For conditioning, since we are only in the Gym for two days a week, I am following a whole-body approach every day. We try to do at least 10 different exercises starting with the core. Leave the number to do up to the dice, the Red one is the 10's place and the Yellow one is the 1's place. Always call out the conditioning skill prior to rolling the dice. (If the number is below 30, conditioning is that number on each side or each way. Otherwise, the number is total for all sides)
1. Core - Tower sit-ups (All three ways)
2. Arms - Reverse plank pull-ups on the bars (Cassii can demonstrate) - Use mats to elevate feet so a 30-degree angle is achieved in their body position. (see picture)
3. Legs - Alternating Jump Lunges
4. Core - Back Extensions (with a partner) on Vault table or edge of the trampoline.
5. Arms - Handstand Shoulder Touches (They may come out of the handstand and go back into it, however, They must do at least 5 touches in a handstand at once to count them.)
6. Legs - Calf Raises - Toes together, and in turnout. Ankles are ALWAYS together.
7. Core - Cucumber Peelers
8. Arms - Dips on the tumble track - make sure fingers point forward.
9. Legs - Flutter kicks, on their stomachs, on a panel mat edge.
10 Core - Scissor V-ups
End of the night stretching:
Over splits on tumble track - one minute on each side
