``````````````````````````````````` That is an awesome video, though I have had to explain to DD numerous times that the pets are not to be taught gymnastics so when she said at the beginning to grab "blankets, pillows, dog, cat, whatever" I knew we were in trouble lol

I feel you. We are at the same place, She has all the skills for this level and the next and also a bunch for the one after that, from what I understand. BUT there are some form (I think that is the right term) issues that I have in my head as "making it prettier". Hand placement, something...

She will not be competing but has shown some interest in watching this one and we have some friends in the area, so if Dad can get off work I will let you know!!!! Mom cannot drive so Dad has to be off work for something in the metroplex :)

Yea autocorrect is fun sometimes lol

You are so much better than the navigation of this. I am confused and I am just going to wait till the coach and owner I am used to dealing with come back on Monday because I don't want to say anything no knowing what I am talking about. But that is the first one we have Paid for and...

I am looking at some and trying to make sense of it. From what I understand the first meet we have will be this one: 2015-01-30 2015-02-01 Friends Of Achievers Invitational Will anyone else be going? It is in Denton Texas, I would love to meet up with some of yall on here if you will be there.

You may be right, I know nothing about the boys except that one of the boys dad sits next to us most times. I know a few of them are in the gym this week too, I assumed AAU but I could be wrong, being an assumption and all :)

I think Bog may be enjoying her much needed break for New Year's. It will be interesting to see her reaction when she returns. Sigh.

That is great!!! Thanks...........she has a low home beam (a foot or so off the floor only) and this would be great. Coach says that there is a Russian Beam complex too but she needs to do a year or more of this before she would recommend that one.

My DD main coach, who is on vacation till next week and has become a family friend, just messaged me that she purchased some CDs called the Romanian Beam Complex for DD Christmas present. Has anyone had any experience with these CDs? I think I am just nervous because of the "Romanian" in the...

My DD has stretching that her coach sends her home......lunges, pancakes, splits, etc. This may sound weird but we make it a family game, If she can beat her time in a stretch by one full second at least than she gets to make mom and/or dad attempt a stretch. We keep record of her stretches on...

My daughters doctor told us that protein after a workout is especially important for gymnasts. He said that the excess stretching and such cause microscopic tares (?) in the muscles being stretched and that the protein is important after such routines because the protein is what repairs the...

Well, I use SparkPeople, I am not a gymnast but I keep the whole family on that diet including DD who IS a gymnast, though she is only level 4 she does about 16 hours a week (rounded figure) of just conditioning. She does conditioning both at home (very modified) and at the gym. Both her coach...

That sounds accurate, thanks. My DD has some shyness and stage fright type issues. She is very very very aware if someone is watching her. So I think this AAU season should be a good thing for her.
