If you're missing "Trick of the Day" or "Lecture Demo - Do" look no further! This page has lots of instructional videos and activities you can do from home. Follow along, just like you would if you were sitting on the hot floor strip in the middle of July, listening to Ruth explain the basics of a handstand!

Safety: The most important thing to remember when exercising at home is to do it safely!

Let a parent know that you're doing a workout.
Always make sure you're dressed appropriately to exercise (nothing too loose, no jewelry, hair pulled back).
Find a safe SPACE - if you're inside, make sure you're not going to accidentally run into anything. If you're outside, be VERY CAREFUL of cars. If you have a grassy area near your house that would be a good place to practice.
Warm up and stretch before doing gymnastics.
NEVER do an exercise that hurts - if something doesn't feel right, stop immediately and let someone (a parent) know right away.
