At Home Gymnastics Workout plans to help you improve in gymnastics
We get emailed all the time about gymnastics workout plans that can be used at home. We know many of you go to gymnastics classes, but are still looking to improve and practice at home. So we’ve created gymnastics workout plans that can be used if you have some home gymnastics equipment.

Since there are many gymnastics levels, and even more variance of skill levels within those levels, we’ve divided the workout plans into beginner, intermediate, and advanced. They can be modified and adapted based on the level of your gymnast.

We’re first going to take you through some principles that are important when working out, then through a warm-up, event workout plans, and a conditioning workout plan.

Gymnastics Workout Plans for at Home

Principles for a Good Home Workout

Before we get started with the home gymnastics workout, we want to discuss a few principles that will lead to a successful practice.

Quality is More Important than Quantity

If you rush through the exercises or skills without focusing on your form, you will not be working the proper muscles and won’t see the same benefit from the exercise or skill. One of the reasons practicing is so important is to teach your muscles the right way to do a skill, so it will be easier in the future. So to reinforce the right habits and muscle memory, focus on executing each skill and exercise with a good, tight body position.

Make Sure to Follow a Progression

Everyone is at a different level, so make sure you work up to each activity or skill. If you can’t do a skill or exercise, make sure you learn it at the gym before you attempt to practice it at home. If you can’t do a certain number of repetitions, work up to it.

Everyone is Different

Everyone’s body is different. We are all put together differently, and have differing levels of strength and skill. According to Delavier’s Women’s Strength Training Anatomy Workouts, because of the way we are all different, some exercises force us into unnatural positions for our body, whereas, others feel very natural (15). So, if a movement or exercise is uncomfortable for you, simply don’t do it.

Safety is the Priority

You should never practice anything at home that is not safe, and that you have not already learned at a gym. You will see in these home workout plans that we do not recommend any skills that we think would be unsafe to practice at home. We think that home workouts should be mainly focused on practicing body positions, form, and basics in order to master them. So even in the advanced level workout plans, we recommend sticking to variations of basics.

Ok, now that we’ve discussed the principles to keep in mind, let’s dive right in to the gymnastics home workout plans!

Warm-Up

You will want to start out with a dynamic warm-up to get the blood flowing to all the muscles of your body. You want to stay moving throughout your warm-up, as studies have shown that dynamic warm-ups are more effective than static stretching.

Here is a simple warm-up, but feel free to do your own, or the national team warm-up.

  • 30 Jumping Jacks
  • 30 seconds of jogging in place with high knees
  • 30 seconds of jogging in place kicking your bottomgymnastics warm up
  • Swing arms from side to side, up and down 5 times each
  • Roll wrists and ankles 10 times each
  • Walk across floor in relevé, and then on heels
  • High kicks — forwards, backwards, each leg 10 times each
  • Stand in straddle, lean to right leg, middle, left leg and hold for a second each — do this 10 times
  • Stand in left lunge, twist to one side hold, twist to other side — do this for right lunge also
  • Sit on floor in straddle, lean to right leg, middle, left leg and hold for a second each — do this 10 times
  • Sit on floor in pike with feet pointed, hold for 10 seconds, flex feet hold for 10 seconds
  • Stretch out splits and hold each for 10 seconds
  • Bridge-push through shoulders hold for 4 seconds, tuck and roll — repeat x 2

Warm-up any other part of your body that doesn’t feel warmed up yet.

Once you’ve warmed up, you can workout on just one event, or several. If you are going to do conditioning it should be done at the end so that you don’t tire yourself out before you practice.

conditioning gymnastics workout plans

Conditioning

Conditioning is the most important part of training at home to improve your gymnastics. The stronger you are, the more successful you will be (think: Simone Biles). When you are strength training, you want to be doing vertical pulling, vertical pushing, horizontal pushing and horizontal pulling exercises –and equal amounts of all of them. In the intermediate and advanced workout plans we’ve included exercises that include each of these types.

Also, never add resistance (weights) unless you can do the exercise correctly without resistance.

Below we will lay out the conditioning workout plans first and then explain the exercises.

Conditioning Workout Plan: Beginner

Exercise Repetitions
Push-Ups from Knees 10
Arm Bends with Pull Up Bar Bend your arms while hanging on a pull-up bar,
Hip Lift 5 reps x 2
Squats 5 reps x 2
Fitness Ball Leg Curl 5 reps x 2
V-Ups 5 reps x 2

If you can do the beginner conditioning workout plan with ease, then maybe it’s time to move up to the intermediate plan.

