Hey guys! On today’s call, we’ll be doing a writing activity🤩 bring your fav pencil/colors and notebook ✨ talk soon! xx

After being frustrated for hours after practice, I went through last week’s videos to realize that I had made a big improvement. I realized I was being really hard on myself and only considered catching as an achievement- and disregarded all of the tiny steps of achievement I HAD made 🤣 food for thought today is this: I may not be at my goal yet, but how can I applaud myself for the progress I have already made? 💗 For me, recognition of the smalls steps fuels me to want to take more! Thoughts? sending much love xo!

I've been working on the round off entry vault slowly for 4 years having never trained it when I was younger. Any tips or feedback is welcome since I don't have a coach and I don't really know what I'm doing. I want to be able to do the Yurchenko timer straight to my back without touching my feet. I'm not quite there yet, but getting closer. I've also been doing Pak Salto timers from a single bar to a mat stack for a couple months. This is the first time I've ever done it on the uneven bars with the sting mat over the low bar. I tried to tell myself it was the same thing, but it's still scary. I bent my legs out of fear, but at least I did it. Hopefully I can work on the form as it gets less scary

Last week I attempted the Mukhina. Haven’t caught it yet, relearning the basics this week and will try again next week. I like to put my video side by side to the original like this and analyze the technique. So far I see my knees aren’t bending in front of my feet like hers, causing me to jump backwards too much! Any other thoughts?

Since some of us are just starting our journeys (or just restarting), and some of us are well on the way, I thought it would be fun to have a challenge everyone can do. If we repeat it periodically, we can track our personal progress. The challenge: Bar Hang. Inspired by a game show, Physical: 100, find a bar and hang on it for as long as you can. In order to make this first physical challenge as inclusive as possible, I'm calling any bar that can hold your weight acceptable, be it a high bar, monkey bar, chin-up bar, or tree branch. Don't have a gym? Find something in the great outdoors! This is not limited to hands; that's another challenge for another day! If you can hang from it, it counts, and you can shift position. Other details: You can have an assist to get onto the bar. Please be safe. You are in charge of your personal safety. Proposal: We do this when we join the group, and then once a year thereafter. You can do this privately, or make a video to share! Mods, please remove this post if you want to vet/veto challenges! And if not but there are any other caveats, suggestions, limitations, etc, feel free to add!
