Another thing to add - a couple days ago DD showed me some poses that a 7/8 year old new optional had in her routine. It surprised me a lot!

DD has always been on the higher end of the charts for height, and the lower end for weight. After moving and picking up the hours in the gym, she is in the “normal” range for her BMI. (5’3” and 88lbs, 12 yo.), lots of defined muscle. Though, she wishes she was less skinny sometimes, as her...

We just paid for gym (around $650!!!). Thankfully, that was including insurance and registration with gymnastics Australia. I knew it was an expensive sport, but still We calculated how much it will cost per year, too (Big Mistake) I thought dd would maybe stop talking and annoying me about...

Yes and no. Coming from -25, it’s been quite difficult to adjust and dh is nearly dying, but it’s nice not walking around in a winter jacket all the time!

Hello again, it’s been a while since I last posted. Dd had her trial in the new gym (here in Australia) on Thursday, all went well. Because of our encounter with the bad gym in September, she hasn’t done gym for four months, but the coaches here say she did really well. Dd transferred to the L4...

She can control herself and conditions at home and can say no to the coach. Maybe she could just be there for the experience?

I recently posted a thread about how my dd is a self taught gymnast. On August 25th, we went to a real gym to enroll her in classes (we aren't moving until December). And there was, the old coach, who said she was too old last year willing to take her in. She started going to classes there twice...

When she walks *everywhere* on her hands. When you're in a train where there is a bar to hold on to so you have to keep on telling her "no pull ups" or "no leg lifts" When you go to a park with lots of bars, you will NEVER get her out.

Thank you for the websites, Carobc. They were very helpful. When I showed her the gymnastics progressions website, of course she had to want the most expensive one ( the one you linked). I definitely think she will benefit from it :)

Thank you, I'm glad it isn't like that :D

She can do a press handstand from standing, but not from sitting. She does do conditioning: 40 v-ups, 20 leg lifts, 15 pull ups, 10 long hang pullovers etc. She has 2 splits down. I'm wondering how much she should condition because I see her doing it for fun all the time and wonder if her body...

Thank you!

Thank you!

Let's hope this works.

It's set at unlisted, let me make it public for a while
