When I was growing up my next door neighbor took gymnastics. When they would get home from the gym they would run to my house and we would go over every thing they had learned that day. In that way I was taught gymnastics as a child. I learned to do many of the passes that my neighbor would learn and we would do them together. We planned out our routines and practiced them constantly. Our parents were so proud of how hard we worked. You would have thought we were training for an event such as the Olympics. It was great fun and a lot of exercise. We were in great physical shape because of our workout routines that we did everyday for many hours. We actually became very good at it. When my children became old enough to want to take gymnastics I was happy to take them to the gym each day. The balance beams were much different the the balance beams we had made as children. The gymnastics equipment was amazing the first time I saw them. Being able to take advantage of the gymnastic equipment and the balance beams my children will be able to learn many more technique then my neighbor was able to teach me. They will not have more fun then we had though. I began looking online to see if I could get some of the gymnastic equipment for our children to practice on and was surprised to find the equipment online. This is a big help for anyone that is wanting to excel in gymnastics. My children are loving the sport as much as we did. Although I have not turned a cartwheel in a long time I still remember how much fun it was and to watch my children as they advance it reminds me every time they have a session.
