What is The Academy of Acrobatics and Gymnastics International?

Why a gymnastics holiday program?

There are many sports programs you could get your child involved in during the holidays. However very few offer the all round all body strength training or require the coordinated skills that gymnastics does. Gymnastics requires kids to use both sides of their brain working together in coordinated activities for example holding a handstand , if the right side and left side of their brain doesn’t work together they will lose their balance. In this way gymnastics is great for cognitive development as well as physical strength.

Benefits of a Gymnastics Holiday Program

Gymnastics Improves overall health and promotes strong bones

Exercise in general can reduce your risk of chronic illnesses, and play a major role in building strong muscles and bones. But exercises like gymnastics in particular help develop higher bone density than sports that are no impact like swimming. This bone density is significantly improved with regular exercise in the spine, neck and hips which can prevent issues like osteoporosis that can develop later on in life.

In the right environment and with the best safety precautions gymnastics promotes safe weight bearing on kids bones. This increases the bone density.
