My DD has been having a lot of trouble doing leg lifts the right way. She can never get her legs all the way up and is always using her back for them. This has been going on for about 4 years now and we don’t know if there’s any way to fix it or if it’s too late. She is an Xcel Diamond and 14...

I work at a gym with 9 and 10 yr olds that train level 9 and we try to make their conditioning fun! They are kinda getting tired of the exercises that we have been doing for a while. Does anyone have any good fun conditioning to do with 9 and 10 yr olds?

I'm sure there are lots of posts on this, but I'm a newbie so looking for help. What can we do at home to help my daughter with balance? She turned 5 at the end of March and is fairly new to gymnastics.

So dd is suddenly (within the last 6 months) hitting her feet on the mats on bars and I asked her about it and she said her hips were weak. I told her to ask her conditioning coach for tips on how to strengthen them, but she won't do it. Is it her hips that are weak? What can she do to help...
