Learning Floor Gymnastics at Home - Paperback

by Sebastian Gröning (Author)

This book is for everyone who wants to learn both fundamental exercises and complex floor gymnastics techniques.

The book is structured in a way that allows you to learn floor gymnastics exercises from start to finish in their logical sequence. Each technique is described in detail, including possible ways to practice it and suggestions for spotting.

With nearly 200 illustrations, this book provides everything you need for training. Inside, you'll find:

• A strengthening program for physical conditioning.
• An extensive daily stretching routine.
• Preliminary exercises to gradually introduce you to each technique.
• 19 floor gymnastics techniques, from rolls to back handsprings to aerials.
• Spotting techniques for each exercise to ensure your safety.

From an early age, children are fascinated by defying gravity. Once they start walking, rolling movements catch their interest, and by the time they reach elementary school, they are eager to balance on their hands.

This book serves as a comprehensive guide to the essential floor gymnastics techniques taught in apparatus gymnastics, artistic gymnastics, and sports acrobatics. It includes preparatory exercises that can be performed at home with minimal equipment, making it a perfect supplement to club training or even a substitute for it.

To enhance the training process, the book also describes the most common spotting techniques for each exercise, allowing parents, relatives, and friends to actively participate in the practice sessions.
