Event Introduction – Tumbling For Beginners

Last Updated Leave a Comment

Welcome to the very first post of the Event Introduction series where I explain the basic stepping stones of gymnastics for beginners. In this post I will be covering the floor event to talk about a couple things you’ll need to know before starting, things I wish more parents and gymnast knew before taking their first tumbling for beginners class.

Much of this information can actually help put you ahead instead of starting out as a novice.

How?

For starters, it’s cost effective to read this introduction course otherwise you could be paying several hundred dollars worth of gymnastics classes that give the same information.

Secondly, it starts you at a higher skill level.

Coaches do trial classes for new gymnasts to find out how much knowledge and familiarity with the sport they have. This helps coaches determine the skill level, therefor they can assess what class level they should be taking.

Now, enough chit chat. Let’s get down to business. [Read more…] about Event Introduction – Tumbling For Beginners

Top 5 Gymnastics Crash Mats For Sale

Last Updated Leave a Comment

You can find gymnastics crash mats for sale that help teach skills on vault, floor, bars, and conditioning exercises. All mats range in thickness from 4″(light padding) to 8″(medium padding), and 12″(heavy padding). First you’ll need to determine the skill level you want to practice, then find what the mat’s thickness needs to be in order to support that skill level (more on this below).

We recommend using Incores Best Landing Mats for their variety of sizes that make it pretty convenient while maintaining a safe quality product OR the Tumbl Trak Pillow Pit because it can fold which makes it easy to move and it can attach to multiple mats.

Nutritional Disaster & Healthy Eating Habits

Nutritional Gymnastics- The Dos and Don’ts to give your kids the edge they need

A young gymnast’s life is full of health benefits: challenging physical exercise, discipline, and of course, FUN! 

But it can also be a grueling existence for both parents and kids.  From the insane amount of driving to and from practice, to striking that healthy balance of homework, gymnastics and family time, this sport requires energy and strength from the entire family.

The more sustained energy you and your gymnast have, the easier you can meet the demands of this endeavor.  As humans, our source of energy and immunity is-

food.

But what we need is more real food.

With the average American getting over 60% of their calories from processed foods, it’s no wonder we are a nation of perpetually sick people, among other possibilities, sure, but what you feed your child is critical to the immune system.

When it comes to your child’s nutrition, simplicity is best.  It’s time to get back to real food.

Check out these simple tips of what to avoid and what to stock up on for the young gymnast.  And it’s NOT just for the kids: following these guidelines will make your whole family healthier and happier.  [Read more…] about Nutritional Disaster & Healthy Eating Habits

Signs Your Child Should Be In Gymnastics

Last Updated Leave a Comment

It is not required to have natural talent in order to take gymnastics classes, just the right mixture of signs.

Actually, “natural talent” is essentially lucking out with the vestibular system, which could be all for nothing if something like determination is missing.

Which brings me to my first important signs of a potential gymnast your child probably has. [Read more…] about Signs Your Child Should Be In Gymnastics

Best Stall Bars For Home

Last Updated Leave a Comment

Every time I enter a new gymnastics gym one of the first apparatus’ I notice, that certainly is not in every gym, are stall bars (stall bars = swedish ladder = gymnastics ladder = wall bars). Which is a little peculiar because of how therapeutic it was made to be.

We determined the Xtreme Fitness Wood Stall Bars to be the best stall bars because of its low barrier to entry costs, ability to fit conveniently in a home, room for growth in fitness routines and physical therapy, as well as resiliency.

For a more cost effective, classic swedish aesthetic, and durable option, the Durable Port Wooden Swedish Ladder would be your second best option. 

I’ll save listing all the things it can be used for for another part of this review. Instead, let’s cut right down to the best wooden gymnastics ladders that are available online.  [Read more…] about Best Stall Bars For Home

5 Best Gymnastics Rings For Sale

Last Updated Leave a Comment

10 years ago..in a time not so different from now..

..EXCEPT for the fact it was considered a feat to find suspended rings anywhere but a gymnastics gym. Nowadays we have things like crossfit as a platform for weighted and body weight exercises which exposed rings as a sufficient way of working out, not sure what took everyone so long to figure that out.

Not everyone can afford to go to a gymnastics gym or a crossfit gym, BUT there are plenty of companies that have monetized the demand for rings supplies for customers to set them up wherever they want. Outside, backyard, in your home, at a park, public bathroom, look I’m not here to judge, I’m just here to let you know what some of the best gymnastics rings for sale are.
