Dance Leotards

I don't do dance, but dance leotards are a lot cheaper than gymnastics leotards. You can use dance leotards in gymnastics and my coach has been saying to all of my teammates that we should get dance leotards. So I went online to find some ballet leo's and they are so cool! They have strappy backs, camisole, tanks etc. I know that they don't have many colors on them, but the backs of the leo's are so cool that I don't even mind that they only made with 1-2 color fabrics.

Here are a couple leo's that my mom recently ordered for me:
Amazon.com: Adult Contrast Strap Tank Leotard,N8839: Clothing
       Natalie Girls Contrast Strap Tank Leotard



     Danshuz Multi-Strap Back Tank Leotard

I ended up only keeping the Danshuz Multi-Strap Back leo because it fit better.   Write in the comments below if you have a favorite place where you get the best prices on leos!

How To Heal A Rip FAST

Image
I know anyone who does bars in gymnastics HATES rips.  They are the worst! Here are some ways to heal rips quickly so you can do bars without pain.     1. Make sure the rip is clean and it always has some kind of oil on it. Some people say that petroleum jelly heals rips very quickly, but it clogs your pores and dries your skin out. It's like putting plastic over your skin. It can also seal in dirt and bacteria. I wouldn't use it. I recommend Coconut Oil if you want something inexpensive. If you want something that has more oils and butters in it, get " Booda Butter " (You can find it in health food stores). And if you want something specific for rips, you can get " Joshua Tree Skin Care Salve "  2. For pain and swelling relief, use warm tea bags. First put some pre-wrap around your hand, covering the rip.  Then place the tea bag that has been soaking in warm water over the top and wrap more pre-wrap over it.  Use herbal teas like Peppermint , C

Acupuncture Healed My Gymnastics Injury- an Elbow Hyperextension

Image
Three weeks before my State meet, earlier this year, I was warming up for my Level 6 routine on floor and when I did my round off backhandspring backlayout, I hyperextended my elbow.  I didn't tell my coach because I have hyperextended my arm before and I thought that the pain would go away. So I did the rest of practice with pain and it continued to hurt when I got home through the next day. When I relaxed my arm and straightened it all the way, it hurt and felt limp. It also hurt to put any pressure on it if I did handstands or cartwheels. So I ended up going to a Sports Medicine doctor and he said not to put any pressure on it and ice it 3 times a day for 20 minutes. At practice I was not able to do much, I mostly did conditioning and standing flips.  State meet was near and the doctor said that I couldn't compete. He said if I hyperextended my elbow again I could fracture the growth plate and the recovery time would be 6 to 8 months! He also wanted me to get a MR
