Check out my 5 great tips to keep ready and raring to go!
- Drink water throughout the day:
- This will keep your athlete feeling good and ready to do anything throughout the week. It will also keep your athlete going in your gymnastics class.
- Eat an hour before you come:
- This will help many things. First it will help your little athlete have enough energy to complete their class. Being hungry is a distraction and will make your athlete grumpy. Teachers and parents don't want to have grumpy kids!
- Practice simple stretches:
- These will help your athlete be able to keep up and advance a little faster in class. Some good stretches are touching your toes, stretching your arms, and stretching your neck.
- Do simplified moves:
- Find a safe and open area and practice things like cartwheels, hand stands or levers, jumps, and splits.
- Stay active everyday:
- This will improve your athletes mood, their chances for being sick will go down, and keep them more well rounded!
