I haven't been on chalk bucket in ages! Tonight practice was actually cancelled :( Something about 100 degrees and whatever...so I bounced on the trampoline and did some of the level 7 tramp routines. The ankle is about 97% healed and I have been having a lot of fun tumbling and working on...

i was just thinking that we should all post our gym name, city and state for other adults who are looking for a place to do gymnastics. agt flip city, warren, michigan metro detroit, detroit area

our girls compete in several aau meets in uniontown, ohio (south of cleveland). our coach is checked with the gym to see if adults can also compete. we are waiting to hear back from the judges. the remaining meets are in nov, jan, and feb. let me know if anyone else wants to do this. maybe...

my dr. recommend "the stick" for sore leg muscle/shin splints. i found one on ebay and i bought the travel size. its is a plastic rod covered with giant beads and it has a slight bend, and it has a handle on both ends. it helps work out the fascia (muscle knots). it is amazing. i've used...

oh my... i have been wanting to see what i am doing for months because the coaches keep telling me the same corrections. so it finally happened on thursday - i was able to get hubby into the gym (this is no small feat - he hates the gym:the smell, the music, the possibility of injury - just to...

totally off topic, but i wanted to post it form my adult gals. the 18th -20th i'll be in LA. actually in santa monica to learn how to surf for my 5 year anniversary. let me know if anyone lives around here.

this sunday is an exhibition meet for the power tumbling at my gym. i was all excited when i thought another adult would be doing it with me and then she changed here mind because she doesn't have all of her skills. i try to reassure her that i don't have all of my skills either and it is just...

i was reading another post and saw that someone once had 4 falls on beam (i won't mention names)! it is funny to read that because i just stopped by my original gym on thursday and one of the four remaining coaches that knows me (from 16 years ago) mentioned, didn't you fall seven times on...

i just read a post that little lady did and the name of her book is Flip Outside the Box. i love the idea. i too feel as if the artistry in gymnastics is gone and has been replaced with tumbling and power, and a lot of it. i like to watch old routines to find cool moves to make my routines...

ok, i'm totally jealous after reading gikigirl's post that she has a low beam at her house. i didn't know that we could still do that! i used to have two big mats in my parents basement that we would do ro bhs on. i wonder if i have room for a floor beam in my workout room, and i wonder if i...

for the last two summers i have wanted to do gymnastics camp at camp woodward in pa. i always think about it in june and there isn't enough time to get my body ready for daily workouts in august. the past two summers the offer camp for adults during their last week of the summer (august). is...

i almost forgot. yesterday i started to break in my new grips. i got a pair with the thick leather so they'll last forever. i bought a pair about a year ago that is the softer leather and easier to break in but i didn't trust the dowl and the leather was really starting to show wear from the...

front tumbling is so foreign to me. back in the early 90's front tumbling meant doing a ro bhs whatever - out of a front tuck. for me, front handsprings were so hard to get the correct angle to get any power out of. i keep telling my self that gymnastics is repetition. so i have been...

aau has a ladies division. a bunch of us did the jr. olympics in july and had so much fun. every year it is in a different state. this year Des Moines, IA July 27 - August 8, 2009. they are very lenient with us old ladies. because it is hard to find meets, we don't have to qualify for...

greetings, we are competing in the ladies division for aau in july just for fun. our gym is a rec gym, so we don't konw what skills are A's and what are B's beam - front pike dismount - wolf jump - what are other B jumps on beam floor - jump full in tuck position...

who's interested? woodward east said the 12th session they are allowing us old farts to do gymnastics. i want to go! are there other crazy people out there like me?

ok, i finnaly tore through my old grips from when i competed gymnastics (15 years ago!). i am doing my giants and simple release moves, so i need a real pair of grips. i bought a u.s. glove pair two months ago - and they are not working. they are not the quality i am looking for. let me...
