Today marks the beginning of our 6 week gymnastic phase. We will be concentrating on a new gymnastic bias warm-up along with some basic skill work in the pistol, muscle-up, L-sit and handstand just to name a few. The purpose of the gymnastic warm-up is to develop basic body-weight competency for beginner athletes while improving flexibility and strength. For the more advanced athletes, the purpose is to keep them focused and excited while they master the simpler gymnastics movements and start delving into the realm of more advanced gymnastic strength.
