How do I improve my Gymnastics skills?

How to improve my gymnastics?

  • Hey, I really really want to make my high school varsity gymnastics team. What are some ways I can improve my gymnastics? Any skills, or conditioning or what type of shape I should be in let me know? Please answer

  • Answer:

    It differs from high school to high school, but my guess would be. Floor- Back handspring, Back tuck, Front handspring, Front tuck, Back extension roll and splits jumps, Walkovers Beam- Jumps, back walkover, cartwheel, round off Vault- Front handspring Bars- Back hip circle, Front hip circle, Squat on, Fly away, Free hip circle Stuff like that, but I'm not really familiar with girls gymnastics Make sure to condition too and stretch!

you should work out at the gym if you can but if not than make sure you have good arm strength. practice push ups and handstands around the house to improve that. also core muscle is outstandingly important!!! do crunches and sit ups to help with that. drink plenty of water and get motivated and exercise everyday! doing squats,lunges,and the splits helps stretch out those legs. you have to have a steady front handspring and back handspring to really impress your coach and you'll basically have a guaranteed in. but you have to know how to shout,have spirit, and smile wide. = ] GOOD LUCK

make sure you: - warm-up. i.e. ( running a couple laps, sit-ups, handstands, cartwheels, pushups, bridges, and maybe some backwalkovers.) -stretch your: legs, shoulders, ankles, wrists, do the splits or as far as you can go and hold it for a couple seconds. -practice skills that need work. i.e. (handstands/cartwheels on beam, pullovers on uneven bars and back hip circles, maybe giants, front tucks on tramp, some aerials in the foam pit, back handsprings and front handsprings, increase your speed with the vault.) its hard to tell you exact stunts to do when i don`t know your level. you need to be able to do tumbling on the floor and don`t doubt yourself when trying something new, have confidence or else you could freak yourself out and fall. practice, practice, practice!! good luck. *EDIT* whoever said "if you are not muscular you are not a true gymnast" thats a bunch of bull sh*t cause not all gymnasts are really, really muscular, gymnastics is not based on your muscle, its based on skill.

Take gymnastics over the summer And also dance would really help. It teaches you good stretches and it will get you more flexible. Plus you have to do dance moves in gymnastics and if you are on a really competitive gymnastics team its a requirment to take dance
