Rell’s Handstand Game
Carrie Spender Lennox:
In my house, my kids know the rule that we don’t throw balls in the house. But, handstands, cartwheels and bar routines are A-OK!!!!
My couches have been pushed aside in order to make room for the Brianna Beam and Junior Kip Bar – and, since we live in the rainy Pacific Northwest, these products are a savior for keeping my kids active!

Having some equipment at home allows them to play with such creativity, outside the structure of a class. During this past holiday break, I heard the familiar, “Mommy, watch this!!” and found Rell upside-down against her Handstand Homework Mat playing a tossing game with her stuffed animals and my pots and pans. …

trapeze at the Gym Club
I love swinging Rings and Trapeze. Great FUN. Great upper body strength development. Great aerial awareness.

2) injury on landingStill … I do many variations of this activity with kids starting age-4. Carefully. Long before I start swinging on a stationary bar.

I love seeing kids on Rings. It’s one of the best upper body fitness activities.
Obviously we need good matting when introducing inversion.
