One thing nearly all great gymnasts have in common is that they started at a remarkably young age. Even as early as 3, gymnasts begin their journey to gold medals on the world stage at home with the support of their parents and coaches. At least while they’re young, gymnasts can hone their fledgling skills with very limited equipment in the comfort of their own home, which is perhaps more useful now than ever. Basic tumbling and kinesthetic skills can be developed with just a few pieces of gear, of which may make the perfect gift for your favorite little gymnast.
Training a Future Champion at Home
Luckily for the early years of gymnastics training, you don’t exactly need to set up springboards, pommel horses, or parallel bars in your guest room as little ones just need to nail the basics. Most soft and forgiving flooring works great for little tumblers to figure out how their whole body moves along with the first few tumbling moves like somersaults and cartwheels. When it comes to tackling the more daunting floor maneuvers, three-dimensional gymnastics shapes are reminiscent of bicycle training wheels, allowing newcomers to focus on their craft rather than making mistakes.
