Have you practiced gymnastics today?

Gymnastics is a sport that involves full body exercises and is intended to improve body awareness, while displaying strength, balance and agility. Whether you are a martial artist, football player or just have a desire to be fit and lose weight, gymnastics should be part of your fitness training program. We often relate gymnastics as an after school program we take our children to. However, gymnastics is a bit more then that. You can see the benefits of gymnastics just about everywhere you look. You see gymnastics in action movies, at sporting events, in martial arts competitions and even on your children’s playground at school.

Gymnastic movements even happen in our personal lives.. As we run up the stairs, stand up, sit down, bend over and maneuver ourselves through that obstacle course know as the garage, these are all examples of controlling your body, which all have roots in gymnastics.

Have you ever injured yourself from doing something very simple? Practice basic gymnastics movements everyday (squat, lunge, push up, etc) and it will help prevent injury and make life much easier.
