Who else does other sports besides gym? I do martial arts and I'm fairly new to gym. I used to be a cheerleader but switched to gym to try something new. I love gym and martial arts has like been my life for a while now. I'm afraid that as I get more into gym I'm going to have to pick one or the...
I'm sure you won't be the worst one there. And if you are, so what, you're going so you can have fun. I've never been to gym camp but I have been to camps for other sports. It is so much fun! Bring lots of leos and changes of clothes because you go through a lot. However many you think you need...
You will only get out of gym what you put into it. If they don't want to work, they won't be good gymnasts. If they don't like gym, then doesn't it suck to be them? If you like gym, and you are willing to put in the work to get good at it, then don't quit just because of them.
Well I'm still fairly new to gym but it looks like I am going to have to give it up for a bit. We had an ice storm here and I was outside yesterday and ended up with a broken ankle today. I'm really bummed out because I was just starting to really like gymnastics and I don't really want to be...
My cousin does NAIGC. She was a level 7. She said there are some people on her team that have some tumbling experience but no gym experience (learned tumbling from cheer), and they are doing just fine, learning as they go at their own pace. She loves NAIGC and said it is really laid back and...
I'm a little bit of a dork cuz I actually don't mind conditioning because it is good for you! My older brother and sister are also big into sports and really athletic so they do stuff with me sometimes. That makes it a lot easier, like when you have someone else to do it with. Some of the...
Yes, that is a good point Redford. I guess I just like some extra practice since I'm rec, and don't spend a ton of time in the gym. So nothing really dangerous, but I wouldn't mind doing simple stuff and maybe some extra conditioning.
What kind of gym equipment does everyone have at home?? I got a low beam for my birthday this year and I've been trying to beg my parents for a pull-up bar for my room.
Well, today we did fitness testing in PE class in school. I think a lot of people suddenly have a lot more respect for gymnasts now that I kicked their butt (especially the guys, haha)!!:D
Ahh, I just got asked to homecoming last night :)
I'm so happy but a little anxious because I've never really been to a formal dance before. At least I have older sisters to help me out!
Like others have said, you're a gymnast and you should be proud of it! Don't worry about how feminine non-gymnasts are because you are not one of them. Many guys find us fit athletic girls to be pretty just the way we are, at least according to some of my older guy friends!
I wish we had uniforms in the US. I'm not really into the latest fashion statements and i end up getting made fun of a little because of it. Not that I really care about that, I just think its dumb for people to worry so much about what they wear. At least with a uniform, you wear what they tell...
Do people you know respect gymnastics and all the hard work we put into it? My family and other gym friends obviously get it, but most of my other friends seems to think its easy. "All you do is flip and stuff". They've never tried it they have no idea that its not that simple!! Even my...
