On our bag list is to be able to do a laying back tuck! I have taken gymnastics lessons as a child plus gave it up when I went to school… Now as a 25 year outdated female, I am trying to get back in the game.
It has been taxing getting our flexibility, strength plus balance back.
First, I am out of shape! Second, due to this I am afraid to try a lot of things tumbling related. I have tried laboring out on our own. I do stretching, balance training plus have begun weightlifting. I also have been practicing tuck jumps in preparation to achieve our goal. I know I need to take this a step further. I have looked at fitness centers in our town plus found a personal training 1. I am thinking about taking a group fitness class a few days a week to get back in shape. I need to tone, build muscle plus get flexible again; Once I am back in shape, I then can have confidence to try our tumbling out. I will start slow with doing mainly handstands, bridge plus splits, but then I can transfer into back handSpringtimes, walkovers plus maybe transfer into tucks again, then but, that is a long ways away. I noticed that the gym does want the clients to list their goals. I wonder if I say I want to be able to tumble again plus achieve a laying tuck, what they would do. I bet they would work on our butt, leg plus ab muscles to assist with this dream. It certainly would not hurt telling the personal trainer what the end goal is.
