    Injury - Out of practice for a few months

    Over the past 11 months I have been going at my gymnastics training furiously. Every day I give all that I've got. The next day when I feel as if nothing is left, I go out and find something to give. Sadly, the past month and a half I have had to back off due to a pain that had developed in...

    High Hopes

    Hey all. I've been interested in doing gymnastics for years, but injuries from other sports has prevented me from doing so until recently. I'm going to be 17 in a couple of weeks(I feel old). I started Gymnastics about a year ago. Focusing mainly on getting in shape. After a few...
