Request for spotting as the skill

safely complete a skill. body awareness, concentration, control, and
tension. Do not perform a skill out of
pressure.

Shapes
01 Arch
is achieved by pushing your hips forward and keeping your chest
open. Lie on your stomach with your arms by your ears. Keep your
legs straight as you lift your heels. Also remember to keep your arms
straight while you lift them up.
02 Bridge
Requires you to lie on your back. Position your hands on the floor by
your ears and bend your legs. Push your hips toward the ceiling and
arch back. To form an ideal bridge, make sure you have straight legs
and shoulders pushed our over the hands.
03 Hand stand
It is performed by extending your body toward the ceiling in an

upside-down position. Stand up straight with your feet comfortably
apart. Kick with your dominant leg, raise your arms, and then
carefully tip your body forward. Keep your arms and legs straight as
you balance your weights on your hands.
04 Hollow
is the opposite of the arch shape. To execute this, lie on your back
and place your arms by your ears. Lift your head and legs slightly off
the ground, but maintain lower back contact. Squeeze your legs
together while they are slightly in front of you and round your chest
inward.
05 Lunge
begins by standing with your feet together. Take a big step
forward and bend your front leg. Slightly turn out both of your
feet. Extend your arms upward to create a straight line from
your rear foot to your hands.
06 Pike
entails bending only at your hips. Sit on the ground with your legs
straight out in front of you. Depending on the degree, some
gymnastics skills will require you to be essentially folded in half at
your hips.
07 Split
is one of the key flexibility skills. To perform a side split, maintain one
leg forward and the other leg backward. Keep your hips as square as
possible. This means that they are aligned. Note that stretching daily
is preferable to stretching for a long time in one sitting.
08 Straddle
involves separating your legs with neither leg being forward

nor backward of the other. Start with your body facing forward
while in a sitting position, then spread your legs apart to form
a 180-degree split or more.
09 Straight stand
is a ubiquitous position in gymnastics. This is the most essential

shape to master. Stand with your bottom clenched, hips tucked below,
and core firm. Remember to raise your arms straight and by your
ears.
10 Tuck
is accomplished by bending at the hips and knees. Sit on the ground
with your legs in front of you. Bend your knees until they touch your
chest and your feet are tucked close to your body. Pulling your knees
out to the side enables you to compress the tuck further, resulting in a
quicker rotation during performance.

Fallacies
1.
Gymnastics is only for girls.
• The belief that gymnastics is a sport exclusively for girls is a

misconception, for the benefits it offer similar for both boys and
girls. The benefits of gymnastics are the same for both boys
and girls, Performing gymnastics conditions hand-eye
coordination and builds upper-body strength, helping young
boys to excel in other sports as well.
2.
Gymnastics is a dangerous sport.
The involvement of flexibility and agility skills contributes to the

notion that gymnastics is surrounded by hazards. But in reality, it
is not dangerous when a gymnastics program is tailored to the
ability and needs of the age group. Hence, it is important for
trained teachers and/or coaches to guide gymnasts in learning
how to safely perform these skills, regardless of their ability level.
3.
Gymnastics is simply a fancy dance.
• While it is true that an element of grace is essential in

gymnastics, the grueling process behind this is often
overlooked. Gymnasts must be resilient and dedicated to be
successful. They spend a lot of hours practicing to hone their
craft. In addition, gymnastics increases flexibility, strengthens
muscles and improves coordination, making gymnasts athletic
all-rounders.
