I have a gymnast (prep op novice team) who broke her wrist a few weeks ago. She loves the gym and cannot be kept away. I welcomed her to contine working out obviously staying away from anything related to her arm.
It fairly easy to keep her busy on beam and floor with dance skills and dance throughs of routines. She is learning more difficults jumps and turns.
It gets tough when we get to vault and bars.
She does the vault warm up with the team but then spends some time on the tramp or tumble trak working on tucks. I have also had her doing squat ons onto the level 4 vault mat to work on hitting the board and arm circles.
Bars I am at a loss. All other events are busy when we are in the gym so giving her two rotations of beam or floor isnt always an option when it is I take it but when its not she ends up doing conditioning and gets bored really quickly.
She loves the sport and I dont want to see her bored, she will be in the cast until February.
We have a big gym with all kinds of equipment just not tons of room, we have a large team and rec program. Any ideas to keep her busy would be great!
Thanks!
