Book Review: Head Over Heels About Gymnastics

Thursday, March 14, 2013

I was super pumped when a package in the mail from a the UK arrived. That meant Head Over Heels About  Gymnastics Floor Skills had made it safe and sound to Singapore.  From their website: 
Head-Over-Heels-Gymnastics   is a child friendly book that provides step-by-step instructions and top tips explaining how to perform a large variety of gymnastic floor skills via simple language and eye catching photography. This book is a must-have for budding gymnasts of all ages and abilities, covering many different elements of the sport from balance to strength, flexibility, co-ordination, speed and control in addition to positive body awareness. 

The book begins with example warms-ups and stretches, moving on to cover posture and all basic gymnastics shapes, which are instrumental in performing more complex skills. These skills are then covered in the next sections; Jumps, Skills, Rolls and Leaps. Bringing all of these skills together, the book then demonstrates how combined, these skills can be used to create routines.
