Do you want to become the most graceful and strongest gymnast on your team? Read on to find out how.
Steps
Step 1. Set goals to achieve
For example, improving the back kick or being able to raise the leg even more in the scorpion. Whatever it is, having a goal in mind helps you achieve it.
Step 2. Do as much exercise as possible
Some people even train for 4-5 hours a day, not counting the lessons.
Step 3. Stretch and warm up at home before starting your workout
The coach usually immediately understands who is the best at stretching. This way, you will earn his respect.
Step 4. Be nice to the other gymnasts during class
Being nice to others will make you a gymnast and a better person.
Step 5. Don't overreact to criticism
Remember that this is only one aspect you could work on to improve your gymnast skills. If you react disproportionately, others will have a negative idea of you.
Step 6. Show up for class on time
Arriving on time shows your manager that you are a reliable person and that you will certainly be present at future tournaments. Also remember to bring everything you need with you, including the leotard and other tools.
Step 7. Remember to keep fit and healthy
This aspect is very important. Follow a healthy, balanced diet and don't eat too many calories. This doesn't mean you should fast, just that it's best to stay away from junk food.
Advice
- Do what the coach tells you and listen to the corrections he makes to the other gymnasts.
- Always do your best: the coach will admire you.
- Do not give up. You will see that you can do it!
- Do some conditioning stretching exercises to increase strength.
- To improve a technique, practice at home.
- Don't say anything bad to your teammates. If they get angry with you, try to solve the situation by talking.
- Do some conditioning exercises at home, such as push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, and other simple stretching exercises.
- Do some form of exercise every day so as not to lose flexibility and fluency.
- Make sure you do a lot of conditioning: V-abs, push-ups, deadlifts, crunches, etc. Exercise in general is essential to improve flexibility.
Warnings
- When you work out at home, don't try to do anything dangerous. For example, if you've just learned a new technique, don't try to do it when you get home. You will be tired and exhausted. Take a nap or shower if necessary.
- Use the tools at home only to try low-level techniques; more complex techniques should not be done at home.
- Don't overdo the stretching (don't pull too hard); you could stretch a muscle.
