i know when i was having lots of problems with my wrist it actually turned out to be a severely bruised bone.. it sucked but after almost 5 months of complete rest with it and then home PT it's getting a lot better.. really.. stay off of it but do simple strengthening exercises.. squeezing a...
i know this sucks but take it easy for a few weeks. take a week off.. then slowly come back. do some strengthening exercises. most sports injuries are overuse injuries. i just got back from a severely bruised bone in my wrist and it sounds really petty but it had me not able to even put any...
i our pre-school classes, our directors told our coaches just at our last meeting that we can allow the kids to do bridges and position their hands a feet correctly but we aren't allowed to help pull them up into the full bridge or anything. 6yo is when they can move from kindergarten class up...
yea, i understand the fashion trend thing.
i coach the beginning kids at our gym up
to pre-team. i have had rollers (first level)
gymnasts wearing tiger paws. now these
are girls doing bridge from stand as their
most impacting move. we had so many
rollers through kippers (lvl 1-3) girls wearing...
there's no doubt that in exception to the injuries, i have a ton more fun in HS.
its just more like hanging out with friends. but it was hard for me because
the only time i saw the girls on my sophomore year team was at practice
because we went to different schools. we had sleepovers and gift...
i 100% see where ToeTheLine is coming from talking about the injuries. my freshman year i went to a public school with a whole HS team of beginners. My coaches way of solving this problem of having so many beginners was to have practices mon-sat. every day. three hour practices. For the girls...
i think the worst workouts i have is when they make us do full gym conditioning when my legs hurt (i have a lot of problems with the one and we aren't sure what's wrong) but the full gym cond. isn't as bad as some of you guys wow. we just have to jump all the beams, butt scoots (straddle with...
i wouldn't worry about her needing the spot again after switching gears a few times. in my bhs classes that i teach, i have a specific few girls who need spotted on the first handspring every time their turn comes up. they know they can do it but it scares them to have had the 5 or 10 minute...
see the difference between you and someone like me is that you already have your full and you've already decided which way is comfortable. for me i have no clue which way is comfortable for me. i find it extremely difficult to twist either way. honestly i feel just stupid to twisting it's quite...
this sounds like a great idea but i can't quite picture how this works.. maybe i'm just dumb lol. could you possibly post a picture of what it should look like? i don't ever rip but i know some girls at my gym that would totally appreciate the advice.
sorry i'm not one to stay on topic but i saw the meet today too =]
i don't remember names for the life of me but let me say the 4' 7"
gymnast from Georgia is about my hero. i love short people =]
(i'm 16 and barely 5'):p
blantonnicks post has helped me most honestly. i like the more common analogies of turning a steering wheel. the optic and all the other articles almost left me more confused than i was when first arriving upon the question of which way do i turn and why does it feel more comfortable going left...
my experience being in both club and y gyms.
i felt at my club gym my coach didn't push us
as hard to stick just to our skills. many of us
girls were working bhs on beam and layouts
and stuff as level 5's. now of course he made
us work our level skills. but it seems like ymca
gym is so strict...
make sure if you're going to start working half on's, you don't reach with just your hands. think about keeping your body extremely tight and turning your whole body to place your hands.
seriously, that was always really hard for me too but i just worked a lot LOT on my ab and thigh muscles and i saw much improvement over time. Also at the new gym that i'm currently training at, our warm-up routine on low bar is to do 5 push away kips in a row before we're allowed to do...
