What do... Press handstands work? Normal push-ups work? beam push ups work? pull ups work? chin ups work? handstand holds work? Handstand push ups? (like triceps, biceps,ect.?) Thanks!

I have a christmas break from now until next year, and I wanna condition in that time to help me get my kip. Does anyone know of any conditioning exercises I can do at home to help do my kip? How many a day?

I'm not the tallest but I am rather tall for a gymnast. I am 5'8 and a half. I am 16 years old, competing as a 15 year old. All my muscles are pretty dense, but my arms aren't very big. My back is descent sized, and my core is good. I work out around 25 hours a week but I feel like whatever I...

Currently, I have an injury in my right knee and my right wrist, so I won't be able to do much gymnastics for a while. I was to still stay in shape so I'll be able to do great when I return, by my conditioning options seem limited. So far I've been doing lots of Piked Crunches, V-Ups, and...

Okay this past week I have "caught" Kadee doing things. 1. Feet together on the couch, hands shoulder width apart on the floor and a dog toy under her nose. She does push ups this way, coming down until she touches the dogs toy with her nose..holds 5 seconds, then presses up to straight arms...

Currently i am working on the glide kip at gym, but the one coach who could spot me has now hurt her back( and i only had her 1x a week anyway) so although i can work on getting my glides perfect i cant actually work on the kip part, i have a chin up bar at home and some ankle weight and would...

Does your gym give out a home conditioning programme? If so can you share it with us? I have heard this is common and I am wondering are these very basic or do they involve a lot of time and the need for supervision etc?

okay, so i'm a level 5, and i'm supposed to get at least a 70 when we do conditioning testing. last time i got an 83.3, which is okay for me. yesterday, when we had testing, i got 10's on almost everything. today i looked at the score sheet, expecting at least a 90, seeing that i got a 105.1...

Hey everybody! I was wondering if, as a coach, you give conditioning as a punishment? I know our coach does, to the point of bringing me to tears. Do you use conditioning as a punishment? Why or why not?

I coach a small "rec competitive" team that is about Level 4-6 in terms of skill level, but not competing USAG. By design, the team doesn't practice many hours. This is taking some getting used to in my coaching style, but this program is a great fit for certain girls and I'm enjoying it...

Hi!Can anyone give me some ideas/moves i can do for Leg Conditioning?I'm working on my back walkover and i just can't kick over!If you have any tips,can you tell me? thnxs so much! ~Gymnast55 :)

At J's old gym, they went 4 hrs, 4 x a week for L5. 4hrs 3x a week for L4. Her new gym is 3hrs 4x a week for L5. At the old gym they spent 1 day a week solely working on conditioning as team. Climbing rope, V ups, etc. New gym does not. I have seen no real conditioning except for the optional...

I would like opinions/insight or online articles regarding conditioning: How much is appropriate and safe to do in one practice session? How much is too much for girls under the age of 12? Also, any good resources addressing the importance of positive coaching? Thank you!

I need to improve on my arm & core strength. :o

Hello, I am an experienced physical therapist, Kathy Tooman PT. I am interested in helping young gymnasts, parents, and coaches develop conditioned, strong, and flexible gymnasts. A gymnast who is conditioned, learns faster, gets hurt less, and just has more fun. Glad to share information in...

Does anyone have any tips for conditioning cast handstands at home?

Does anybody have some conditioning and flexibility work that I can do at home, during the summer. My club takes most of the summer off, and I want to stay in shape. If you have some sort of plan that I could follow, with numbers of each exercise, it would be helpful. Try and suggest something...

I have a copy of The Fifth Event: A Conditioning Plan published by USGF in 1992. Does anyone know if a more current revision exists or can suggest other written resources for updating our team conditioning. Thanks!

All of my teammates at the gym have different worst and best bits of conditioning so I was wondering what yours are. The exercise I hate most is holding a leg lift while lying on your side: I just hate having the lactic acid build up after literally like a second and still having tohold it for...

Hey Gymnasts, How do you guys keep your mind off of the pain during conditioning????? Really random post but I was just wondering! Thanks!!!!:D:):p
