Another foray into our favourite sport - great for building strength, flexibility, endurance and confidence, as well as the great "feel good" factor about what you achieve! PS For those who were watching the Commonwealth Games and saw Gabriel Langton's horrific accident on the high bar when he missed a catch and fell on his head, the good news is he is basically OK. We always teach every gymnast, first lesson, how to fall, and safety in gymnastics clubs is always top of the agenda. Unfortunately, sometimes s*it happens in any sport. Take care, and enjoy whatever you do.

Maybe a slightly misleading title here - perhaps you are thinking how to time-manage your workouts with your ordinary life obligations. But that's for another time. We're talking BALANCE as in handstands, head balancing and so forth - the acrobatic art which requires not only a good sense of balance (inner ears working overtime) but strength in the shoulders, upper body and core. Enjoy the examples and maybe give the 'art' a try. You'll enjoy it - we certainly do!  We begin in Tanzania. An acrobatic gymnast 'top' in the making, there. Wait for it...   One for the current heatwave weather...   Finally, we can't resist this little kid in handstand advertising his gym - one in California which has recently produced world-champion acrobatic gymnasts...
