Ask your coach because some gyms have different expectations with tumbling, but some possibilities include: - fhs- roundoff -fhs-fhs -front tuck- roundoff Second tumbling pass: -Ariel -front tuck

I know thanksgiving already passed, but what are you thankful for going into 2020? (gym or non gym related) I'm thankful to live close to my gym, and to have supportive parents who have driven me basically every destination known to man along, and always attended meets with a video...

I agree with the above, that would *gasp* HURT and not be effective.

Something I've noticed so far this season is that there are very few xcel diamonds in our area. At our last meet, there were 1200 gymnasts and only 12 of them were diamonds. On the other hand, platinum is a pretty competitive level and at big meets there are usually 100+ of them. Anyone know why...

Welcome!

Nope! There are a lot of older xcel girls in our area.

I can't help but that's a really cool skill, good luck :)

That's insane!

It takes some time, but just think about pushing as hard as you can off of your leg, pulling your hips over your shoulders, and pushing through your shoulders.

You can email your coach and ask to do something else or conditioning during your private. If you think it'll hurt to use it for anything you should probably just stay home.

Thanks for the reply! Yep, I do lunges, pidgeon, pike, etc. I've seen some improvement, so I'm going to keep working!

Hmm I think I've heard of that, but I don't think I've learned. I've pretty much got right and left so now it's just middle. Thanks for the help!

Hmm. I skimmed the article, but I have mixed feelings about this. I've always kind of secretly liked that you could fake it and make the judges believe it. I guess we'll have to see how this goes!

Good for him!

Yay! I had mixed feelings about a four person team.

Yep, I always stretch after a run (I've read stretching after cardio helps), and I try not to go straight to splits. I usually only do ten seconds, I'll try thirty and see if it helps. Thanks!

I've finally decided it's time to really get those splits down to the floor, and I've been practicing splits along with other basic stretches most days for about 2 weeks, but haven't really seen any improvement. Does anyone have any advice?

Yes, that's what the girls at our gym do and they all have 10 start values.

You could do a cartwheel but I'm not sure about a tic tock being an acro skill. Plus, you could probably find a much easier option.

Make sure you're kicking with your front leg hovering off the ground because you'll get a lot more power.