Conditioning Workout Plan: Intermediate

Exercise Repetitions
Push-Ups  10
Bent Over Rows 10 using 2 lb dumbbells x 2
Chin-Ups with Pull Up Bar Try to do 5, if you can’t just try to bend your arms from a hanging position

Squats 10 reps x 2
Fitness Ball Leg Curl 10 reps x 2
V-Ups 10 reps x 2
Planks Hold for 30 seconds x 2

If you can do the intermediate conditioning workout plan with ease, then maybe it’s time to move up to the intermediate plan.

Conditioning Workout Plan: Advanced

Exercise Repetitions
Push-Ups  10 reps x 2
Bent Over Rows 15 using 3 lb dumbbells x 2
Chin-Ups with Pull Up Bar 10
Hip Lift  15 reps x 2

Squats 15 reps x 2
Fitness Ball Leg Curl 15 reps x 2
V-Ups 15 reps x 2
Planks Hold for 60 seconds x 2

Conditioning Exercises

Listed below are descriptions of how to do the exercises in the workout plans above.

push ups

Push-Ups: Get into a straight-body plank position with your shoulders over your wrists. While squeezing your core and butt, bend your arms. You want to focus on your body position and only go as far down as you can while still maintaining control of your movement. Raise your body again by straightening your arms to complete the repetition.

bent over rows

Bent Over Rows: Stand with your feet together or slightly apart and your arms at your sides holding light dumbbells. Lean forwards slightly while keeping your back flat. Make sure to squeeze your core. You want your head to remain neutral. While squeezing your shoulders together, lift your arms up until the weights are near your hips. In a controlled movement lower the weights back to the starting position to complete the repetition.

chin ups

Chin-Ups: A chin-up is similar to a pull-up, other than your hands are gripping the bar differently. In order to do a chin-up, start by facing your pull-up bar and grab the bar with your fingers pointing towards you, about shoulder-width apart. Start in a complete dead hang, then squeeze your shoulder muscles and pull-up until your eyes are at bar height. That is one repetition. Lower slowly and repeat.

hip lift

Hip Lift: Lie on your back with your knees bent, your arms at your side and your feet on the ground. Lift your hips toward the ceiling, hold for a second and then lower your hips back to the floor to finish the repetition. Make sure you are keeping your back flat and squeezing your butt.

kettlebell deadlift

Kettlebell Deadlift: Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart. Place a kettlebell between your legs, in line with your ankles. With a straight back, looking in front of you, bend from the hips, and reach down to pick up the kettlebell in between your legs. Your shins should be vertical and your lower back should be flat. Then pushing through your legs, return to a standing position.

squats

Squats: Stand with your feet hip to shoulder-width apart. You can either do squats with your feet pointing out (with them slightly at a diagonal angle) or your feet pointing forwards. The squats will work different muscles depending on which way your feet are pointing. Keeping your back straight and your core squeezed, lower yourself with your weight on your heels. It can be easier with your arms extended out straight in front of you parallel to the ground. The goal will be for your thighs to become perpendicular to your calves, but only go as far as you can while controlling the movement. With the weight of your body in your heels, push against the floor and raise yourself back to a standing position in order to complete the repetition.

gymnastics conditioning exercise

Fitness Ball Leg Curl: Lie on your back with your heels resting on a fitness ball. Then squeeze your butt and your core and lift your body off the ground until your body is in a straight line from heels to shoulder. As you squeeze your butt, pull your heels in towards your hips, until your legs are bent in a 90° angle or more. Then straighten your legs and return to the starting position to complete the repetition.

v-ups

V-Ups: Start lying flat on the floor with your arms over your head and your legs straight and squeezed together. Using your core, pull your legs up at the same time as you pull your upper-body off the floor, making sure to not arch your back. You want your hands to touch your feet. Lower both your upper-body and your legs back to the floor to complete the repetition.

planks

Planks: You can do a plank exercise from either your wrists or your elbows. When you are in the plank position you want to be squeezing your legs, butt and core. Your shoulders should be over your elbows, and your body should be in a straight line from your head to your feet. As you are squeezing all your muscles and maintaining a straight-body positions, make sure to breathe!

After you have done conditioning, you will have completed your workout!

