Overall benefits of Gymnastics

Posted on Sat, Feb 27, 2016 @ 18:02 PM
Gymnastics is a great sport to attend for anyone and everyone.
 

This modern day and age.

The world is advancing remarkably fast, perhaps too fast for us to pay attention to the consequences of it's pace or it's power of distraction. Not too long ago, we used landlines to make calls only to family and friends. Now we have mobile touch screen phones, well known as smart phones, that provide us a mass amount of knowledge and phone calls aren't used as often as text messages. It may be distracting as the internet is filled with a substantial amount of entertainment and we can not forget that we in America still have the issue that still rises, which is obesity in the youth.

 The age of gymnastics is unknown, could be as old as thousands of years as a sport or practice from Greece but don't take it as fact instead an educational guess. Long enough to know that it is well reputable sport in the Olympics and an impressive sport at that. Challenging the body to be able to push it's limits in strength and flexibility. However that is not to neglect the mind as well, as it takes a good amount of focus and dedication to execute actions fluently and accurately. The longer anyone does the practice, they learn a discipline that can be applied to anything and especially school! Learning to feel great about one self's success and support their peers in class, learning social skills and a strong healthy foundation in their life. You can follow this link to read the basics of the foundation one obtains from gymnastics. http://www.champaigngym.com/benefits-gymnastics

Like any sport, training and well just plain going out for a walk is great for anyone. Gymnastics is different to some sports as upper, core and lower body are constantly engaged. Balance is improved and as the writer of this blog, being able to walk on your hands is impressive alone. Overall it's a great counter to obesity and every student who attends Los Angeles School of Gymnastics always has fun. In addition, the skills gained from gymnastics can be used in any other sport. This article goes well in depth to some sports, in addition to what skills are learned from constant habit of learning gymnastics. https://usagym.org/pages/home/publications/technique/1999/3/whygymnastics.pdf

You have gotten just the gist of the benefits of Gymnastics and in the upcoming blog, there will be more information that goes in depth as to why everyone should do gymnastics. Thank you for reading LASG Blog, feel free to ask any questions or share your positive experience with gymnastics!

10 Tips For The New Year!

Posted on Thu, Dec 31, 2015 @ 09:12 AM

Since we're heading into a new year, we thought it'll be good to provide some general tips to make 2016 properous!  

 

keep-calm-make-a-plan.jpg

1.  Make a plan and stick to it. 

Too often we go through life spontaneous.  Although this may have you living in a bliss, it won't allow you to accomplish much.  Make sure you make a "Game Plan" this year.  Also, once your plan is written down make sure you execute!  Many people plan and lack execution.  Without execution, there is no SUCCESS!

2.  Find what you're passionate about, then pursue it.

Find every reason to seek your purpose.  You're here for a reason, find that reason.  Why live your life doing things you DON'T enjoy?

3.  Embrace FAILURE.

I didn't say ACCEPT failure, but it's perfectly fine to embrace it.  Failure is the process of growth.  It's impossible to grow without failure.  Stay positive and know that the failure humbles you and prepares you to appreciate the success!

4.  Surround yourself with positivity.

If it's not positive or encouraging, you may have to get rid of it whether it's a person, place, or thing.  

new.gif5.  Try something new.

Why are you having the same sandwhich at the same restuarant at the same time every Tuesday?  Don't limit yourself with comfort.  Life's short, but then again it's not.  Live life to the fullest by experiences new things!

6. Practice "OPTIMISM" everyday.

It's so easy to see the hole in the donut.  (Hmm donuts sound good right now)  A healthy life is rewarded to those who are able to see the entire donut that surrounds the hole.

7.  Don't procrastinate.  

Let's just get it down NOW.  We both know LATER... wont happen.

8.  Continue to build on your solid foundations.

We all have foundations in life for morals, ethics, skills, etc.  If it's good, continue to build on the house.  If it's bad, knock it down and start over.

9.  Smile more.

Did you know forcing yourself to smile can boost your mood?

Did you know smiling can boost your immune system?

Did you know smiles are contagious? 

Did you know... well you get the point.

10.  Try GYMNASTICS!  

Want to try a sport that teaches you discipline, determination, focus, respect, toughness, balance, nutritional values, dedication, and teamwork?  Look no further!
