    Shocked

    Sorry if this is in the wrong spot. I need to vent. Okay, this all started about 4 years ago. I was doing gymnastics at a YMCA, but I didn't like the coaches. They were really mean and they made you feel really bad about yourself. So I quit for the summer. In the fall, we looked into a new...

    Crooked Back Handspring

    I used to have this problem. It may be because she is putting more weight on one arm or bending one. That was my problem. If that is the case, have her work on straightening out that bent arm.

    injuries??

    This isn't really like something I messed up on but a while ago I broke my toe doing a handstand. I was doing it against the side of my couch. The coffee table was near it and it had to straddle in and out to avoid hitting the table. I was sitting in my handstand and my dog walked in and charged...

    What do you like to do on your days/day off from gym??

    Condition and stretch in front of the TV while I watch either my gymnastics meets to look for improvments or an elite meet that I recorded on DVR.

    Parents Whats for dinner?

    Dinner after practice I often have lean pockets. They come in so many kinds and they are healthy and quick. I also sometimes have a bowl of cereal with some fruit on the side.

    Make-Up

    Just wondering: Do you wear make-up to competitions? If so, what do you wear? I wear blush, eye shimmer, mascara and lipgloss.

    Parents vitamins anyone?

    Vitamins Right now I take a regular multivitamin and I take Iron supplements because I am anemic. I also add protien powder to alot of my food. (cereal, smoothies etc.) I am almost out of my regular multivitamin so I think the next one I buy will be plus calcium.

    Vault Table Height???

    I do not think it matters what height you vault on. I am 5' and I still vault on 1050 becase that's where my vault is better. I think that the height of the vault is for the coach and the gymnast to decide. All though, if your daughter is not feeling comfortable on a certain height, I would talk...

    sweating problem! older gymnasts(girls) preferred!

    OK, I know I am not very old but I thought I'd post anyways. Almost everyone at my gym wears shorts but I understand if you don't want to and that's fine. I can't stand going without undies, so at meets (and with leotards that I don't have matching shorts for) I wear the GK brand underwear. They...

    Parents Do your kids miss school for gymnastics?

    I don't belieive I have ever missed school for gym. My parents are both teachers so education comes before sports. I don't think many people at our gym ever miss school for practice. I know a few people's parents will bring them to an open gym just before state or something, but not usually.
