10th Anniversary of Gymnastics Book Prompts E-Book Release
Gymnastics Drills and Conditioning Book (Now in Print and E-Book formats.): The gymnastics drills and conditioning exercises in this book will help speed the learning process and prepare your gymnast for skills, series, routines, and competition. Your gymnasts will score higher at competitions when their tumbling, dance, and uneven bars skills are performed correctly. Every gymnast must master the gymnastics skills addressed in this gymnastics book. The topics include running, vaulting, dance (split leap, switch leap, straddle jump), uneven bars (glide kip, cast handstand, clear hip), and press handstand. These gymnastics drills are perfect for gymnasts in USAG levels one through eight, but they are also very useful to more advanced gymnasts with gaps in their training. Gymnastics Drills and Conditioning Exercises was originally released in print in 2001. The e-book has been released on 1/11/11 for the tenth anniversary of the print version.
Why did Karen Goeller write her first book? Karen Goeller was involved in an accident in 2000 and suffered permanent spinal damage. (It was not a gymnastics-related accident.) She stopped coaching gymnastics as she knew it and left her advertising job with Gold's Gym. Desperate to remain involved in gymnastics and fitness, Karen turned to writing. "I felt like I had a ton of information in my head that was not being used." Goeller then compared the knowledge in her head to "an expensive item in your house that just collects dust because no one is using it." Karen shared, "I was so thankful as a young coach to the more experienced coaches who helped me throughout the years. I knew in 2001 that it was the perfect time to pass on this knowledge. Writing books was the perfect avenue to pass on this information."

It's the 10th Anniversary of my first gymnastics drills and conditioning book. I just released that book in e-book format because it has remained my most popular gymnastics book for the past ten years! This was written to help gymnasts, but many fitness enthusiasts love this book for all of the strength and core exercises. The first edition was used by Greg Glassman to write the CrossFit program. And CrossFit is now a worldwide phenomena. So check out this book now!
Gymnastics Drills and Conditioning Book: The gymnastics drills and conditioning exercises in this book will help speed the learning process and better prepare your gymnast for skills, series, routines, and competition.

The topics include running, vaulting, dance, uneven bars, and press handstand. In the uneven bars section there are drills for the glide kip, cast handstand, and clear hip among other skills.

Gymnastics Training in NJ
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
