I solely use the app, unless I need to adjust settings or something :)

Training is 3:45-7:45 and we get a 15 min break at around 5ish. Fridge and microwave available. There is no junk food allowed but it is not heavily policed ;)

A girl I train with had a hairstyle similar and she did a small braid a cross the front and around the side to some bobby pins to keep the ends out of the way. The rest was left down :)

Delta Gymnastics is situated in the Gold coast and depending where you decide to live in Brisbane will be more or less accessible. As far as I can tell/have seen they are a really tight knit gym with a really good team environment (girls are always cheering each other on at meets, they have...

Routines? Mainly floor and beam but the artistry can really reflect a gymnasts personality

A simple parkour corse? That's what our teen rec boys are really into at the moment!

Our acro girls (from level 3-international) work presses every training as well as other things. Depending on the levels your coaching it would change. If you could provide the level I could give you some more specific info

I'm a 16 year old level 6 and I can say that all the comps j have ever competed at I was not the oldest W(hen I was in level 4 I was 14 and level 5 I was 15). Apart from being the tallest in the height order line (if your gym even does that) there was nothing different between being older. I...

In my class if the coach is feeling nice we play stick it, but kind of altered. We usually play it in tumbl track but I guess it could be changed for trampoline and still be effective. A gymnast does her skill (front salto, round off backsalto or layout ect.) and they have to stick 5 then they...

Bum glue!! (Glue that is used for holding bandages up) I purchased mind from the local medical supplies store. It is possible to buy it from leotard stores like gk I THINK but I'm not 100% sure :0

16, 165cm... We don't do feet or inches here in Australia!

Our gym introduces twisting very early from what I can tell here. Our level 3 girls are given twisting drills in the warmup (jump fulls with correct twisting arms and on tubbl track front salto land jump full with twisting arms etc.) and by level 4 most kids have a front tuck half salto on the...

It's a bit of a shocker. Just can't seem to flick my wrists fast enough :)

Yes. Finally some evidence! I'm going to send this to my coach who has stated morning training from 6-8 weekdays. Wait till he hears about this :)

It depends on lots of things eg. Lengths of bar rotations Level of the user Type of grips From personal knowledge my grips take about 2 weeks to 'wear in'

In our rec program the children are tested twice a year (term 1 and term 3) and have to progress through 4 levels of Rec before going into team(ish) unless they are talent scouted by the head coach and put into squad. After testing the skills are put into a report card and sent home with the...

We do a drill that has 30cm crash mat set longways and a squishy wedge may set so the small end is on the short end of the crashmat. A scatter mat is put in front of it (I think that's more for roundoff) The gymnast will run towards the mat and roundoff on the floor then jump back Onto the...

My gym increases hours over the holidays. We have a small break from the 19th -27th and have New Year's Day off but we are training every day except Sunday from 8-12...
