The phases of

gymnastics
Warm up
Every gymnastics training program should begin with a warm-up to
avoid injuries during practice.
The gymnasts in any of association, for example, jump rope or jump up
and down on the floor for about five minutes to start their workout.
Then, they perform head and wrist rolls, shoulder circles, arm swing,
trunk twists, foot stretches and different running exercises.
All of these moves prepare the athlete’s bodies to work on more
difficult skills.
Flexibility
After adequately warming up, gymnasts must work on
their flexibility.
You should never stretch cold muscles, since you could
risk an injury.
During this phase of practice, you should practice your
side splits, center split and back bridge.
You must also stretch your hamstring, groin, quads,
shoulders, calves, and wrists.
All of this will enable you to move your body with ease as
you perform your gymnastics routines.
Strength Training
Gymnasitcs requires an incredible amount of strength.
You can build muscle and become more powerful through
conditioning and other strength-training exercises
For example, you perform a series of crunches, jumps
and V-ups. You can also use dumbbels and barbells,
although you should focus more on repetitions than
weight.
Younger gymnasts should only lift weight under
supervision to prevent accidents.
Skills
After working on strength and flexibility, gymnasts
finally start practicing their competitive skills.
Women train on the vault, uneven bars, balance beam
and floor exercise, parallel bars, horizontal bar, pommel
horse and still rings.
Additionally, both can also tumble on the trampoline,
tumbling track or flip into the foam pit, especially when
learning new, difficult skills.
Dance
Many female gymnasts also devote part of their training
program to dance.
This is because routines on the balance beam and floor
exercise must incorporate dance movements.
Dance will improve your body alignment and teach you
to have more control over every part of your body, which
will then better you form and reduce the risk of injuries.
