This week's gymnastics workout video takes you inside one of the top elite programs in the U.S., Texas Dreams Gymnastics run by Kim Zmeskal-Burdette and Chris Burdette. This video shows their second training session of the day back in November of 2012 as they worked new skills for the 2013 elite season.

U.S. Senior National team member Kennedy Baker is coming off an incredible performance at the 2012 USA Olympic Trials, finishing 8th all around. The team's U.S. Junior National team member, Bailie Key, finished 4th all around at the 2012 Visa Championships and will be a favorite for the 2013 Junior All Around crown. The video also features current elites Peyton Ernst, Ariana Guerra, Kiana Winston, and Macy Toronjo who will compete as seniors in 2013, as well as Nica Hults and Ashton Kim who will remain in the junior division.

Why do they start their J.O season so late???

Is Reagan Campbell still planning on trying elite? She wasn't mentioned.

I'm the one who asked about Kim having an Olympian. This was meant as a rhetorical question, tongue-in-cheek -- just like my statement about adopting Bailie. Of course I know that becoming an Olympian takes a church full of prayers, all the stars lining up, a 4-leaf clover, a horse shoe and a bowl of lucky charms. I do think that one day Kim and Chris will have an Olympian because they seem to be doing everything right.

Not to mention that you have to hope that you are lucky enough to be the right piece of the puzzle to fit the Olympic team. Some very talented girls get left off the team simply because they do not fill the holes that are needed once you look at the other girls who are selected.

Making an Olympian is mostly luck. You have to have a kid in the gym who's talented enough (rare), disciplined enough, has the right mental makeup, has a decent body type for gymnastics, has a supportive family, is lucky enough to avoid major injuries especially during major competitions, etc. Basically, a lot of things have to fall into place for a kid to make the Olympic team... A coach can only do so much. The same could be said for any sport.

How can Kim have so many great gymnasts and not have an Olympian yet? Have any of her girls even finished in the top 5 at Nationals? Hope the future is really bright. And that Bailie Key is just the cutest. I want to adopt her.

So nice to see athletes working hard, but still enjoying themselves and their sport! I'm sure it comes through in their performances, too. :)

Is the girl in the red USA sleeveless leo (same as London TF) the same as in the first Raw Ambition video? So great to see her there; looks like she's grown into a great gymnast! Is she a L10?
