I realize that as an adult I'm a lot more timid than I ever was as a kid. When I first started my adult class seven months ago I could do a roundoff bhs without a second thought. Then we started moving them off the tumble track and onto the floor and I did a fantastic head plant bhs and now I...
Liseybeast- I know what you mean it's amazing how they can just throw themselves in the air and land safely. Congrats on your front tumbling I miss being comfortable going forward. When I first started doing bhs with a spot I always twisted to the left. They had me work front limber back...
Don't get frustrated Nicki it will come back! Sometimes your brain just takes awhile to click with your body.
Tonight my coach had me forfeit all front tumbling as I have consistently twisted my way out of front handsprings and tucks however when we worked back tumbling I got my first ever...
Wow, you have that many in your class?! Our class meets twice a week and on Tuesday I am the only one and on Thursday there are only four of us.....I kind of wish we had that many, but now I realize how much harder eveything would be. I hope that you get to take the apparatus class to it's so...
Today I did two pullovers on the highbar and started working swings....which I don't really understand, but it was fun! I also can no longer do a front handspring or front tuck as previously we had been learning to twist and now instead of going forward I twist :( anyone know any drills to help...
We have to do basics (forward rolls, handstands, cartwheels and round offs) at the beginning of every class. Then we have a ten minute run followed by two events so one day might be beam and floor and so on. Then we do at least 25 minutes of conditioning at the end. The gym I go to is very small...
Great job! I know I get excited because I can do a front handspring front layout into the pit (I work out with the level three girls and they think it's cool) ;)
What are handstand props? Right now I am working on front limber back walkover to help with my back handsprings because my arms tend to crumple and it turns into a back headspring.
Denton Gymnastics Academy in Denton also offers adult gymnastics on Tuesdays and Thursdays we do all of the events plus conditioning it's really fun and I'm hoping to get more people interested so we can possibly do some meets!
Hi there! I'm new here and excited to see there are other adults out there who love gymnastics and are not afraid to participate. This week I did a pullover on the low bar without any assistance, a front handspring, front tuck on tumble trak and a handstand on the high beam.
