Hey welcome to you. I have a 2nd year Level 7 just learning giants so you can do level 7 wthout you need a nice clear hip on lower and upper bar. also gymanstics revolution has a great article on giants best wishes to you. I know DD said after she finally got her giant that it wasn't worth all the fear and worry they are great fun. LOL

I'm new too

Hi, I'm new here too.

Just what I need is more gymnastics stuff to explore! Like I don't spend enough time at the gym...

Oh well, my daughter is new to Level 7 this year and we are LOVING the process of choreographing routines. We have a great choreographer who really understands working with and individual's body/style.

My dd was the WA STATE Level 5 Bar Champion for 10yos last spring and will challenge level 6 in Sept. (We don't have a Level 6 Team).

Anyway - I have 8 kids, including the gymnast and a trampoline/tumbler team member, so I log a lot of gym miles. The other kids are also active in sports/clubs/youth groups, etc so I'm not home much!

I am pretty new here to! This is like my 3rd time on. I obviously do not spend enough time talking about gym at gym so I guess I need more gym stuff to talk about. LOL. I am just starting level 7 (only competed 6 4 one meet) and I am just getting my giants and right now I am not as much worrying about making it as I am scared of it. so idk but you will get it eventually!!!!

Hi,

I'm new to the board, just thought I'd pop in for a quick intro. I'm the proud mother of two daughters (one of which does gym) and just discovered this board. It's too bad I didn't know about this place 8 or 9 years ago! This would have been really helpful getting over the 'learning curve' of being a gym parent. Oh well, better late than never I suppose.

Welcome

Hello I'm Pretty new two I got my giants when I was just in level 5 They are not very hard if you just have the right body positons. If you can do a hollow body hold with your arms bye your ears, you can basicly do a giany! :jaw-dropping:
At first you may be a little scared( I was) But all in all it really is not that hard. welcome again!

P.S Ever since I'v got my giants andI'm not afraid anymore, I like bars much much better.:bars: Hope you get your giants soon
