WAG "Which exercise best describes a gymnast?"

[stickitforrealnow]

Saw this video today as I am subscribed to saltocafe (love their videos!!!!)

However, after seeing it, I was wondering which you think describes a gymnast best? Which exercise is essential? Do you (or you daughter, or the kids you coach) work on Press to Vs like the girl in the first video?

I think press handstands and legless rope climbs are the best exercise to describe a gymnast

curious about your answers!

handstand presses/levers for me!

I know it's not an exercise, but I love it when the little ones salute the judges- they put their whole heart & soul in that salute!!

Putting on the leo with a grimace because one area is er, tighter than the other...

Legless rope climb, Gutbusters (hanging crunches), press handstands and shoulder shrugs in a handstand.

That's what those are called - gutbusters"?! I wanted to say that too but didn't know!!

And just to add, for the sheer amount of time spent on them at home, at school, at the store- In fact anywhere normal people are using their feet- nothing beats a cartwheel or a handstand to let the world know that you are a proud parent of a gymnast!
