Gymnastics Programming

Posted 13th April 2021 by Anthony Masters

Hello everyone, hope all is well, I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of you over the next couple of weeks. We decided to devise a gymnastics program that requires minimal coaching as to stick with government guidelines. Much of it will be familiar, I removed the skills stuff we used to do at the beginning but there will be some flexibility for those of you that are eager to practice some skills. There is a little emphasis on bulletproofing the knees and getting the grip strength back up as you get back into the groove of things.

I wrote this gentle program in a way that it can be adapted based on your current fitness and needs. Your coach (me or Josh) will explain to you how the program works and advise you on how you can adapt to it should you wish to make it easier or harder and so on.

If you need some guidance on anything particular you wanted to train towards during this time that we are not allowed to teach classes have a chat with me or email: [email protected]
