Women Conditioning with injuries

[Conditioningisfun]

Hi everyone, my gymnast friend recently broke both her arms and was asking us all for ideas of what to do conditioning-wise while she recovers. She wants to mainly keep her core strong. Her coach has told her to do heel taps and leg lifts on the ground. If anyone has any other ideas that would be great! Thanks

If you look on here for 'ab exercises' 'hollow holds' 'core exercises' you will probably find everything you need. Good luck to your friend!

Wall sits! After my daughter broke her arm, she became the queen of wall sits.

Your poor friend. That sounds absolutely awful.

Look on YouTube for floor barre workouts. My dd was just non weight bearing for a bit and these worked great for her. Heavy on the core. Find at least intermediate level.

Quick healing to her. That sounds aweful.
