conditioning

Hi proud parents, Looking for any similar experiences and advice on how you handled it, or what your outcome was... So I have one DS gymmie who is a conditioning powerhouse - no external motivation required. He just loves it and lives it. Obviously, this pays off on skill acquisition, too. He...

I am looking for some ideas about how to make conditioning more enjoyable for my gymnasts. I teach a competitive class that has the equivalent of level 3-4 skills from the USA program. My girls train 5 hours a week, and will be starting up again in about 2 weeks after having the entire summer...

Hi everyone, I have a questions about how you do your conditioning. At my gym we don't so much of it. What we do is: In the warmup- •Hang on bars and bring your legs up and pike them under/through the bar.. •the same thing but with legs open/L shaped... •c+ and c- That's what we call...

One of the groups I coach consists of 12 gymnasts born in 2005. 5 of them are from my old group and the rest are from other groups. Skill wise they are all pretty equal but there is one child from my old group who has much lower strength level than others. Last year it wasn't really an issue...

okay so I have noticed that I'm not very strong so I made my self a home conditioning list, and I was wondering if I should add or take out anything. So I am the weakest in the upper body, like arms and abs. Which is annoying when you are trying to get your kip before competition season starts...

OK, there's a possibility I may be roped in to coach some conditioning while DD is at practice. It's more trampoline and tumbling kids than WAG, so I figure they aren't going to need some of the upper body stuff (for bars) and stuff like split leaps can be left off. So. I need handstand...

I'm working on my press handstand and I'm wondering what would be some good conditioning?

is it normal for team to spend the summer just conditioning and doing drill and not really working skills? DD has to have kip for august in order to not repeat level 4/3 for a third year (even though no competition until jan) and if she runs to the bathroom or or fixes her rip she looses her...

Does anybody have any conditioning they do at home in the summer. Also any at home drills, cardio, event practice, jumps, or stretching? I have a floor beam and a trampoline I can use too!

hey everyone i just wonder what you guys do at gym when you do conditioning. like what exercises and how many of these do you do? because at my gym we don't do a lot. well i'm never really exhausted after it. and it doesn't seem right to me. it's just i've had a long break from gymnastics and...

Just wondering really! We change our 'mass' conditioning programme every 3 months or so. By 'mass' I mean all the squad gymnasts are doing the conditioning together at the beginning of the session. We sometimes do a big circuit, other times we do it all together, very regimented, or...

At my gym we do conditioning drills when my crossfit manic coach feels like having fun (it may be fun for her, but it is SO not fun for us!) and we also do them for punishment. For me, ALL of them are kinda annoying, but my least favorite (which, of course, is my coach's favorite) is when we...

DD says her coach makes her group do 100 box jumps, 150 tuck jumps, and 20 lengths of the floor for depth jumps. She also said that one day when one of them complained about the box jumps, the coach upped it to 150 for all of them. Is this normal? It seems like a lot to me. (Last week DD had...

OK since I'm really a newbie in my gymnastics class(previously a swimmer) I'd like to ask for some kind of workout for MAG, the only things I managed to do at practice were crunches,pullovers and push ups but I was stunned when some 8 years old kids beat me at doing them. They bodyweight...

I want to start conditioning and stretching at home. I am currently a level 6 but go to a YMCA so I only practice 9.5 hours a week. I am inflexible, and I'm probably weak compared to club gymnasts. Does anyone have a good home conditioning plan/schedule? Please include how many sets I should do...

Any coaches out there have good year long condition plans. (Pre season, comp Season and post season) anything would help thank you.

This is very important to me. I believe we should condition atleast the first 20 min of our 2 hour workout. Other coaches think otherwise. We do not condition at all. I've been told that the actual workout is conditioning enough. Does this make sense? I feel like I should sneak off and condition...

I'm wondering about how much conditioning should be done at practice the night before a meet. Our old head coach would never have us do any conditioning the practice right before a meet, just stretching. This year, we have a new head coach, who will have us do limited conditioning if we have a...

Do you stick to your regular conditioning plan (whatever that may be) the week/few days before a meet? Or do you change it up to allow more time for routine work? Is there anything you add specifically for meet season? Is there anything you will not do the practices before a meet? Our kids have...

I really want to improve my strength and flexibility especially my upper back and shoulder flexibility. I was wondering if anyone has ideas for conditioning that you can do around the house. Maybe also excercises that you can do whilst doing another activity so it doesn't seem like your actually...
