Weekly Work 9/27/13

This week to achieve my goal I went to practice everyday. My coach helped me focus on the basic skills of gymnastics like cartwheels, back walkovers, and handstands. I did all of those to make sure that I had correct body positions to do harder skills. I also focused on flexibility and strength. For flexibilty my coach had me do a lot of different drills to increase my shoulder back and leg flexibilty. We did wall spilts, over splits and she at on me when I did splits so my legs could go down farther. As she was pushing me down my leg wa up on a mat that was 2 feet tall. She set a goal for me to have my splits all the way down with my foot up on the 2 foot mat. For the strength part my coach made me condition alot each practice I ran 5 miles . I also did 250 pull ups, 250 chin ups, 50 one arm pull ups on each arm, 50 one arm chin ups on each arm, 500 sit ups and 400 squats. I also did handstands against the wall for 5 minuets. I have been very sore all week but to do harder skills we have to get stronger.
