What- Gymnastics at Home???

That's right folks, you heard me right. There are some things that can be done at home to improve your gymnastics. Namely, flexibility. Flexibility is one of those things that can be trained daily. In fact, if you do train it daily, you will experience significant improvement. So when those commercials roll around you can sit in splits for those 5 minutes. That way instead of being a mindless consumer, you can be a mindless consumer with flexibility. The good exercises to work are as follows:

  • Splits
  • Pancake
  • Pike sit
  • Shoulder stretch over a couch
So I expect to see a marked improvement in flexibility over the next little while... cause, you know, for some reason we coaches seem to think it's important.

Happy Stretching!!!!
