It looks like you have the most fun house. I mean a rope in the foyer. Awesome. Are you at Top Flight in N. KY.? |

It looks like she is having a lot of fun! However, while extra conditioning is always a plus, it is important to keep home life separate from gym life. A boundary has to be made otherwise a bad day at the gym turns into a bad day at home and vice-versa. If she enjoys doing these things, as it appears she does, then this is awesome! But if you are having her do reps only to make her stronger then this can be detrimental to her physically and emotionally. This is coming from a gymnast whose coaches had me do extensive conditioning away from the gym. Just watch for warning signs of her getting bored with it, because the more she does, the more likely she is to get bored and quit (unless she is begging to condition!) But in the meantime, have fun! It looks like she loves it and is in a safe and caring environment!She is definitely having fun. Other than our once a month video making to show off, the equipment is just there for her to play on which she does a lot. As a former gymnastics coach and a friend of her current coach I have an agreement to not coach her. I have kept to that agreement and have found that the watching is so much fun. No extra reps here unless she decides to do them. I can't say that gym life and home life are 100% separate because we have so much fun as a family with our hand stand contests and who can climb the rope the fastest. This is not unlike playing catch with your son at home. Similar skills but totally different context. That does not mean I don't tell her to point her toes but it is fun not workout. Games not practice. Check back and see the blog and videos. |
