Hey, I was just wondering what different levels/groups summer conditioning is like. So if you could just say what level you're in and what an average conditioning circuit would look like. Like what exercises, how may reps, and for how long.

Thanks!
 
All levels do "Ninja Warrior" on Tuesdays...
Quadruple steps (we only have 4 blocks, so can't do quintuple steps)
Beam jumps (they actually jump a very high beam 3 times ... hands on the beam, not feet. Then the same on a regular beam)
Sloth under a 3rd beam
Run and squat on or straight jump onto vault.
Glide on low bar - rainbow dismount
run to jump on springboard catch the big set high bar... swing a couple times... release and catch the low bar and kip out of it if you can.
Run upstairs and hand walk across parallel bars
Rope climb without using the legs
Run downstairs to the floor and do 5 press ups
Repeat everything x2.

Monday and Thursday conditioning is different.
Sometimes they do Zumba on Thursdays too.
 
We do circuits during summer more than usually because we have more space (no rec kids or any other groups). We have 4 practices a week so usually one is a circuit (6-10 different spots, 30 sec each, 3 laps). One day a week we usually do some kind of fun competition, for example we do 10-15 different moves (V-ups, push ups, burpees, squat jumps etc) together and they have 30 seconds to do as many as they can. They count their good ones and get one point if they have the highest number. At the end the winner is the one who gets most points.

Once every two weeks they have a test day when they work with a partner and we always do the same exercises (vey high box jumps, leg lifts, push ups, V-ups, chin ups, rope climbs) and the partner counts the maximum number they can do with proper form (some of those things are timed, 30 secs). We write down the results and they can see their improvement.

On one day we do bars specific conditioning with lots of casts, drop kips, glides, hollow and arch holds, straddle casts etc. They usually wear grips to do this. They have a conditioning sheet they have to complete.

Usually on those days they have dance we do a quick cardio warm up which also counts as conditioning. The girls or we set up an obstacle course with lots of jumping up and down (blocks, hula hoops, barriers, spring boards, mini tramps etc).

Also once a week we build up a split leap / split jump circuit focusing on active flexibility.

Other days they just complete some of the conditioning sheets we give them.
 
H-E-double hockey sticks on earth... :p

2 hours of condish every day in the summer. Lots of cardio, including 15 minute run, sprints, beam runs, obstacle sprints, jumps, bike, etc.

As well as normal things such as rope, plank, v-sits, chinups, and hollow rocks. Numbers certainly up in summer though!

This is for all levels, but the higher the level, the higher difficulty/number of reps there are.
