Girls Sport Needs More Upper Body Conditioning

My elderly mother cannot open a pickle jar.

Why is that?

Consider the most popular women’s sports. MOST primarily develop the lower body musculature more than core and upper body.

One of the BEST things about Gymnastics are the upper body challenges.

Low swings and hangs on a rope are ideal.

SAFETY – “Skin the Cat”

This skill is called by many different names around the world.

“Spin the Cat”

MOST important is not to have beginners try it on high Rings. Start on low Rings. Ideally so the feet can touch the ground.
