    WAG What are considered normal physical testing / conditioning requirements?

    Hi - I'm new to this forum but am curious to know what physical testing / conditioning requirements are in place at your gyms (requirements that need to be completed before an athlete can move up a level or compete). At our gym we have two requirements - athletes must get at least a 32 AA...

    Anon conditioning when sore

    Is it ok to do conditioning on the days you wake up and feel sore?I know it’s good to push your self and do hard things but I’m wondering if there’s a limit. On the days I do feel super sore and condition anyway I just wake up more sore the next day, but isn’t that what builds strength? I’m...

    WAG Conditioning

    So the gym that I will be joining for xcel gold does a ton of conditioning. Probably like an hour every practice. I’m not exactly in shape for this type of conditioning. The girls at my school say that the coaches are super strict and tough about it. They are not really mean about it but they...

    WAG Does anybody have any at home conditioning lists or schedules for that level of skill, or routine advice from other ADHD gymnasts?

    I’m a gymnast in a very relaxed team. I’m not the strongest or the fastest or the one with the best form, but I do have the highest level skills of our team. Most are working what would be level 3-4, some level 2 and our age group is 11-15. I’m 13 and training level 5 and 6 skills. However, our...

    Looking for some help on what kind of conditioning/strength training my kid can do that will help her with her pirouette. She consistently hits her feet on the floor after her pirouette.

    Parents normal conditioning for preteam?

    My 6 year old is on preteam at her gym, and they've had a few coaching changes over the summer and fall. The current coach seems to really push them for conditioning. I wasn't a gymnast myself, so I'm wondering what is normal for the age/level. She says they do 100 frog jumps multiple times in...

    WAG Home conditioning programs

    For her summer on-line independent study PE course, my daughter has to log 12 hours a week of exercise. Gymnastics practice was supposed to take care of that and then some. Our state has not announced a timetable for reopening gyms, and she's not going back this summer even if they do reopen...

    Parents Motivating kids who hate conditioning?

    How are you keeping your kids motivated to condition? I have a 10 and 13 year old. They love gymnastics, and if I tell them to keep up with their skills, they will do that all day, but conditioning is a big no thanks. We are doing it and powering through--using @coachp 's pretty challenging...

    At home conditioning during gym closure

    My daughter's gym is closed at least until the end of the month. I'm still holding out hope that we will see a post-season knowing it isn't likely. What are your kids planning to do at home to try to stay in conditioned shape as much as they can? This will be a big change for their bodies...

    MAG Gymnast Conditioning - What I learned

    I made this video to chart what I learned from gymnasts about conditioning; One of the main things that I observed and for which I don’t think gymnasts get enough credit - is that there is a non existent culture of performance enhancing drugs in gymnastics. If you compare that to a sport...

    WAG Conditioning with injuries

    Hi everyone, my gymnast friend recently broke both her arms and was asking us all for ideas of what to do conditioning-wise while she recovers. She wants to mainly keep her core strong. Her coach has told her to do heel taps and leg lifts on the ground. If anyone has any other ideas that would...
