What are some good exercises for gymnastics flexibility training?

Answer by  mrsmyers (474)

When I was a gymnast I learned that the greatest thing for my flexibility was stretching and jumping on the long trampolines. You can do flips and stretch your legs out.

Learning how to do basic floor exercises is a good place to start. Practice left, right, and straddle splits; work on perfecting the butterfly (the position where you sit on the ground, knees out and heels touching, and lean forward as far as you can.) Yoga positions are also very helpful.

If you want to be more flexible, then you should start doing yoga. Bikram yoga is also very good and will help

Do left leg, right leg, and strattle splits every day. Do back bridges with legs straight and hands and feet on the ground.
