COOL

When I got this book, I hadn't even started gymnastics. So I could't do most of the stuff in it. So I only recommend it to people who are beginners and who's coach has already gone over it.

This is a very good book for young beginning gymnasts.

I thought that it was a good book for just beginning, but if you want to get it make sure you are just starting or it will be all stuff you already know and it wont be of very much use. I was in level 2 when i got it, but i think it would be of more use if i got it last year.

A GREAT BOOK FOR GYMNASTS!

This book is great for young gymnasts. Or any age as a matter of fact. The foreword is by Shannon Miller, America's most decorated gymnast. This book tells you how to do some basic skills and warm-ups. It covers each apparatus in gymnastics, including rhythmic and sports acrobatics. If you're a gymnast, then this is the book for you.
