My Lilttle Gymnasts

The little girls have been taking Gymnastics at the YMCA this year.  It is a laid back program that they seem to enjoy - well they fight us until they are actually in the building.  They leave happy so that counts for something.  We are concerned with them working on core strengthening exercises and feel that gymnastics is a great way to accomplish this.  We aren't pushing for competitive gymnastics because the gymnasts ship sailed when the one pound birth happened.

Parents aren't allowed in the class except for a couple times a year.  We don't really know what they do for their 45 minutes except move from apparatus to apparatus.  We were very surprised when we got a handout mentioning a gymnastics show and time that the girls were supposed to perform.   We were even more surprised when we attended the show.  Gymnasts from ages 3-18 performed and there were hundreds of people in the audience.

The girls knew exactly what they were supposed to do and when to do it.  Here are a few clips.
