New Stretching Workout
I hope you are having a nice September so far. Where did our summer go?
This is just a not to let you know that there is a new Stretching Workout available for you. This workout includes stretches for the hamstrings, quadriceps, piriformis, psoas, and more. It is appropriate for adults and athletes.
In relation to gymnastics... Many gymnasts do not stretch the piriformis or psoas muscles, but they stretch the adductors (straddle) and hamstrings (pike) among other muscles. They even "over stretch" the hamstrings, but most often neglect the hip flexors (psoas) and quadriceps.
The great imbalance in flexibility may cause problems with performance and lower body health. For example, when a gymnast performs a split leap or a back walkover and the leading leg shifts outwards, (as if about to "straddle") it could be the result of tight piriformis muscles. Many gymnasts are unaware that this may lead to an unsafe situation on balance beam. If the gymnast's leading leg sways outward during a split leap it could be difficult for her to bring that front leg back in line to land safely on the beam. It is imperative that the gymnast stretch and condition all of the lower body muscles for the most safe gymnastics experience.
This stretching workout will help the gymnast learn how to stretch the muscles most often neglected, the psoas, quadriceps, and piriformis. For safety and health, your gymnast must stretch all muscles in the lower body. Another point, when the gymnast only stretches in one direction she may feel hip or knee pain over the course of time. Any gymnast with pain must be seen by a doctor. If tight muscles are the cause of the pain this stretching workout should help. Always check with the doctor or physical therapist if stretching an area with chronic pain.
Visit www.LegsPlusWorkouts.com to go directly to the Animated Training Programs page on our website, www.GymnasticsStuff.com.
And besides the Stretching Workout you can download many gymnastics conditioning, speed, Legs Plus, and other sports and fitness workouts. There is even a sample workout for you to download at no cost.
And did you know that I offer web based training? I create workouts based on YOUR goals. The animated workouts are emailed directly to you on a weekly basis.
Let me know how I can help you...

Gymnastics Training in NJ
Private Gymnastics Training: Gymnastics Training: Bars, Beam, Floor, Vault, Strength, Flexibility
http://www.BestSportsConditioning.com
I offer private gymnastics lessons for USAG level 5-10 gymnasts as well as USAIGC, high school, and JOGA gymnasts. Training may include skill technique, flexibility, strength, or progressions for returning from injury, depending upon the gymnasts goals and needs.
Allow me to help your daughter prepare for competition, improve performance, prevent injury, or condition after an injury. If a college scholarship is one of your daughter’s goals, she must train with someone who has already produced successful athletes. Your daughter will gain strength, mentally and physically. She will be more prepared for her sport and for life. If you've been thinking about getting some extra training for your daughter, NOW is the time, before she gets frustrated with her slow progress. I offer training for girls as young as 8 years old and up through college level athletes.
Why should your daughter train with me? Visit www.KarenGoeller.com for my background information. You'll quickly realize that I am the one you should contact when your daughter needs help. Did you know that I am the ONLY CSCS in NJ who ALSO has a tremendous amount of gymnastics experience? In other words, I am an expert in conditioning AND in gymnastics. No other trainer in NJ is more qualified to train gymnasts who need strength and better skill technique than me.
Contact me BEFORE your daughter becomes more frustrated with her slow progress... 888-496-8749
