    WAG what does your/your child's conditioning look like? worried about too much!

    DD is a Level 6. She trains 3 times a week for 3 hours. In the first hour, they always do the same conditioning routine. My sister's girls are both Level 7. They train 4 times a week, but just do conditioning twice a week for 40minutes. Here is what DD does with her team: 10 minutes warm-up...

    Parents Leg Conditioning Makes My DD Cry, What Can I Do?

    My DD just turned 9 and she, like a lot of gymnasts, is very petite for her age. I just found out that she is probably going to have to repeat level 3 again ( that will make 3 years of training level 3/old level 4 and her second year competing it). This is because she does not have the body...

    Parents Do you do conditioning/practice with your children?

    Bit lighthearted but for the non-gymnast parent do you do gymnastics fitness with your children? Inspired by my dds abs we do some stuff together at home, I'm looking for more ideas - we do planks (with raises), sit ups, v-sits, jumps (pike/straddle/tuck/straight) press ups and hand stand...

    Off Topic Leg conditioning ideas

    Does anyone have any leg conditioning ideas that don't involve squatting or a lot of pounding? I used to squat like nobody's business with weight but squats aggravate my old knee injury so I'm trying to find other leg conditioning to do! Thanks in advance!

    Range and Conditioning deductions help

    My oldest dd's coach has emailed a copy of the range and conditioning requirements to all the parents to read and try and encourage their child to practice at home (both boys and girls). This is a mixed disability squad that train at the same time but is split into boys and girls (they have a...

    WAG How is your conditioning organized and structured?

    How is your conditioning organized and structured? Do you do it at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of the practice? Do you have circuits or do you do the conditioning on the floor all together and at the same time? Or do you use conditioning sheets with repetition numbers the kids...

    WAG What drills/conditioning can I do at home to improve my gymnastics?

    I will be out of the gym until summertime, but I will be able to keep my skills I was working on because my muscle memory for those skills has lasted several years without a gym. But I want to work on new skills without doing the actual skill so I dont hurt myself. What are some drills/condition...

    WAG conditioning at home - every day? every other day? once a week?

    Hey guys! So as I already posted, I started tumbling/acrobatics some months ago. In training we warm up with jumping, running and some simple "strength" exercises, but no one in my class is really able to perform even one single pull-up or more than 5 V-Ups, so we actually do no strength at all...

    Coaches Leg conditioning sans squatting & home strength

    Gymnast hat is on but I wanted coaches' responses. I need to up my conditioning at home since my coach has decided that we don't have time to do it at practice (4x4hrs) and should be conditioning at home. I was previously just supplementing what we do in the gym, but now have to build all...

    WAG conditioning vs. skills on preteam

    My almost-7-year-old is in her second year of preteam. The first year was mostly about conditioning and not much work on skills, which seemed like the right focus at the time--after all, you have to be able to do a pull-up before you can do a pullover. She moved from L1 preteam to L2 preteam at...

    Coaches How many coaches during warm-up/conditioning?

    Do all of you coaches attend the full warm-up and conditioning of your teams? Is it normal to decrease costs by limiting the amount of coaches that can attend this portion of practice to 1?

    Coaches Conditioning with an injury

    I have a 7 year old in my rec class who is going to be moved up to preteam at the end of the competitive season. She broke her foot playing soccer over the weekend but still wants to come to class to watch and condition because she loves it! I am making up a conditioning list for her and have...

    T&T Conditioning for tramp

    So we've just recently started a tramp preteam, and at least for the moment I'm heading the program. I've been looking for some good conditioning programs for trampoline. It seems to me that kettlebell workouts should be extremely effective; from what I can tell, basic kettlebell swings appear...

    WAG Conditioning to improve front tuck height on the air mat

    Hi, I am an adult gymnast trying to improve my front tuck height when jumping off an air mat. I can land on my feet most of the time but my low height does not allow me to progress to higher skills like front tuck half twist. Could you suggest any conditioning exercises that I could do at home...

    Coaches Conditioning for Level 3 bars

    I have a gymnast that struggles mightily with bars. She's more solid than my other athletes who have a leaner body type and just struggles so much with bar conditioning. Even her pullover is very labored. We do chin ups and pull ups but even then she can't pull herself all the way up. Is...

    Additional Conditioning Classes?

    Wasn't sure which forum to put this in...so I went with "other" :) I have seen on some gym websites and some people have mentioned on here additional classes or practices for conditioning. While I agree a lot of conditioning should be done in practice, I can see how this could be helpful to...

    Coaches Conditioning Lists (Pre-Team to L6)

    I'm looking for y'all's conditioning lists for your pre-team to old L6/new L5 girls. In addition to in-gym conditioning, do you set home conditioning for your kids? If so, what do you assign? I'm really struggling with what exercises and what reps/sets are appropriate for the varying levels. If...

    WAG Conditioning for Rec kids?

    How much conditioning and shaping would you expect/think Rec kids to do per session? I'm talking kids training just over an hour a week or so. I've coached at a couple of clubs, one where almost no conditioning was done... I would tell the gymnasts to get into a "dish shape" and they'd look at...
