workout

What happens if a gymnast misses the practice before a meet? Are they allowed to compete? At our gym the rules are strict- get 2 practices in, whether they are make up or with your group- or don't come to the meet. The exception to the rule is sickness/ pre-scheduled commitment/ severe weather...

So, our gym was closed for a long break. D had gym on Tuesday......and then hasn't had it since. We have gone hiking, rock climbing, biking, etc. This kid is still flipping everywhere. He is using his paralletes to "walk." He has done his mushroom routines multiple times. He has practiced...

I had a GREAT workout on Thursday. (I compete Prep opt Intermediate, so I can compete most of these skills.) On bars I got my Front hip circle!! I have been struggling with it for a while, and it just happened all of a sudden!:D I also got my Front hip-Back hip connection! On Vault I did my half...

Whew! I just wanted to share that I had a pretty awesome workout last night. I don't think I've ever had one where I really accomplished something on all four events. Last night I made my acro series on a high-ish medium beam. I've been having some trouble with one of my feet so I couldn't...

Double post sorry.

I just read lots of posts here about not letting kids do back bands for example till they are 5 or 6. And other things. Well.... My 3 1/2 year old girl can do cartwheels, hand stands against the wall, kick over from the mat. She can do vault - squat jump or straddle landing. She pretty much can...

Hi, it's Mack again. Gym has been going pretty well for me lately, except for on Saturdays: I'm worried that I'm in the wrong workout group, skill-level and motivation wise. On the other two days I go to gym, I'm in a group with several girls who are a level or two below me, and several girls...

Hello! I'm doing swim team this year for high school, and unfortunetly due to budget cuts it has to be in the morning far away. That means we have to get up at 4:30 in the morning, have swim at 5:20, gets out at 6:30, leave asap and get to school by 7:05 and find a parking spot (which is near...

Hey! So I posted in my intro post that I was a gymnast for about 13 years but stopped and became involved in dance because of an injury. Now at 24 I just started taking adult gymnastics classes for fun at Chelsea Piers and am amazed at how much I've lost - especially in the arenas of STRENGTH...

Today was my dd's first day at practice with her new coach. We're still in the same gym, but the coach we had retired (I was told it was due to a bad back--she never said anything to us:(, which I didn't understand because my daughter adores her). Anyway, the new coach is young, energetic and...

Hi! Does anyone know how the Destira workout shorts compare to the cut and fit of the GK shorts? Destira has some for only $10, but only the fabric is pictured on their site. I have three gymnasts and haven't bought my two level 4's any shorts for their leos yet due to cost. Thanks!
