Coaches Conditioning

[Gymdancemm11]

This is my 2nd year coaching I am also a gymnast. I need help coming up with ideas for conditioning stations. So far I have leg lifts and the stall bar, pannel at pushes, rope climbs, pushup position hold on the bosu ball, squats with the medicine ball, and bar weight lifts. I need help coming up with more ideas.
Please help!!!!

Is there a specific group you want to target (arms, core, legs)? Also is this lower levels?

I would add in a handstand station, and hollow and arch holds

I'm surprised you are being tasked with coming up with conditioning. Is there not a head coach or supervisor you can ask?

Im being tasked to come up with conditioning because I am capable of it. The head coach is also my coach as I am a gymnast as well. We have pretty much the same conditioning lists/activities. He has been my coach since I was 6. Im just asking on here for more ideas. I lead conditioning when I coach at the end of practice that is a part of my role

I think the TOPs physical abilities are a pretty darn good blueprint for developing the foundational strength you need for gym.

For my conditioning, I base it off what skills a group is struggling to get (ex. a pullover on bars, I might make them do chin ups or chin holds on bars to help them with their arm strength and to help them to get their chin above the bar)

Thank you that is really helpful!

I think the TOPs abilities will also help you with this- ex. pullover is weak? rope climb. kips are weak? leg lifts. casts are weak? presses. they really do cover most of your needs.

Thank you!!

I really appreciate everyone who has helped me to come up with ideas!

I just made a separate thread sharing my MAG conditioning program that I'm still working on. The specifics will obviously be different for WAG, but feel free to take a look through it and see if it gives you any ideas. I think the overall format -- which gives individual athletes some level of control over the intensity on any particular day -- is one that can work just as well for female athletes.

I’m a gymnast, but I would say handstand holds against a wall, chin ups, press to handstands, or straddle sit holds, box jumps, sideways planks, duck walks, pit crawls, or frog jumps. You could also do timed conditioning and different conditioning exercises in a row for endurance. I hope this helps!
