As gymnastics is my passion of all passions, I recently decided to get back into gymnastics (age 19 currently). I have wanted to pretty much ever since I quit (I had to quit through reasons beyond my control - nothing health related or anything) and finally got the courage to do it. No gyms in...

Tonight I am finally going to ease my way into backwards tumbling. I always had a huge fear about it when I was a competetive gymnast (low levels.... very low) and I have decided that today is the day. I shall begin with a back tuck from the trampoline onto one of those REALLY soft mats and go...

After 8 gymnastics lessons, I am now learning full twisting fronts (off trampoline onto mat at same level). I can do a half twist just fine, but as soon as I try a full I end up doing a barani half-out... It's because, as I try to complete the last half, I kinda go sideways back the same way...

This might be a silly question but bear with me :rolleyes: lol I find that when doing spins/turns/pirouettes on floor, my foot gets "stuck" and stops spinning after about a 1/2 turn. My toes get caught and it just stops the rotation completely. I can do double turns easily on other surfaces...

Next Tuesday I'm going to be starting learning giants on the strap bar. I haven't used it before, but have seen people using it and know how it works and everything. I'm really excited! It's just that the one thing making me somewhat nervous is the thought of losing control and being stuck on...

So I've just about developed callouses on the balls of my feet from trying to work out how to perform a controlled full turn on the beam (I was practising at home on the tiled floor, using the line as the beam for accuracy). I can't work out what I'm doing wrong. The thing is, I can do them on...

Hi guys, hoping for some help with lower back exercises! Both for strength and flexibility. I'm not sure which one I am missing, all I know is that things like front walkovers and bridges hurt my lower back. Upper back is fine. The rest of me is very flexible, no problems with over-splits and...

Hi all :) Where to begin... I joined this forum after stumbling across it while looking for gymnastics home conditioning exercises, and pretty much fell in love with how awesome the whole site is! So amazingly helpful and supportive... I mean who wouldn't want to be a part of that, right...

Hi guys, I'm somewhat new, so consider this my big hello to all! :D My current dilemma is that my practice times (3x a week) go from either 7:30-9:30pm or 8pm-10pm. In order to make it in time to the gym I have to leave one hour early, so subtract an extra hour off the start time and add...
