Advanced Warm Up Stretches for Kids Gymnastics & Tumbling

Hi! My name is Matt, and on behalf of expertvillage.com, I’m going to show you some stretches, some basic exercises that you should do before doing gymnastics, or basically any sport or strenuous physical activity. If you want some more information, go to lagymnastics.com. Okay, you’re going to go chin to your knee. Now chin to your other knee. You’re going to want to do a butterfly. Stretch down. You make a pike and stretch down again. You make a tuck; you tuck and roll. Put your hands back like this, put you hands on floor; make a bridge. Always go back and tuck and roll. Climb up on your knees; put your hands on your hips. You’re going to try and do some splits so one leg in front, make a lunge. Big space under your knee, chest up tall, and you push your knee straight, hands on either side, and go as far as you can. This is far enough, if you can farther, go farther, and you switch legs. Take a step and make a lunge. Okay, then stretch your leg straight, hands on the floor, and go and do splits. As far as you can. If this is far as you can, that’s fine. If you can go farther, go farther. Then you want to do the splits in the middle. Both hands down on the floor, straddle, go as far as you can all the way down the middle. If you on a line, put your heels on the line and your hips stay over that line. You’re not way over here and you’re not sitting down here. Your hips are over the line and you go as far as you can.
