    Conditioning!Ii

    Hello, I was wonder how long you have to condition for in your gym and what level you are on? I am a level 7 and condition 2-3 hours a week. Also what is the worst conditioning exercise you have to do. Mine is hanging pullovers!

    Coaches Go-To Drills and Conditioning

    We are gearing up for high school gym season around here and our team is looking to make a few changes to our program. One of the big ones is having set rotations requiring the girls to spend X amount of time at each event, even if it is not one they typically train/compete. So I am in the...

    Parents Home conditioning exercises

    Is it safe for my 6 year old to do some conditioning exercises at home? If you had read my previous thread you will know that I was going to speak to the head coach about possibly moving my dd up. I have decided against this at the moment. My dd is keen to work at becoming stronger and more...

    WAG Conditioning While Injured - Tips or Links

    I'm new here and actually found this site when searching for broken arm and gymnastics. It's been great to read the stories about kids coming back strong and motivated from injuries. My DD broke her humerus bone right above the elbow. She is 8 years old, level 5. She had surgery, pins placed...

    Parents Typical stretching/conditioning practices

    Let me preface this by saying my 5 year old DD came out of practice acting if nothing was amiss and had a good practice. I typically watch only about 15 minutes of a three hour practice, and usually don't see stretching etc. I have seen some stretching at the beginning of practice where the...

    Too much conditioning?

    My 9 yo DD moved from 4 to 12 hours at the gym 3 weeks ago. Well apparently she caught the gym bug because she is stretching, doing situps, chin-ups on her brother's doorway bar, etc. all the time. She has said she is sore a few times when I've asked but "it'll get better". Is this okay? I'm...

    Slacking on conditioning

    Since I am currently on rec and only practice 1 day 2 hours a week, I am not used to doing a lot of hard conditioning. The other day, I went to one of the Xcel team practices to try it out, because I have been invited to join. We had to do 1/2 hour straight of hard conditioning, which again, I...

    Conditioning help!

    I switched to a new gym last week! Each level has a certain amount of v-ups and push ups they have to do. Level 4 is 40, level 5 is 50, etc. but all optionals have to do 80 or more. At my old gym, we rarely ever conditioned. So I'm unable to the 80 push ups every practice. I can do 40 and then I...

    Strength daily conditioning routine?:)

    Dear Chalk Bucket users, I LOVE GYMNASTICS! and I'm one of those very naturally flexible gymnasts and even the most flexible in my whole gym. However, I see this as a disadvantage sometimes because the trade-off is that I'm not naturally as strong as a lot of other girls in my level:/ This makes...

    How many coaches & how much conditioning at your gym?

    Hi, My daughter is a level 5 gymnast at a small gym. There are 14 girls on the team (and they are currently recruiting more), levels 3-5. My daughter is one of 4 level 5s on the team. There are 2 coaches (although at times there is only 1 at a practice, and only 1 at competitions generally)...

    Best home conditioning activities

    I am looking for suggestions on the best home conditioning exercises for my 6 (almost 7) year old son as it seems his biggest challenge right now is building up some of the strength he needs to be successful. I exercise at home and he loves to 'work out' with me, so it would only be whatever he...

    UK Range and Conditioning

    My dd competed UK National Grade 8 and passed woo hoo. The R & C was not the best, did not hold splits, and had to restart, very wobbly, passed just. My question is to those who have to take R & C is this an integral part of the gymnasts training, ie included in their normal program or is it...

    Conditioning for abs

    I'm a level 5 and trying to get my kip. My coach said it would help to some ab exercises at home. What are some ab exercises I can do at home besides the basic crunches, V-ups, etc? Thanks!

    "Off Season" Conditioning

    I am in serious need of exercises I can do at home or in a gym to help me with different floor skills. I do gymnastics all-year round, but in the summer I only have it once a week. I am also a competitive cheer leader so any jump training or balance drills would help me out alot. Also, I am...

    Comprehensive Conditioning with Limited Time

    I've mentioned before that I'm working with a HS team, one where none of the girls have a background in competitive gymnastics. The most experienced girls have been involved in a strictly rec. program with more of an emphasis on throwing new skills and having fun rather than strength...

    Conditioning at home?

    Does anyone do conditioning at home on a regular basis? DD is 7, level 3, practices 1 day a week for 3 hours. Her coach was remarking the other day on how DD's splits are not where she would like them to be. With them only practicing once a week I don't really know realistically how good she...

    Conditioning When A Skill Isn't Made?

    One of my friends goes to a different gym then I do. She then told me the have to make up a chart with two skills on each event, and if they don't get ALL of their skills they have to condition. What!? That's 8 new skills in one month that they had only began working on. Personally, I don't...
