This week we had another session of gymnastics with Steven. We had another rotation for us to practice our flexibility, muscles and gymnast skills. Each rotation had a different purpose linking to gymnastics.
Stretches:
1. L Shape
2. Seal
3. Butterfly
4. Cat
5. Straddle
6. Back, Front, Side support
The First Rotation: In the first part of the rotation, there were 4 different things for us to test our gymnastic skills. They were:
1. Beam - Aim: Walk to the on the beam, when reaching the middle perform a jump and then continue walking forward without falling off.
2. Dive Roll - Aim: Kneeling on the edge of the stage, we had to reach our arms towards the ground without falling off. Then we kicked our legs and rolled off the stage onto the mat.
3. Bench - Aim: A forward roll on top of the bench and land standing up at the end.
The second rotation: In this second rotation there were also 4 different objects/things that we had to use.
1. Trampoline - Aim: To run and jump onto the trampoline. Perform a straight jump in the air and land in landing position. Then do a forward roll with the remaining space in front.
2. Backwards roll - Aim: To do a backwards roll and land standing up as the result.
3. The 3 Handstands - Aim: To do 3 different handstands. The first one, we had to kick one leg into the air and try to stay stable in that position. The second one, we had to just do a normal handstand and the third one we had to do a tuck handstand. We had to tuck our legs into our chest and hold out body up.
4. Jump-pad - Aim: Take a running start to jump onto the jump-pad and do a 360 turn and land in the landing position.
The third rotation: In this third rotation, we had 4 more different things to test our knowledge and skills of gymnastics. Those four things were:
1. Handstand - Aim: Do a handstand against the wall holding onto a horizontal wooden stick that was supporting where we held.
2. Front support - Aim: To do a front support and pull our legs as far up as possible behind us without our body touching the support.
3. Parallel bars - Aim: Use the parallel bars to test your muscle strength and flex your legs out in the air. Making sure that our hands are in the middle (not on either ends of the parallel bars) we had a choice of 3 different shapes to do on the parallel bars. They were either: tuck (to simply lift your legs above the ground), L shape (to put our legs our in front of us in a straight position) and Straddle (with our legs apart in the air and holding position)
4. Back, Front, Side Support - Do Back, front, side support on a the hexagon shaped equipment. Having our legs on top of the box and our arms on the mat switching supports.
This week we attempted to gain more strength and flexibility in gymnastics. My favourite thing of this session was the Trampoline and the Backwards roll in rotation 2. The part I found the hardest was the Parallel bars because we had to try and lift our legs up into the air either Tuck, L or straddle.
