Hi,
My little boy (6 yr old (7 in February)) is based with two gyms..
1 small one with only vault and floor and he's in the process of moving to a big 6 piece gym..
Week one assessment we were told to continue our 4 hours at small gym but join them for further assessment once a week (2hrs)
Week 2 told he's definitely one to progress as incredibly flexible and stronger than he looks (looks super wimpy at the minute.. Skinny little thing )
Today week 3 we are told he can't progress to more hours until he gets strength ( his small gym have said they will only allow two training gyms until February at the latest - classed as the equivalent of one school term)
Now the goal for hm is to get him doing the same 5+ hours at this new gym but obviously they want hi, stronger!,,
He's constantly performing at hime with splits and forward rolls and round offs and we've recently bought him a chin up bar but he gets frustrated as he can only do one good one (3 slightly dodgy ones!)
We are encouraging press ups and sit ups but what else is recommended especially as he's still small?
He's also he worlds worst eater..
One day he will like something and the next he won't...
Is there anything we can try that's 'good' for him by way of gymnastics!
The only bonus on the food front is that he loves fruit and chicken but not sauces for chicken :-(
Any help would be appreciated as he doesn't like his little gym any. Ore as he's seen a big gym but we are worried (as his parents) that he won't make the transition without gaining strength :-(
Thanks
