$17 gymnastics “Fun Stick”
Low cost, yet with plenty of uses.
Fun Sticks are a NEW fun product that have multiple uses. Velcro™ flaps on one end of each Fun Stick allow them to stand up on closed loop carpeted surfaces. Use a set for jumping over, marking stations, obstacle courses, and more!
Fun Sticks are an essential element in creating a Forster Handstand Training System, which helps gymnasts learn to self-correct handstand positioning at all skill levels. The Handstand Training System is a great side station for bars that will keep your gymnasts working and learning new skills while they wait their turn on bars.
All that is needed to create a Forster Handstand Training System are Fun Sticks, a wall with closed loop carpet, and a Floor Bar or Beam. For early learners, have students kick up to a handstand with their legs touching the Fun Stick. Move the Fun Stick down on the wall to wrist height and watch your more advanced gymnast’s impressive handstand work.
Individual Fun Sticks are supplied in random colors. Packages of 6 include one of each color.

MAKE FITNESS FUN! Possibly the most versatile piece of equipment in your gym!
Each ring on the 5′ and 8′ Fitness Wheels can be inflated independently for use at varying heights ranging from *12″ to 32″ high, making it perfect for all ages and skill levels to practice hundreds of skills and drills.
Designed to be used with either the open or closed side facing up, the outside edge can easily accommodate up to 13 learners at a time! Use it as a mat stack, wall station, balance station, vault table- the bright colors are instant fun, great for preschool learning and helpful for class management.
The wheel is also stable enough to use upright as a wall station or fun rolling station. D-rings on the exterior make it simple to add webbing or straps to secure it to a set of bars.

Kids’ obesity rate climbing
Canada:
In the last 25 years, the obesity rate among children and youth has nearly tripled. As many as 26 per cent of kids between two and 17 years are now overweight or obese. That number jumps to 41 per cent among First Nations children. …
Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology, ParticipACTION, Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute, Healthy Active Living and Obesity Research Group (CHEO-HALO) are all supporting some new guidelines:
… urge parents of kids aged one to four to get their kids moving for 180 minutes, or three hours, a day. That doesn’t have to mean calisthenics; it could simply mean allowing children to play, crawl or walk – as long as it gets them moving.
By age five, kids should be spending at least 60 minutes, or an hour, a day in “energetic” play, meaning running, jumping around and active playing. …
We’ve got children younger than 18 months in my gym. What about yours?
