Ok guys...I really need some help and advice.
I started gymnastics 10 months ago. I always kept fit at home, did some strength work and stretched.
I have all my oversplits, walkovers, tic-toc, round-off back tuck, running front tuck, standing back tuck, back handpring, front handspring, kip, back hip circle, baby free hip, straight arm back extension roll. I can do a straddle press handstand from a stand and can also press up on beam.
I can't explain how much I love this sport. I always wanted to do something, I tried ballet, soccer, basketball but never really liked anything until I found this. OMG, it is sooo amazing I am literally addicted to it!!!!!!!
Now my question:
I am 21 years old and studying, so I can spend about 2-3 hours a day on training, 6 days a week.
Gymnastics requires flexibility, strength and skills.
I definitely already have the flexibility to do higher skills. I am working on my strength as well and this is actually the easier part of the game. I just keep doing my conditioning program at the gym and I am progressing.
But now to the tricky part: skills. I made a quite quick progress although I am just in training 10 months. But I guess, although I have a strong will and work hard, as skills get harder, progress will also slow down.
I am this kind of person who always needs to set herself ambitous but realistic goals to stay motivated and keep going and really work hard. So now I am at this point.
I am thinking about some routines I could have in some years. I want to write them down and always look at it to remember what I am working for! (I always do that)
But I have absolutely no idea what is realistic! Ok, I guess it might not be a triple twist on floor but also not just a RO BH BT. Must be something in between!
I want to get to the point where I have really cool skills that challenge me which I could keep for at least the next 15 years (I want to be one of the teacher who can still do all this great stuff!).
I can work out 6 days a week 3 hours a day for the next 6 years and I could still train on afterwards if I want to.
Could you tell me your opinion what my routines on the 4 events could look like in some years?
Thank you!
