Your son does not need to be a professional gymnast to get life skills and qualities out of gymnastics. In fact, gymnastics is a foundational sport, which greatly strengthens skills in other sports. If you ever wondered what a boy can get out of this sport then check out these 3 facts.

1. Core Strength

Gymnastics strengthens muscles from the center. Boys will develop iron abdomens, strong balance, and arms and legs that can lift them up. A lot of football players use gymnastics to tone their core muscles.

Gymnastic exercises that tone muscles: rope climb, straddle, hollow-body

2. Endurance

Gymnastics teaches prolonged exertion of energy. A male gymnast must be able to endure long conditioning and exercise. Endurance teaches boys not to quit when things get tough.

Gymnastics exercises that teach endurance: rope climb, L-seat, split, handstand

3. Flexibility

Gymnastics develops fluidity in joint and imagination. Gymnasts are challenged to think quickly, adapt on the fly, and move their bodies in fluid motions. Being flexible in the body and mind is an essential trait for a successful child.

Gymnastics exercises that teach flexibility: split, bar chin up, tuck, full circle on pommel horse, back handspring
