Does your gym give out a home conditioning programme? If so can you share it with us? I have heard this is common and I am wondering are these very basic or do they involve a lot of time and the need for supervision etc?
DD has a sheet with conditioning exercises, different for each gymnast depending on their strengths/weakness and if they have any equipment such as a chin up bar or floor beam at home. It is divided into beam/bar/tummy and upper arm sections, the coach will nominate a section to practice each week.
Probably takes her around 10-15 mins per day. Similiar to what others have mentioned, sit ups, push ups, v-sits, handstand on the wall, straddle press, leg lifts, cliff tops, front support marching, chin ups. Also all three splits every day. On the floor beam she does lots of high kicks, with and without weights, straddle walks, holding L sit.
It is suggested that she conditions every day, but her coach is not overly stressed about whether it gets done or not.
For DS it is all three splits every day, at least once, preferably twice per day. He tends to watch tv in split position.
