💙 AS WE MAKE IT INTO THE WEEKEND, LET’S TALK ACTIVE FLEX! 💙
Have you ever wondered what Active Flex means in gymnastics? 🤸♀️
Active flexibility is more than simply being able to stretch into a position. It is the ability to actively use your muscles to control and hold your body in a flexible position.
Think about a gymnast holding their leg high in the air without someone lifting it for them. That takes flexibility, strength, control, and body awareness all working together!
Active flexibility is important for skills like leaps, jumps, kicks, handstands, and many other gymnastics skills. It helps our gymnasts build the strength and control they need to use their flexibility effectively.
At Flip N Cheer, we are always working on more than just getting a skill. We want our gymnasts to understand how to control their bodies and build the strength behind their skills. 💙
So as we make it into the weekend, remember that all those little exercises and drills we do in the gym have a purpose! One skill at a time. One step at a time. Keep working, gymnasts! 💪🤸♀️
