]]>The bridge is a staple of gymnastics—it’s one of the first skills gymnasts learn and is used in a variety of ways. It can create back flexibility and strengthen the glutes, shoulders, and back.
Handstands are a particularly good strength-training activity. Doing one with control requires flexing every muscle and keeping them tight. Learning to do one will give you more control over your body and is a full-body strength training move.
Splits or straddles are a great way to open your hips and stretch your thighs out. Opening your hips helps with yoga as well as general flexibility.

In gymnastics, warming up is absolutely crucial. Not only will it make it safer for you to attempt all of those tricks, but it will also help prime your body to bend and stretch in all of the ways it will have to.
Something you might find holds you back as an adult gymnastic even more than your body is your mind. The things you do in gymnastics are admittedly scary. They involve flipping and being upside down and, yes, some danger. You’ll have to learn how to turn off the part of your brain that is too scared to try.
In gymnastics, it isn’t enough just to work on skills. You also have to have the strength and flexibility to be able to execute those tricks. So conditioning (AKA strength and flexibility workouts) becomes absolutely key.

]]>Ribbons come in different colors and patterns and are made up of satin. The length depends on the level the gymnast is. When a child is starting their ribbon career, the length is around 5 meters long, while at the senior level the ribbon can’t be shorter than 6 meters in length. The width of the ribbon must be 4 to 6 inches and at least 1 oz. heavy. Every ribbon is attached to a stick made of fiberglass or plastic.
When your kid begins to compete, there are a couple of basic rules that must be followed. Firstly, there are some exercises that must be in the routine, for example, pivots. Secondly, when doing gymnastics with a ribbon the ribbon has to remain in motion from the beginning of the routine until the end. It’s very important that the ribbon doesn’t touch the ground. If it touches the ground or a knot is formed the gymnast is penalized and deductions are taken from her score.

]]>Chelsea began gymnastics at the age of four to help her develop stronger muscles, which is a health problem for most people with Down Syndrome.
“I’ve been doing gymnastics [for] as long as I can remember,” Werner told A Plus. “I feel like it’s always been a part of my life. I think gymnastics has trained me to be disciplined and to work hard. In gymnastics, each new skill takes a very long time — sometimes years! I think that it has given me confidence.”
Not only is she an award-winning gymnast, Chelsea models for We Speak. We Speak is an international agency that promotes self-love and acceptance of your body the way it is.
“I don’t think people with Down syndrome are represented enough,” Chelsea told A Plus in an email. “The more we are represented, the more people will see how capable we are.”
