He also wants them to squat their bodyweight, a goal that he says most of his athletes achieve quickly.<br>One key auxiliary exercise in Ayars program is the overhead squat, one of the BFS power balance exercises.  My experience has been that the 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 beam, 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 sport 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 receiving the most criticism for pressuring girls about their weight is cheer-leading. <br> If you look at the gymnasts who compete at the junior 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 help 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 all the way up to competitive junior Olympic teams. They also have popular recreational and tumbling classes. Ayars says that gymnastics usually costs more than most other sports, which he attributes to a lack of support from taxpayers who are more willing to subsidize main-stream sports such as baseball.<br>Ayars is vocal on the subject of how public support affects gymnastics in this country:  Men s gymnastics has been hurting at the international level because it s really developed at the collegiate level, and over the past 10 to 12 years the college men s gymnastics program has really been gutted. At the last Olympics our teams didn t do too well, but since then our international women s teams have been doing much better. <F`7/[E"Y^%96MdY#9n8s~b]}V+,={tP2yrc<<7De GC PFʨ Z*Fdχɽ@%kj!CD>.F"Vmc=̆ؗgBx 3d_k!sċfm%NZ68j} ѹa>~]~*sRY158b)=ә1)דf'05ާ 镘f# Q9fD *S~CbJE1l}b3np.d[$܁91T\$ 4 x(zE'Z%!#n?kMƯy%zi!TP p",ς0p\-jꚇ-&(5أOgFa4޵?#ȗ%PRAa]i~]XcmcR9:]O8G K6=~z瞼:)&>;#:FֺwvS{m&4?V])"zlV(-FhHi7R*0&>-o!?*NYQׅZQlďʯ(w,僌T o6]Kis4׃>7ix㓜V tt4Y{V?q-WI]AV$l/8M^N l?E.$fTAei6 aiлCuŨhrIvdVuSr5Y̎qkJ@on=%٦*auҼZY*.o[Z Oliv"(RcSX=S$28@9Ó%^T}VDt-̚FkǚK ,Fɛ\DGd!zkIJev<\d\kPe9sӨ5l=h 9n76%Qˇ*Pއb j` iD)ÆUrHJ'(q7Q\ثӗ .j~pW #aXW9BfT)VR'+6E*OPKI#ĐR:&ij:}9K4NĀXPO.<{f+v*쐤CnHmLj=xLQOAÊޕ8.JP1wo#-UlŰnk9oӆH&1!RKQ628<^VԌOCLإ_ktP1Vk0r K6-fh㻈;MF?k%xе(OO5 DvOё-N4T`'|1՗V]rUz֞spfZRp~]/֚7zS;O๱Yb!d *`|g\$XyyC51!ԫ/biA$z_w4Y:0!dTa 9ǖu9/-ˤpІjI]p7;"Pet;Xly#䄕u پpr G" 1([*ݔigtk#Y=:׏!^5a F*j͛lUԡҠeUi1FPt|Aʒ*x'ȥޮlZJ  mri,DdCDALuTc@YBraBylSv2ŽhNxϦ֜JC~U\M>aK8WVmO?兀y[Pq% WSji:K2lNb'mʨY1ܾLiC,"X9sWMCAo4 :[Wi̡P*ѫ'+ cȃGa\q3 !ϟLO)ntFV2+-ݯ|qoox'_)SuyI]gVyX'ԢɤP[ \>S?l<3LO#kKI cщC@?UAU0yP̋K[UO^f?jFL4u$tȞiOkQh^L%6~_r*Dr,H 01;iliXǗ.Ts5:Fn$sC*3+$\|HF?2m4ݛfP9УzRZD?]q3GƥGU?|_QTby7jr uy"4lJ{?k `)IXVx=  0ok_.l.$h[OҫO824FRw+<_8D=!"m";x"\y>R֗L?hbZZ9Qd93Qxs+sah=hP6^ ]RiAʒIwƺ`Ǿ*w5q#Q؅U,h1K*쯮α{m|rXy=KR6 L̢x}?N?H,m-.G@ENDA#إ~&`kGOu/KWjeCEuq>W<2]Rc^\}9Tx_%'_@> GPe*1e~tr@ CN'Ɖq{fRj{W._j7"+pΠ\.ez y*7U#fqBNo۾r<`EV$BBz9ywrXHvw/໸Y&qaD_0܆-/3$+]ƹ(-K5#Wܩ3nwK-NI p@6K-wLaTڻ<$) Dxטn@M+2n{a떍/'zQ:f _:ͬ4/#ŏrYj˯`sYܧzT[p 5;#mkտH3 +)koX-cl: ZZVupOR|r<=V*$AHM{͑l<(븥r qE;SrqZҵIka$V+_l!jTl74t%iNӞ!ֈ(@,5ރ#mU <aDVftH#Ic$H8}R&j_ IG&V>N, 0|"R }Ap"zh/&G crx_VzNHqam`5s %V7< ~r(j _SRı4괣 3S"J2jFx~G.A]a%VY1 [*R>? 8&;m-m)G?J#w{pZ}NW*TPGZ~/ @4;U Uæ+#{ǵ1C^l;c6L ·zWn-:=xԀ!}|aKCn-Մlc(h X 0vۦyTwq4̍7FK(fRݢ?w3??R y?erD\r oI#aOơ[tIúP Չ4Y552 w6pRp}5+ӯ]r=(𶣑G_Hߴ.!C9hX|;XEΤ^٪񖦔 f;;^8%)7,fGdv%SNEkZ
