Gymnastics is often regarded as one of the most physically challenging sports in the world. It requires balance, stamina, strength and multi-colored leotards! For any budding gymnast, there's a whole list of supplies to start out with.
Equipment
Equipment is generally expensive and often only sold to certified gyms. However, check out some small trampolines and training videos specially designed for gymnasts.
The Basics
Every gymnast needs the basic uniform: a leotard. Leos come in many different colors for both bobby pins to keep it out of your face (and in line with many competitive league guidelines!).
If you are considering participating in the uneven bars, invest in a durable pair of wrist supports to prevent injury.
The Extras
There are hundreds of fun products that are related to gymnastics as well, so don't just stick to the necessities! Take a look at some teddy bear.
