My experience has been that th overhead squat is one of the best all-around body exercises an athlete can do, says Ayars.  It works on flexibility, which of course the gymnasts need, and it s very good for working on balance. In gymnastics, having the arms overhead during the exercise transfers well to what they do on the balance bam, because during part of the routine they will have their arms overhead and their knees bent. <br>A Strong Future with Gymnastics<br><br>Although gymnastics is popular, especially at the Olympic level, the sprt is not without controversy. A book entitled Little Girls in Pretty Boxes discusses some of the apparent abuses in gymnastics, especially in regard to promoting eating disorders.  The book painted the entire sport with a very broad brush, says Ayars.  Some of those abuses may take place at the elite level, which is what you see at the Olympics, but the same can be said for other sports at the elite level. Truthfully, the sport that I hear reciving the most criticismfor pressuring girls about their weight is cheer-leading. <br> If you look at the gymnasts who compete at the junir Olympic level, continues Ayars,  the problems described in that book really don t take place with any greater frequency than they do in other sports. And if you look at college gymnastics, you re not going to see a bunch of emaciated little girls they re athletic, healthy-looking young women. Further, Ayars believes that all athletes can benefit from participating in the sport at some level.  It doesn t matter what sport somebody plays, gymnastic training will hel them be a better all-around athlete. <br>The Sandhills Academy of Gymnastics offers a variety of gymnastic programs, holding classes for those as young as 16 months aKٯ/!Eh˺SuO,/.u 9ei~;u?p-+[|UďLS~d,̮ ;`D%R4>c˳}j?]uPX2,JT,aTNmOdAϕ(vyGYf֥4 : ZWdZ /UWNܛ9p?'HV6HTT11 ȧJS:/;hZ_J}UsI Y0)2IUee#bu|`=XZ(U? j~)xX(H}'MB$!˓0#q><7!ʃD`aʍvE4X]ݨB6Tl~aƴV?%7zA{9>λOӴ]Is2{ bXJEC๝zMH횀a$ ᵳl36rd\.r)d⼽<-TcogV2hzܶkc~#h\~?6ZU)i'nEE_k~_NVQ[$P*ui)_o:6&-gkt+|%>mЦY{sy+J2I|S%iSOc%hpE =02\$l̀Ic0;<1،$}PU%YdsF4eb iAL0Clr7gp޽ȩwvĢ 'gU }dK@s~n ,e*?G̓yJGc۸;cHة26"\C9r4S7>,oUҍck^s{j36F⿻(el0PcE?9#}ykCҴ*$[B2@fu=I5` nҀ&xBSٯ_W s~b]- r+ʀ?k <-iOXV630A~Y1^-GOkVRBX$W''$ᔌpy=k\@?J>ScH[ʱM~TwqL:]G P/`i :1k{E{0PzFWh+qnخv+gOb4 'ޑQ; U_ <\,M+pq TIeFcb>f'?sCES,$eWO pH`b|2^zh׷wWa *?8aoB?&\F'xWns* kaOՃ18H4٪K>vYֹֽӖ S1M#P17p&3֔>a0kKra3+uDӗHpalign="center" bgcolor="white" width="620" height="800">

Testimonial Story

BFS President Bob Rowbotham and his son John trained in the basement of their home all through the years John played football in high school. When Johns teammates saw the quick results of the BFS program, they asked if they could train in Bobs basement too. Soon a group of abt eight players were constently trning for the football program at Skyline High School, the winningest program in Utah during the 1990s. After his team won another state championship, John graduated and said goodbye to training in his dads basement.
