4.0 out of 5 stars
Great guide for gymnasts and parents,
By StarGymnast (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gymnastics (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book for beginning gymnasts and their parents to understand more and gain the best from gymnastics. It's a helpful guide that will serve as a companion during your gymnastics journey. "Gymnastics" features a lot of burning answers to your questions, from what to pack in your gym bag to preparing for competition. It has an easy-to-read format that's interesting and imformative without trying to shove material down your throat."Gymnastics" gives you stories about famous gymnasts when they first started off, conditioning and stretching excercises to do at home, drills and excercises for landing safely, competition advice and information, information about gymnastics-related injuries, information about deciding your future in gymnastics, and much more. It is a very valuable resource that all gymnasts can benefit from. My only complaint is that it is a little bit outdated and it would be nice if a new edition was published. Otherwise, it's a fantastic book!
