Upgrading Jumps & Turns 31 Day Challenge August 2023

Figuring out what the skill values are for skills in your routines can be complicated, on top of knowing what simple ways you can upgrade your jumps and turns to increase your skill value. We know that some coaches leave the choreography and skills up to the gymnast and that can be a little overwhelming. We know how important it is to be informed and knowledgeable so gymnasts can help make informed decisions with their coaches. We created a series of drills and exercises that you can do at home in less than 20 minutes a day that can potentially upgrade your jumps and turns.

Think again! Did you know that sometimes it's really easy to upgrade your jumps and turns, which can give you a higher skill value? If these skills aren't done to perfection, they are skills that have the potential to rack up a ton of deductions in your routine for form? Elite gymnasts know the importance of these elements and can work on them for hours just to get them right. But we bet you're not spending hours on your jumps and turns, right?

The truth is, even though you're spending a lot of hours in the gym, you're focusing on learning and perfecting the bigger skills. If you ask any judge they'll tell you that the dance elements in your floor and beam routines are the most neglected skills and yet the ones most worth focusing on. Not only will upgrading your jumps and turns make your routine stand out, they'll WOW the judges, potentially earning you a higher score!

That's a great question and we have a great answer for you.

The amount of progress you make during this challenge will depend 100% on how much effort you put into your daily challenges! These exercises are designed to give you the most bang for your buck over the next 31 days. But if you don't do them or only do them halfway, then chances are you won't see much of a difference between your day 1 video and your day 31 video.

BUT...if you put in the daily effort and try your hardest, you can make great progress!

My coach doesn't want me practicing at home because s/he's worried I'll pick up bad habits.

We understand why your coach wouldn't want you to develop any bad habits and we don't want you to either. Luckily the exercises you're going to do during this Jumps and Turns Challenge are all ones that will benefit you. We provide you with videos so you can see the proper way to do the drills and because split leaps and turns aren't major elements like back handsprings or giants we're certain you'll get more good out of this challenge rather than pick up bad habits. In fact, any work at all on your jumps and turns will be beneficial to you.

What exactly IS SkillTrakker? I can't really tell.

First and foremost, SkillTrakker is an online community of other gymnasts who are working on mastering different gymnastics skills. In SkillTrakker you can keep track of the different skills you're learning on each event and watch the progress you're making. You can even download certificates as you master each skill! You earn points for completing daily challenges and with your points you can win prizes in the SkillTrakker Store. In the daily feed you can see what other gymnasts are learning and cheer them on through comments and high fives. Basically, SkillTrakker is a really cool way to practice your gymnastics skills while staying motivated and belonging to a community of other cool gymnasts like yourself!

Does it cost money to join the Upgrading Jumps & Turns Challenge?

Yes, in order to participate in the SkillTrakker Challenge you must be signed up for SkillTrakker which costs $7 for the month. At only $7, this is an incredible deal!! You'll not only get daily challenges, community, and accountability, but you'll also get a prize* and you'll improve your leaps and turns! In fact, the cost of a typical recreational gymnastics class in the U.S. averages about $20/hr. The cost for private gymnastics lessons is at least double that. With SkillTrakker you get skill-specific exercises to complete at home , in addition to a tracking tool and an entire gymnastics community, for less than 25 cents per day!!! Oh, and don't forget about the prize you can earn for completing all of the daily challenges for the duration of the challenge.

What happens after the challenge is over?

After the challenge is over you can continue to participate in SkillTrakker monthly (for $7/month) to see even better results. Skill-specific challenges (like the Upgrading Jumps & Turns Challenge) occur approximately every two months. In the off-months we have created themed challenges meant to increase your mastery of mindset tools along with a variety of skills. The Leaderboard gets cleared at the beginning of every month and you'll still earn points towards prizes in the SkillTrakker store. Most challengers find that their skills really see improvement after three to six months of consistent effort with SkillTrakker.
