About this title

From the Author:

Dear Readers,

Thank you so much for your interest in my books. I hope that you will find these drills and conditioning exercises as useful for your gymnasts as I did for mine.

Remember, hard work, common sense, and a well rounded training program can result in great success. Best of luck in your training!

From the Inside Flap:

This book includes drills and strength exercises that have been used with Karen's athletes for many years.

Although the drills, when done correctly have proven challenging to gymnasts of all levels, they are most useful to the developing gymnasts in levels one through eight.

Positive feedback has come from many people, including the coaches at a YMCA who used the original handwritten version, the USAG NYS Chairman, and the owner of the gymnastics camp USGTC!

As the owner of a gymnastics training facility for nearly ten years and a gymnastics coach for well over 20 years, Karen has spent thousands of hours coaching, teaching skills through progressions, drills, strength, and flexibility.

She considers it a privilege to have worked at Karolyi's Gymnastics Camp in Texas for seven summers as well as at US Gymnastics Training Camp held in Massachusetts and International Gymnastics Camp in Pennsylvania for a decade of Holiday Clinics. Working at these camps along with working for Paul Spadaro and attending many USA Gymnastics events such as Regional Congress and the National TOPS Training Camp have all been contributing factors to her vast knowledge of the sport. Karen has great appreciation for all those who were so generous with their knowledge!
