A typical class:
Gymnastic class begins after a few minutes of open play in the gym. We come together to warm up, starting with cardiovascular activities like practicing different gymnastics jumps such as tuck, straddle, and pike, and full twist jumps. Stretching is next with instructors making sure students are learning the correct positions along with the importance of flexibility.
Once warmed up and stretched, students practice handstands, bridges, cartwheels, and tumbling as a class. During this time, instructors walk around the class to help students one-on-one in areas needed.
After this rigorous opening workout, we provide a few minutes for adults to take a break, get some water, and go to the bathroom, before beginning our gymnastics skills for that week.
Each week, class includes different gymnastics skills for adults to learn and practice, including high, uneven, and parallel bars; balance beam; rings; trampoline; tumble track; floor; tumbling; and vaulting. Students are split into smaller groups to work individually with an instructor, rotating to the next skill once each adult has had his or her chance to attempt the previous skill and get instruction. We cycle regularly through all the different gymnastics apparatus, floor, and tumbling skills. Occasionally, students may be grouped to accommodate different ages and experience levels at a specific skill.
Class typically ends with a cool down workout that may include handstands, sit-ups, leg lifts, or other strength-building exercises.
