    WAG Conditioning Exercise Resources and Random Games

    Any recommendations for places to get conditioning exercise ideas, and also games for multi level gymnasts, particularly short simple games to do spontaneously? Thanks.

    WAG Back pain during core conditioning

    I have 2 girls who tend to get backpain whenever we're doing core conditioning. This is during hollow rocks, situps and similar. I'm a bit jumpy at back pain as I'm batteling back pain myself, which could have been prevented easily with better coaching. Anyway, we have a few candidates who are...

    WAG Rec Class Conditioning

    Hi there I'm hoping someone can help me out! I'm a fairly new coach and have been asked to create an "At Home Conditioning" sheet for my recreational class who do 1 hour a week. I'm an ex competitive gymnast so I'm unsure on what exercises and reps are appropriate for their abilities so...

    WAG Conditioning as Punishment: Yes or No?

    A few of our coaches are in disagreement on this subject. One coach feels he doesn't want to use conditioning as a punishment tool because he wants the gymnasts to learn to like conditioning and not associate it with something bad. The other coach disagrees and uses it when kids are not paying...

    WAG Is it normal to love conditioning or hate it?

    Everyone that is or has been in my group have hated conditioning so much that when it's time to condition, everyone starts to complain even more than usual. :p I thought that almost everyone in gymnastics hated conditioning this much, but some of the posts on here make it sound like they or...

    Coaches Preteam conditioning

    I swear I saw a couple of great ideas for this in a recent thread but I can't seem to find it anymore. Basically, I'm working on developing a new warmup and conditioning program for my preteamers (ages 5 to 9). We do lines for 5-10 minutes, then condition for aproximately 10-15. They currently...

    WAG Conditioning games

    Me and two other of my teammates are injured and sadly it is team camp week so we come in and condition all practice. which was fine but now they're both getting bored theyre young, 9 and 11, and we are very limited on stuff to do. One girl broke her kneecap and we can't bend her leg in anyway...

    Parents Conditioning list?

    My DD is going across the country for two weeks to a summer camp. It's on a college campus, but I have found out that they will not be allowed to use the fitness center. She will be missing the two 30+ hour weeks of team camp (bad timing), and her coaches have warned she will come back month(s)...

    Parents Conditioning...how important?

    Kind of taking a bit of a poll...opinions... How important is conditioning in gymnastics? Strength training? I've heard some call it the 5th event...agree or disagree? How long do some of your kiddos strength train? I feel as though it would be a bit of an injury prevention plan...is this right...

    WAG Dips as conditioning for girls - yes or no?

    How necessary do you think are dips for optional female gymnasts? I am a gymnast myself, but never got further than L8. I am still doing gymnastics, but now I coach a lot and LOVE it. I am an assistant coach at a pretty competitive gym. They really prepare the girls well and focus a lot on...

    WAG Conditioning help!

    As most of you probably know, I've been struggling with ankle problems since February and shin problems since December (?). We have figured out what they are and I'm on track to be doing 4 events pain free by meet season. However I've been struggling in conditioning. Especially abs and arms...

    WAG What is your summer conditioning like?

    Hey, I was just wondering what different levels/groups summer conditioning is like. So if you could just say what level you're in and what an average conditioning circuit would look like. Like what exercises, how may reps, and for how long. Thanks!

    WAG New Optional & Xcel Conditioning

    So today we did a new conditioning circuit with levels 6-10 & Xcel Platinum. (I'm xcel if anyone is wondering) It was very tiring, but a very creative idea that anyone can take and put their own spin on. You will need a deck of cards. So each suit represents a move. Hearts: Burpees w/...

    WAG Just conditioning for 3 weeks?

    Due to some extraordinary circumstances, it is very likely that my daughter could end up doing mostly just conditioning with "a bit" of event work in there for 3 or so weeks this summer. This is not our choice. She is not injured. She finished L5 in December. How badly is she going to lose...

    Coaches Motivational ribbons for conditioning

    Hey all! I don't post much but I'm always reading all the great advice you all have! At my gym we give ribbons to our rec classes for new skills/contests/perfected skills/conquering something hard...All that good stuff! We do not currently have a conditioning/strength ribbon and I was hoping...

    WAG How many hours of conditioning?

    I'm just curious if there's a rough ratio of how many hours of conditioning to total hours in the gym? I assume it may differ depending on the level too.

    Acrobatics conditioning

    I go to an acrobatic club and the conditioning we do seems to be general body conditioning instead of more gymnastics style conditioning . As a base, what would be a good conditioning for me to follow at home to improve as I only train twice a week. I would really appreciate any feedback :-)

    WAG Conditioning?

    I got to practice with the team for the first time yesterday (I'm in a sort of preteam group) and we did about 45 minutes of intense conditioning! Which leads me to, what does your gym or your DC 's gym do for conditioning? I may just be thinking a lot of running, 100 or so push ups etc are...

    WAG HC doesn't talk to me - is our conditioning good? what do you coaches do with your athletes?

    As there have been a few threads about conditioning recently, I wondered if we do the right amount at our gym and what you do. I asked HC about why we do those exercises and numbers, I just wanted to talk about it but he reacted pretty angrily and said he knows what he does. I do think he does...
