This week for Kiwi Sport we did gymnastics. Our gymnastics teacher Steve Asked us to do some warmups before we started. Our warmups were stretches to make sure we were flexible and wouldn't injure our selves.
The stretches we did were:
1. L shape - A L Shape is sitting on the ground stretching your legs infront of you and putting your arms strait up in the air.
2. Back/Front/Side Support - A Front support is like doing a push up but being frozen when you go up. A back support is the same as a front support but your doing it on your back and you have your fingers facing your toes so that if you fall you can bend your arm. Lastly a side support is like the front and back support but you're on your side and you have one arm on the left or right and the other arm strait up in the air.
3. Butterfly wing stretch - A Butterfly wing stretch is when you curl yourself up into a a ball but then you have to move your legs apart and then you put your hands on your feet and flap your legs as there butterfly wings.
4. Tuck - A tuck is you curling up into a ball and putting your hands on both of your shins but just so that you don't get black eyes you seperate your legs so that your face can fit in the middle.
5. Seal - A seal is lying on your stomach and putting your hands near your chest and then pushing your upper body up while leaving your lower body on the floor.
We had three stations and they all focused on something. Station one focused our supports, Station two focused on our balance and station 3 focused on our rolling and there was some balance. One thing I did in station 3 was a forward roll down a small slope and a box.
