Benefits of Gymnastics

Karlie and Brina ready to try out gymnastics

Several months ago there was a Groupon for a local gymnastics class for more than 50% off regular price.  We purchased two and gave them to the girls.  They were so excited to start gymnastics.  It was quite humorous watching them the first day attempt to do a cartwheel, handstand and all the other gymnastic type stuff.  It didn’t take long though before they were getting better at the different skills.  Here are just a few ways we noticed gymnastic helping in our girls:

• Hand – Eye Coordination
• Boost in Confidence
• Flexibility
• Health & Exercise

Do your kids take gymnastics or other sports?  Have you noticed any positive benefits to the sport?    I included a couple other fun pictures from their first day at gymnastics.  They loved it!

Brina and Karlie ready for gymnastics….let’s go Mom!

Brina doing the bar for the first time (sorry this is fuzzy, it was hard taking good quality pictures on the other side of the glass and with them moving so much!)
