Gymnastics???????????????

Love Is A Riddle~*: Gymnastics???????????????
Ok. I am ten now. And when I was in first grade, my Mom signed me up for a 4 week gymnastics program. She thought I didn’t like it. In a way, I didn’t. Only because I had bowling and swimming on the same day. Anyways, I want to join gymnastics again. I’m not that flexible though. I get the opportunity to do that 4 week program thing again. Should I?

Okay this is what you should do:
If you love it and you want to get that opportunity then go for it, but if you don’t love it then don’t go for it.
But at least get a little flexible so that it doesn’t hurt so much when you have to do stunts that need flexibility.

Well one of the things that you need to do is to get is split and this is something that worked for me to get a little more flexible in this is too just sit in a straddel when you are doing homework or watching tv or reading a book just sit in it for a little way.

Another thing is to get a bunch of pillows and just slide down and hold it with hands for 30 seconds and 30 seconds with no hands. And then take a pillow away and do it all over again. Oh yeah in almost every stunt you need to use your flexiablity with splits, so you want to make sure that you stretch it out so that you don’t pull a musle.

Then another big issue is back and some things you can do for that is bridge and if your at home then go to the end of your bed and go to about your shoulders and fall down so that you hit your hands and then flip over and land on your feet only you want to step out and after your down with that then go for it foward and keep doing that until you think you are good.
You really need to stretch your back out, because one time I didn’t and I came back from gymnastics with my back hurting a lot and I iced it and everything well my mom took me to the doctor turns out I pulled a small muscle in my back and I had to be out for about 2 weeks.
Good luck 🙂
