Gymnastics Are Physically Fit!

One of the most important reasons to introduce children to gymnastics is to help them become physically fit. 16% of children ages 6- 19 are overweight or obese. That's over 9 million kids! Gymnastics is so much fun, your children will exercise in a very fun way. This week's lesson utilizes the mailbox for vaulting and cartwheel skills. Children will also work on cartwheels, handstands, and on their flexibility. Please encourage your child to work on splits and stretching every day.
