Even...
