    WAG Tucks with ankle weights?

    I am usually not a fan of training with weights in general, if you are a L1-L8, because there are so many hard exercises you can do with your own bodyweihht. (for higher levels it might help very well). Anyways, I have been using ankle weights only for squat jumps, some straddle and split jumps...

    Twisted my ankle doing a standing aerial?...

    I had done an aerial several times, but I had taken 1-2 steps before it. Then, I attempted a standing aerial, and I landed short and my foot slipped. This happened yesterday or sometime around then, and it is still bugging me and I can't do an aerial because I get nervous I would do that same...

    Parents Ankle weights?

    I just got an email from my daughter's coach that she wants everyone to bring tennis shoes and ankle weights for summer conditioning. They want to take the girls on runs when the weather allows to help increase their endurance for next season (longer floor and bar routines). Dd is 6 and just...

    WAG Return following an ankle sprain.

    DD sprained her ankle a week ago. She is still having some pain and weakness in the ankle, but has been cleared to return to full use, as tolerated. She has her state meet in 1.5 weeks. How realistic is it to think she will be 100% in time for states?

    WAG Recommendation for an ankle brace that keeps the ankle immobilized

    Does anyone know of an ankle brace that keeps the ankle relatively immobilized? From a bit of research I've found its difficult to do this with ankle braces, so I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this. I know that taping works best, but I've gone through nearly 80 rolls of...

    WAG ankle injuries- Should I be worried?

    My daughter's gym seems to be plagued with ankle injuries lately. In her group of about 14 girls we have had 5 or more ankle injuries. We have a 7 yo who fractured hers doing backhandsprings on a tumble track (this girl could do them on floor) and has reinjured hers 3 more times since. The...

    WAG Ankle, sprained broken or nothing?

    Last week at practice I did a leap and landed on my ankle wrong and rolled it. It didn't hurt when I first did it and I kept on doing practice just fine. Two days after that practice my ankle started to hurt whenever I walked off and on. It's been a week and it's still hurting at different times...

    WAG Ankle injuries...

    Last summer I Broke my ankle and I was in a cast for three weeks with no crutches. It was actually just a fracture and a very bad sprain. There's a lot of info so I'm going to separate it so I don't confuse you! BEFORE CAST: My ankle hurt really bad one day while tumbling. I kept going because I...

    T&T Well, Carmella (10 year old) ended up taking the summer off after a bad ankle roll.

    She started complaining just after State that her Ankle hurt all the time. Come to find out, back in March, while at a Cheer competition, she rolled her ankle pretty bad, and didnt really tell anyone. She just pushed through it. So, since she was hurting, we held off on Nationals this...

    WAG Hyperextended knees, ankles and elbows

    Hey everyone! So I have hyperextended knees,ankles and elbows but not from an injury I think I was just born that way. The thing is, in some gym moves, I get hurt more easily because of it. For example, when doing a back handspring, my elbows really hurt and I have to be careful not to lock my...

    Ankle and wrist strength

    Both of my ankles are bad and I wear braces on both of them for practice. The braces can get annoying and I would like to practice without them but I don't want to injure myself. I also wear tiger paws and I would like to practice without them too. Any tips on strengthening my wrists and ankles??

    WAG Ankle strengthening?

    So in March I fractured my left ankle by rolling it, then around 2.5 weeks ago I minor-ly sprained my right ankle in phys. ed by rolling it. It finally felt better today and I was on tumble track during practice and I rolled my right ankle again. My coach told me to do a lot of toe raises and...

    Parents Sprained ankle. Ugh!

    DD sprained her ankle doing a back tuck on beam. Since she fractured that same foot last year I had it xrayed. No fracture but its swollen and sore. Ice, ice and more ice. I want one month of practice without illness or injury. :mad:
