break

So, I use to be in club from like age 7-11 (5th grade) now im 17 and a Junior and I left club when I was 11 because of a injury so since 6th grade ive done middle/high school gymnastics. My high school season ended in Febuary, since like April Ive just been going to a tumbling class for like one...

Hello! There is a new sneak pick of Make it Or Break it (sorry if someone has already posted this I didn't see a super recent post). I'm really upset about what they are portraying gymnastics as. First of all the girls do not look anything like gymnasts, and even running they look... odd...

Has anyone heard of the new tv show/movie on ABC Family called Make it or Break it!? I know it's about gymnasts and their gym life! and it's starting on June 22. Does anyone else know more about it? I can't wait to see itt!!

Allison fell off the monkey bars at school yesterday and sheared her humorous bone right above the elbow joint. She had surgery to repair the break last night and spent the night in the hospital. The surgeon said that it will be a good six months before she can do gymnastics again. Anyone have...

How much time do you get off from gymnastics around holidays? And are there any ideas about how I can stay in shape??

I see all the girls loosing momentum because we have a 3 month break between meets. We are going a full 3 months between meets, in which we will close completly 2 weeks for spring break . . next meet is beginning of May with States two weeks later! What can I do to avoid the lack of...

Sooo... it was probably a very good thing that I didn't go anywhere major for spring break this year. First of all, I'm in a walking boot so that means I can't really do anything. The day before break started though, I started getting really bad body aches, so I was really hoping I wouldn't be...

DD was just casted for a torus fracture of her distal radius (right by the wrist). Dr says it's a mild break but the ortho felt more comfortable casting it. 3-4 weeks in the cast. Here's the dilemma - dd's first meet ever is Nov 15, the day after they remove the cast. We can push the removal to...

Well - the wrist still isn't where it should be and she is just frustrated - it is not fun not being able to do anything. Lately half the times she has practice she just doesn't want to go. So today I told her I wanted her to take a month off not only to get better, but to figure out whether...

I am of course mostly speaking about those who practice 3 or 4 hours (or more I guess) at a time. I ask because up until today, my DD got a 10 minute snack break at every practice. Today they were told that this was their last day for snack breaks because they had been leaving messes and had...

I could not find Ellabella's original thread so I just added this here. The results are in from her x-rays and she has a small fracture in the tibia that Mattie and doctors believe to be about a month old. It started hurting right after Olympic trials in June. So sad for this beautiful gymnast...

This week I'm off to Branson, Missouri, with the whole music department from my school. It's supposed to be "the clean las vegas" but I'm not convinced. Anyone been there?
