If your active children love jumping around and climbing on everything in your house, consider enrolling them in a tumbling class. Tumbling provides a great way for children to get some exercise and have fun at the same time. The gymnastics training professionals at The Victors Gymnastics, located in Rochester, NY, discuss the benefits and basics of tumbling.

Tumbling is a type of gymnastics that focuses on improving balance and flexibility. It is performed without the equipment typically used in gymnastics, including the parallel bars and balance beam, and focuses more on bending and twisting moves. The handstands, somersaults, and flips learned in tumbling develop core strength and body awareness. Even the youngest tumbling students gain coordination, improve their posture, and develop a better sense of timing from practicing the moves.

Many parents look for a fun activity for their children that instills a love of physical activity at a young age. Tumbling classes provide an enjoyable way for children of any age to exercise without it seeming like a chore; many tumbling students gain a love of physical activity that lasts a lifetime, helping them stay fit and active into their adolescence and adulthood.

The Victors Gymnastics offers tumbling classes for children age 5 and older. Each class emphasizes flexibility and conditioning skills, using a variety of cushions and mats as training aids. Every student’s progress is monitored after each 8-week session and the instructors provide an individualized progress report, allowing you to understand the skills your child learns.

The tumbling instructors at The Victors Gymnastics offer a family-friendly, personalized approach to gymnastics, cheerleading, and tumbling lessons for children.
