25.01.2022 How fantastic has it been to have the playgrounds open back up this week?! To celebrate, we’ve put together some bars skills that our Junior Gymnasts might like to try if there’s a bar at your local playground (or even if you’re lucky enough to have one at home!) A challenge activity would be to do each of the shapes shown in the video in a routine, holding each shape for a count of 5! Long hang, tuck hang, long hang, straddle hang, long hang and then end with your motorbi...ke landing. Let us know how you go!
