Does anyone here have any set physical training regimes at home or elsewhere that your DD follows? Care to share your schedule? How much time is devoted to strength training? How often?
Part of daddy-daughter time is our (occasional) workout together. At 45, I'm not energetic as she is, and personally loath working out anymore, but this is an area where I know I can help. Nonetheless, We do pushups, crunches, Jjacks, and of course practicing proper stretching techniques, handstands, etc.
One of the thoughts I had was to introduce some of the TOPS physical ability training into our workouts. Such as, climbing the robe while in pike position, push up to handstands, etc. While I think it would be helpful, i'm wondering if this kind of training would be a bit over the top for an 8 yr old L3 athlete.
Your Thoughts?
Also... DD and LOML have asked for a swedish bar installed into our home gym. I'm a little reluctant since I can see it easily being used as an indoor playground rather then a strength training device. But... Being the Dad I am, I learned long ago that it's easier just to do what I'm told... including building "scaled" beams and bars for Nastia's American Girl dolls. After all -- they are gymnasts too!
