Okay this past week I have "caught" Kadee doing things.
1. Feet together on the couch, hands shoulder width apart on the floor and a dog toy under her nose. She does push ups this way, coming down until she touches the dogs toy with her nose..holds 5 seconds, then presses up to straight arms, then holds 5 seconds. Repeats 10 times.
2. Sit ups, this is pretty standard..just tucks feet under couch. She does them really slow. Says she is supposed to. Supposed to be smooth, clean movements..not jerky and cant just fall back to floor.
3. Found her down stairs in the playroom with her flexi beam folded in half. Doing "over splits" (she really wasnt "over" splittnig anything...lol)
4. Outside on the monkey bars. She does pull ups 10X both ways, hands facing her and facing away from her.
5. Monkey bars again. She does a free hang, (hands facing away) points her toes, and brings her toes up and touches her fingers with her toes.
6. Hangs on bar pulls up to where her eyes are just above bar, arms at 90 degree angle, and holds for 15 seconds 10X hands facing both ways
She says this is things she does at gymnastics during conditioning. I have not watched a gymnastics practice since school started this year. (guess i really should..lol).
I just worry if this sounds right...is she doing it in a safe way? I know the equipment they have at the gym is different than what we have at home, and she is improvising...but it seems okay to me, but..what do i know. Does this sound normal? She just turned 5 and is L2 "team".
Is this strength and flexibility she needs now, or is it corisponding with the training they are doing for future use. Such as they are working with her on her BHS..as a L2 she doesnt do a BHS.
Just wondering if this is L2 conditioning, or preping her for body, getting it ready for new skills they maybe teaching in the future?
I will talk to her coach wednesday, maybe ill go sit there all practice and see what shes up to these days. I just feel silly sometimes, like im asking such idiotic questions.
Okay im done..lol
