Gymnastics program – March

Posted 12th March 2024 by Anthony Masters

Hi guys, for the month of March we go into the 2nd phase of the handstand and ring routine phase. Details;

CrossFit Gymnastics (PM class): 6 week Handstand phase begins (Feb – Mar)

Gymnastics (AM class): 6 week spine & ring routine phase (Feb – Mar)

Crossfit Gymnastics (Tues & Thurs PM class); Warm ups will be focused on handstand preparation and practice, this will include shoulder mobility, hand balancing and strengthening to help get better at staying still & moving on your hands. The strength section will combine exercises to help with the pull up and the same for the handstand. For those wishing to continue with their ring / bar muscle up practice they can implement it here.

Gymnastics (Thurs AM class); Mobility will be on improving the ability to move the spine & shoulder blades better and unlocking more strength and movement freedom as a result. The strength work will involve spending time working on various ring routines of choice to help build overall upper body strength and endurance. I will explain and guide you through this section so that you are all comfortable working to your level whether beginner or advanced. To finish off will be a small 10-15 mins circuit with more basic gymnastic & body weight exercises.

See below for programming.
