For my splits, oversplits works the best for making them better. I also try to hold side stretches and pancake for as long as I possibly can, stretched all the way down.
I was blessed with shoulder flexibility though. I'm double jointed. haha
I know theres a good amount of threads about what to wear under your leo when you're on your period..but what about (ughh i hate these words) feminine discharge? I'm the only one at my gym who wears underwear and shorts. Everyone else doesn't wear underwear; but i'm also the oldest one there...
I made a video with one of the junior coaches who made up a routine for me.
She kind of skipped through the cartwheel so I'm not sure if this was a quick skip or she actually wanted me to use this in the routine..
She had one leg straight and one leg up in the air, very vertical, and her hands...
Thanks to the last few posts. Really, I think my body is great. I'm asking how to increase my muscle mass, not asking if my body is okay with everyone else. I'd rather get some straight info than telling me I don't need to change my body. I would LIKE to. I want more muscle.
I bought some soy...
I'm sort of faced with a weight gaining problem.
I started gymnastics in June.
So I'm skinny and a little muscular. I want to be like, a thick muscley. haha
I'm just not hungry though. Everyday during the summer, I probably eat 2 bowls of cereal, 3 bagels, some snacks, and soda everyday...
Hi, I'm new to gymnastics. I've been doing it for a month and my coach wants me to join team and be a level 5.
What skills should I be practicing? Particularly for floor and beam because those I can do at home :]
Thanks!
Hi, I'm not sure what this trick is called but you go into a backwards roll and push up to a handstand...Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me. It is SO hard for me to get into a handstand from the roll. It just seems like you need an incredible amount of strength.
Any advice?
First of all, thanks for all the replies.
We do have a pre-opt. There are a couple of 14 year olds I think, and theyre level 6.
This is reassuring for me :]
I will talk to the gym's main coach about it.
Thanks!
Hi, so I started gymnastics last month. I am progressing extremely fast. I am as good as the other girls in my class who have been there for atleast one year. I was in gymnastics from age 3-7 and I somehow kept my flexibility and a lot of skills. I know that I'll have the necessary skills to be...
Hi all, I'm new to the forum :]
I'm having some problems with my wrist. When I practice doing handstands and cartwheels on my low beam at home, I sometimes over bend my hands onto the beam by just a LITTLE bit and it kills. My wrists pop and crackle a lot when I try to roll them and stuff, but...