    What if you don’t have any gymnastics equipment at home

    Reply
    • Jaclyn January 21, 2018, 12:39 pm

      There are skills you can do without equipment. Jumps, leaps, cartwheels, rolls, handstands against wall, etc. on floor, all of the vault workouts don’t need equipment, and if you have some sort of straight line, you can work on all of the beam skills. Plus, some conditioning can be done without anything.

    My daughter is super strong but super tight and not flexible. Her coaches say that her tight shoulders among other tightness is going to keep her from advancing. DOes your skill tracker have a stretching motivator? I try to get her to stretch but she doesn’t do it. SHe is 8 almost 9. Thank you so much!

    Hi,
    Im a level 2 gymnast and cant get mt kickover no matter how hard i try. I can do a backbend, front walkover and front handspring but the reason why I’m not moving up is because I’m really lousy and back walkover, back handspring and bridge kickover so do you have any tips for these 3 things?
    PS I love this website thanks,

      I would say just keep conditioning. This is the most important thing to get your skills. Good luck! 🙂

    Jenna and others with a similar situation, I struggled with a kickover too, only being able to do the walkover from the momentum but they wanted me to get my kickover before o started the walkover. Honestly the other coaches never minded spotting me on that and giving me drills and once I mastered the walkover i could do the kickover on its own. Here are some drills that my coaches have given me. Practice these at home or in the gym. Also remember the easy walkover is your leg on the ground in front and travelling up then kicking over the harder one is your leg at horizontal and going into a backbend right to a kickover. Okay drills. First get spotted on a one legged backbend. You can also walk your hands down a wall while doing it if you can’t get spotted. You can try this over a barrel or rainbow mat as well. Another good drill is where you put a couch cushion or something on the floor and put your foot on it. Then try to backbend down. You can again have a spot, mat, or wall to help. Then add another couch cushion and repeat you should at the end be able to do the couch and have your leg straight out at horizontal. Once you get better at this do backbend rocks with kicks keeping straight legs.Then, try to get over. Drive your legs, and focus on the leg on tbe ground when you push off. Make sure to rock once before doing the kickover. Then try doing a backbend by the wall and climbing up then kicking over and go lower each time. Eventually your foot will slip when you are so low though then use a couch or bed. Try tick tocks so a front walkover but instead of standing right up kick back over and then kick to the bridge and repeat. You can use a bed or couch for your foot or do it on a slight hill. Then try using a folded panel mat and kick over. Each time lower it a little. Then try just on the panel mat. Connecting the backbend with one leg and kickover takes practice just do lots of reps. A good middle area of the skill to work is a split handstand. Try getting a spot for one or putting the front leg on a bed for support. Make sure to stretch your bridge. You can do this by putting your feet on a couch then rocking. Also stretch your splits. Make sure they are square and you don’t just go into a split to stretch, go into seperate stretching positions. Go on one knee and put your leg straight in front and lean forward. Also do front kicks and back kicks to improve active flexibility as well. Needle kicks are great too. Then do a sitting lunge and lean forward. Try and do some easier conditioning like squats, wall push ups, jumping on and off a high block mat, lying leg lifts, super gymnast, hollow holds, hollow to tucks, v ups, and also pushing up into a bridge coming right down and pushing up again repeat a lot. You can try getting skilltraker but it is more for leaps and turns and scales then other skills but it is helpful and thee drills come in handy for other skills and the flexibility and strength us always beneficial. If your wrists hurt while doing these, maybe get wrist supports which are like braces you can practice with because they are not as restraining in movement. If it is scary to do then on a mat maybe try a tumbletrak or a trampoline first. Don’t forget that doing these things once won’t cut it. Repeat and repeat. If you truly want these skills, you might practice at least a half and hour per day. I hope this helped. Good luck!

    Maybe try your backkickovers near a wall – climb up the wall from the backbend position to get your feet over

    Hi I’m a former level 3 gymnast and I used to do gymnastics when I was little. Now I’m a self taught gymnast and I cant do a back kick over. If you have any tips please let me know. Also if you have any tips for splits that would be amazing. I’m super flexible but I can’t get my splits.

    Hi
    Could you please help me!
    I can’t do a backward roll and I really want to do it. I don’t go to a gym (I just watch video’s at home.) I also don’t have much equipment, so I can’t do Bars or Beam.
    Thanks
