Coaches Question for coaches

[skfleming255]

My dd is a level 4. They have toyed with the kip at practices before, but nothing consistent. I would like for her to have a jump on it. I don't want to help her with it at home, but would like some exercises/conditioning that she could do at home to prepare her body/muscles for the kip.

Any exercises or suggestions on strength training for the kip would be helpful....thanks in advance.

when my dd was getting her kip her coach gave her a list to tackle at home. You need a chin up bar.
They included things like
leg lifts sets of 10 fast up slow down
inverted hang (like a dish upsidedown on the bar)for 10
hang toes touching the bar - push up to inverted hang shape and down - sets of 10 - my dd needed me to support her bottom to do this.
dish hold on floor for 20
holding a weight behind you lie on tummy and raise weight up and down with both hands 25.
10 chin ups

I can't remember any more. anyway we did them religiously for a month and she got her kip so they worked. (she had been close for a long frustrating time!)

Good luck it is such a hard move.
