Conditioning
Seven Fundamental Movements
This website emphasizes the biomechanics behind the seven basic gymnastic movement patterns and some recommended program designs. Conditioning questions often
arise among coaches who are seeking to simplify and coordinate their conditioning programs. Suffice it to say, conditioning is essential for modern gymnastics. Gymnasts, particularly elite gymnasts, must be in spectacular physical condition. Gymnasts train their fitness primarily for practice - not competition. This is quite different from many other sports that train for fitness characteristics that will only be seen in the competition.

Test Flexibility
Have students learn about their flexibility by performing a series of short tests. STRETCHING is usually one of the most neglected areas of a workout which greatly enhances your flexibility. It is highly encouraged prior to beginning each workout, during your workout and after your workout. This will help to maximize exercise performance as well as assist in the prevention of potential injuries.
