I want to start conditioning and stretching at home. I am currently a level 6 but go to a YMCA so I only practice 9.5 hours a week. I am inflexible, and I'm probably weak compared to club gymnasts. Does anyone have a good home conditioning plan/schedule? Please include how many sets I should do...

I am currently at a YMCA as a level 6. Unlike some YMCA's, we have a full spring floor, a vault table, 3 high beams, 2 low beams, and 2 sets of bars. I get pretty "good" scores and usually win all around at my meets. The problem is, I don't know if I really deserve the scores. I've heard about...

Today I had a level 6 meet that I felt I did very well at! First we had floor which is usually one of my best but today was my worst. My routine was going great, and my tumbling was super powerful all the way up to almost the end. I'm not really sure what happened. I did my full turn and hitch...

I am a level 6 gymnast at a YMCA. I was wondering how long other level 6's practice. I practice 9.5 hours a week and I'm not sure if it's enough. I'm questioning this because I have heard of other level 6's practicing 15 hours a week. Also, I feel it's weird that level 4's only get 0.5 hours...
