Kinley starts Gymnastics

Kinley has an abundant of energy and is always dancing around.  We decided to see how she did in a gymnastics class.  We are also considering a dance class later in the summer.  These pictures are from the first few classes.  Enjoy!

There is a window between the class and the parents....sorry for the glares.  Kinley seated and waiting for Coach to instruct them.  She was sooooo excited.



They were getting ready for a meet so they had rotations for each area; floor, bars, balance beam and vault.  This rotation is to help them with handstands, cartwheels, etc.


No lie, this was on her first try at a handstand.  Coach helped her up, but I'd say she has pretty good form.


This was a piece of cake for Kinley.  Jumping and landing on the mats at the same time.


Bars were next.  There were four stations of bars.  On this station they had to have their feet on the bar next to the hands and swing.



Finished product.


On this bar she had to climb the mat and put her legs over the bar.


Finally, climb the mat on the wall and flip over on the bar.


The next week, time was spent on the balance beam.


Kinley did really good on the balance beam, she even remembered to point her toes.


Finishing their floor routine with a handstand.


One week we went on a different night due to a conflict and Kinley had the coach all to herself.  Here she got up on the bar by herself and swung her legs.


Another improvement from the couple weeks earlier.  She was able to get her body on the bar all by herself and swing.
