Here I wish to explain another important thing for many gymnasts or athletes. It is very common attitude that people get success to their head and failure to their hearts. This is not right attitude. Just put in your best efforts and never get anything to your head. Moreover, if you fall down, do not lose your heart. Just stand up and chase the targets to achieve success.

Gymnastics is one of the oldest categories of sports in the world. First developed in Ancient Greece as defining half of their notion of Arete, or excellence in both physical and mental pursuits, gymnastic arts were designed to keep the body fit and supple for a wide variety of activities. Developed from real world skills such as mounting a horse or vaulting off of a bull, gymnastics sought to execute the greatest degree of grace possible in ordinary movements. Since ancient times gymnastics has evolved a great deal, but the core value of exuding grace in movements both simple and complex is still at the heart of gymnastics.

Most gymnastic sports, however, require equipment to perform. Gymnastic training equipment mainly comprises the structures necessary to perform different gymnastic tasks. Rarely is any equipment worn on the gymnast themselves. For example, how can a gymnast compete in the uneven parallel bars if there is no bars? Or how can a person compete in the balance beam if there is no beam?

Gymnastics Training Equipment Has Changed With the Times
Gym equipment can be very expensive to purchase and install. For this reason it's recommended that gymnasts enroll in courses at facilities designed for gymnastic training. This oversight also ensures that bad habits are not learned and that the most rigid safety standards are put in place. However, for a more experienced gymnast who needs the flexibility of being able to train at home, there are many relatively inexpensive gymnastic training devices that can be installed right at home. Many of these devices are modified versions of professional gym gear which can be used for strength, flexibility, and coordination training. Some examples include balance boards, parallel bars, and floor bars which are only a few feet to a few inches off the ground. More expensive and elaborate equipment is available if you have the room and the funds, even whole rooms can be installed with springboard floors or higher end gymnastics training equipment.

Gymnastics is an ancient beautiful sport that continues to excite and amaze people of all ages. The important thing to remember when seeking equipment for gymnastics is that safety should always be observed first. Secondly, a beginner or novice is not advised to practice too much without the oversight of an experienced trainer. This not only ensures the safety of the student but will help prevent them from learning bad habits that just might stick. Finding the right equipment is simply a matter of skill, price, and space. Appropriately answer these questions and finding the right equipment will be a cinch.

Gymnastics Training - Ring Exercises and More


Gymnastics Training - Ring Exercises and More
OK, so I've written one article so far on the benefits and superiority of gymnastics training over your typical bodybuilding routine... so now let's get onto some actual gymnastics training.

Gymnastics Training - Ring Exercises and More

Now if you're really into this stuff, I'm going to recommend that you buy a set of gymnastic rings. Why? Because gymnastic rings are incredibly versatile and lend themselves very well to tons of exercises. Moreover, due to the lack of stability they provide (or don't provide), ring training is excellent for working out your muscles. Say you're doing a pushup on the floor, your hands are fixed in place. Now say you're doing a pushup on gymnastic rings... your hands are free to move in any direction. This makes the maneuver much more difficult, and works out all sorts of little stabilizing muscles you wouldn't normally workout. If you don't know where to buy some, I bought a good quality pair of gymnastic rings on eBay for fairly cheap, and received them quickly.

OK, so let's get onto the ring training exercises.

Gymnastics Training #1 - Pushups on Rings

Gymnastics Training - Ring Exercises and More
I've basically just described above why these are so beneficial. Once you have your rings, hand them and lower them so they're just slightly off the ground. Grab the handles, and get into your normal pushup position at the top of the motion (arms straight, elbows locked). A lot tougher to hold yourself up there on rings isn't it?

Now simply do a pushup, and keep good form. I guarantee you will be able to do many fewer of these on the rings than on the floor.

Gymnastics Training #2 - Bulgarian Dips

This is an awesome ring training exercise which you'll really feel in almost your entire upper body. Why the name? Because they were first introduced by a Bulgarian apparently. OK, so raise the rings and get ready to get up on them. You want to get on them in a dip position, i.e. your body upright, holding yourself up with your hands at your sides, palms facing you, arms straight and elbows locked (even holding this position can be quite difficult if it's something you've never done before).

Now, lower yourself on the rings until your upper arms become parallel with the floor. As you lower yourself, turn your hands inwards so your palms are facing backwards (i.e. turn your hands 90 degrees inwards) you as you get to the lowest part of the movement. Try to keep your hands at shoulder width apart during the movement. Now as your raise yourself back up, rotate your hands back to their original position... and repeat.

This is a difficult move, and you may not be able to do many repetitions if you've never tried this sort of stuff before. As you're on the rings, you'll feel this in your entire upper body. It will really work your chest (specifically lower chest) the most however. Search YouTube for "bulgarian dips" to see one in action.

Gymnastics Training #3 - Pseudo Planche Pushups

This last one isn't a ring training exercise... it's difficult enough on its own. Get in a regular pushup position at the height of the movement with your elbows locked. Now, lean forwards so that your hands are now somewhere between your hips and your shoulders (as opposed to directly below your shoulder as in a regular pushup)... keep your elbows locked. How much you can lean forwards will depend on how strong you are at the moment. If you can't lean forwards very much, it's OK... don't force yourself to do something you can't do.

Now simply do a pushup in this position. It's quite tough isn't it. What you're doing here is decreasing the leverage you have to lift yourself up. In doing so you're making the exercise much more difficult without having to add any weight to it. Search YouTube for "pseudo planche pushup" to see one in action.

So there you go... three quality ring training exercises which will really get your muscles burning and will build some awesome strength! Keep checking back, because I'll be writing up on more ring training exercises in the future.

Bodyweight Training Is NOT Gymnastic Training


Bodyweight Training Is NOT Gymnastic Training
Why don't I push gymnastic type exercises? Gymnasts take years and years of training to be able to do what they do, and usually start as a young child. I am not a young child and I don't have the time to spend hours a day to try and act like a gymnast. At one time I could walk pretty well on my hands and that takes great body control.

Bodyweight Training Is NOT Gymnastic Training

Again, the time factor for me is to get in and get out as fast as possible so I can go about my day. If you have endless hours and have no job spend all the time you want trying to be gymnast trying all types of complicated moves.

While you are trying to perfect the gymnast routine I'll be getting some serious training in. I have seen bodyweight training books that push all kinds of handstand training and gymnasts type routines that are not done in any prisons except in the ones created by great marketers.

All the time spent trying to be something you're not only waste valuable time. If you want to be a gymnast and have all the time to dedicate to this type of training go ahead and have fun.
Bodyweight Training Is NOT Gymnastic Training

There is no doubt gymnast are strong, but I wouldn't say that they were the fittest. Gymnastic training is kind of like strength training.

Bodyweight Training Is NOT Gymnastic Training

Meaning gymnasts are waiting in between sets to get their muscles ready for the next iron cross or their next run on the floor or hand balance routine, why? Because unless their muscles are ready and rested for the next exercise they would not be strong enough to continue with the exercise. Again, I go to the way how the fittest men and women train in the military, a wrestler a boxer a martial artist, none are worrying about doing a planche pushups or an iron cross because there is no reason for it, it will not save their lives or get them a victory on the mat or in the ring.

There are even books on gymnastic abs, why? Again a marketing gimmick. Do you really think the only way to get a strong core is to be a gymnast, again complicated will almost always cancel a great workout.

Stop being suckered into thinking bodyweight training is gymnastic training, because it's not.
