I am just wondering something....my daughter has a stress fracture with a grade 1 slippage of her vertebra. She is training L10 and is under the care of a doctor who has approved of her continuing in the sport. (she trains 36 hours per week) She hasn't had any problems lately until she...

Hi--
I am interested in when some other gymnasts have gone to training twice a day? I have a 10yo daughter who is training 5/6...her gym doesn't push the girls on and I really like her coaches. they have said that in Jan 2009--she will be moving to twice daily. What are some pros and cons...
