Gymnastics for girls is a wonderful way of harmonious development of body and spirit.
Features of gymnastics
If of all the options - rhythmic gymnastics, acrobatics , figure skating, dancing and much more - you chose the gym gymnastics, you will not be disappointed. It is not only incredibly useful for a growing body, but also beautiful!

Gymnastics is a sport in which women compete in free exercises and supporting jumps, perform exercises on a log, on uneven bars of different heights. Even after your child starts doing this, the question inevitably arises as to whether it is worth doing gymnastics for the whole life, or leaving it at the hobby level.
Training in gymnastics has always caused a lot of controversy and speculation. Until now, experts argue, is it not too strong a burden to give such lessons for a girl's body. There are cases when, as a result of persistent studies, the girls were disrupted by the menstrual cycle - however, all girls of their age have similar disorders.Many rumors generate regular victories of Russian athletes - as if coaches do not spare them at all. In fact, no one will force young gymnasts to give up everything in the world in the name of training. On the contrary, when practicing gymnastics, girls get harmoniously developed muscles of the body, which allows them to experience fewer problems (for example, giving birth without Caesarean section). Because of the high rate of training, the respiratory and cardiovascular systems harmoniously develop, which gives obvious advantages against those who do not play sports. And what a royal carriage can boast such athletes!
If your child fits the type - low growth, with a narrow pelvis and other signs - he will be asked to move forward. Statistics show that it is these athletes who are most successful in gymnastics with its stretches and other exercises.

- flip flop forward;
- flip forward in the grouping;
- a reverse (flask);
- back somersault in grouping;
