Gymnastics Equipment News
What gymnastics equipment is best for at home for a 5 & 6 year old?
What gymnastics equipment should I buy for my 5 year old girl and my 6 year old boy to have at home for extra practice? They are about 1-2 years before starting the competitive level. I don't have a lot of room at home. Will a junior training bar be too flimsy/small for a 60 lb. boy? Should I get an incline mat? A foldable one? Please name the top three things I should buy that will work now and for the next couple of years.
Okay, I have four suggestions:
1. A Chin-Up Bar - the kind that hangs inside a door jamb. This can be used for pullups, chinups, leg lifts, and a variety of other strength exercises. Developing upper body strength will give both of them a huge advantage. Guys have four events that use primarily upper body strength (Rings, P-Bars, High Bar and Pommel Horse). Strong arms are a must! Girls only have one "arm" event (Uneven Bars) - and since they don't use those muscles for much else, that's where girls are usually the weakest. Conditioning at home will give her a huge head start. Make a little chart to hang by the bar so they can keep track of how many pullups, leg lifts, etc. they do - and reward them with a small treat when they reach a certain number. But don't force them to do it - let it be their choice. Otherwise it will become a chore and they'll avoid that bar like the plague. Be sure to hang the bar low enough that they can reach it themselves (you can raise it as they grow taller). And make sure they know it is NOT to be used for swinging or flipping. If they slip off while swinging or hanging upside down, they could be severely injured. (This is why I would strongly discourage you from getting a training bar at home). There will plenty of time to practice skills at the gym, with their coach - and if they've been working on their strength at home, those skills will come a lot more quickly.
2. A foldable Panel Mat - this can be used for a zillion different things throughout their gymnastics careers. Coaches use folded up panel mats for all kinds of drills and exercizes, which your kids will be able to practice at home. Unfolded, they can use it to practice skills that they've learned at gymnastics. Just make sure they're doing skills that they can safely perform on their own. They should never attempt something at home that they haven't already mastered at the gym.
3. For your daughter: a low floor beam. She'll be able to use this for as long as she's in gymnastics. It doesn't need to be elevated; in fact, she'll actually get more out of it if it lays flat on the floor. When you eliminate the fear (and danger) of falling off, she'll be more likely to do a lot more repetitions of the skill she's practicing - which is the whole point of a practice beam.
3. For your son: A Mushroom and/or a set of floor pommels like this:

Pommel Horse is the guys' toughest event. The more he can practice, the better!
I wouldn't recommend an incline mat. For one thing, they're huge and bulky. Unless you have a place to store it (and the energy to put it away after each use), it will become a new piece of living room furniture - and the primary colors they come in tend to clash with most home decor! Also, it won't be useful for very long - they're generally just used for learning a few beginning level skills. And most importantly - incline mats are used in the learning stages of a skill, with the help or supervision of a coach. Having one at home will tempt your kids to try skills they can't do by themselves - which is not only dangerous, but it will cause them to learn bad habits.
Same goes for any other type of gymnastics equipment. Just not a good idea to have at home. If they teach themselves a skill at home, it will most likely be wrong - and then the coach will have to back them up and re-teach it, which will make the process longer. And then there's the safety issue. Even if you think your kids are responsible and careful, one of their friends might decide to try something - and next thing you know, you've got a lawsuit on your hands. And you WILL be found at fault, because you've made dangerous equipment accessible without qualified instruction.
Hope this helps some!

My gym buys our equipment from Tiffin and Gym Supply, and it's good quality stuff. I bought an incline for use at home from AK Athletics, and it's excellent. I've found AK Athletics to be cheaper than the other two.
You wear leotards to gymnastics, and both of the websites have pretty designs! :D
Help on building gymnastics equipment?
I was wondering if anyone knew of a good website with detailed instructions on how to build a raised balance beam. I want it to be 18" off the ground. Also, advice and tips would be greatly appreciated!
i dont know, go to gibson.com
Gymnastics equipment question: What's the "balance pole" made from?
"Balance pole" is the best way I can describe it. A friend and I went to see "Imaginaya," a Russian dancing/gymnastics show at the Beau Rivage last weekend. One of the acts consisted of two BIG guys who held a pole, probably 15 to 20 feet long, between them on their shoulders, and a girl who balanced and did flips off this beam, much like a regular balance beam act. However, the beam was VERY flexable, so the men were able to bounce her off this beam like a trampoline, so in doing her flips she was able to get REALLY high into the air, then they'd catch her on the beam when she landed and it would bend almost to the ground.
The beam is not floppy, however, because at the start of the act the two guys held it vertically against the ground and she climbed all the way to the top without it weaving a bit.
What the heck is this beam made of? It' can't be wood or it would have snapped in half...
funambul, is the technical name for the pole. It is usually made from fiberglass which gives it strength and flexibility at the same time.
