About Gymnastics

Gymnastics is a sport that focuses on and uses physical exercises which require a mix of strength, balance, agility, coordination and flexibility. The movements involved in gymnastics are a great way to boost your body’s overall fitness. Because of this, training will contribute to the development of one's entire body, including arms, legs, back, shoulders and chest.

The sport can be traced back to the ancient Greeks who used to perform exercises that included skills needed for mounting and dismounting horses and other circus related skills. In other places around the world like ancient Rome, Persia and India similar disciplines were practiced mostly aiming to prepare young men for battles.

Why should I train in Gymnastics?

Gymnastics is one of the best choices for people who want to get in shape but aren’t sure what sport to go for.Although it is very physically demanding it has many different benefits. Recent studies have shown that daily gymnastics training accelerates the body’s general motor skills, physical response and learning skills. Apart from that, the sport allows people to improve their overall physical condition rather than focusing only on one aspect. Going to the gym increases strength, running improves durability, but gymnastics does both and much more! Due to the gymnasts performing splits, spikes, cartwheels and others they also get to drastically improve their flexibility.

Another reason why gymnastics is beneficial, especially for young children is that it helps them develop coordination from a young age.

Are Gymnastics difficult?

Gymnastics is often referred to as a particularly difficult sport to get into. Being good at another sport doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll become a good gymnast. This is because while some sports might require one particular skill set, gymnastics require strength, balance, speed, agility and flexibility among other things. Apart from that, it’s also mentally challenging. Gymnasts also have to perform jumps, flips and twists, sometimes high up in the air which can be scary for most people to get used to. Fear of falling is a regular part of gymnastics and is something every young gymnast will have to overcome on their own.

Regardless of all of the difficulties, gymnastics is one of the most physically and mentally beneficial sports you can choose. As long as you stay committed and train regularly, you’ll quickly see the benefits both in your appearance and mentality.
