The Benefits Of Tumbling
Like most athletic activities, tumbling is a great way for kids to stay healthy and motivated. There are many ways to exercise kids’ minds and bodies. However, few activities offer the full body engagement that tumbling does. With minimal equipment (most tumbling classes only require a floor mat, and in more advanced courses they sometimes require a trampoline or spring track), tumbling encourages kids to get in tune with their bodies and use their unique physical strengths to perform all of the moves.
In tumbling classes, students learn the basic forward roll or somersault, backwards rolls, handstands, and more advanced moves like cartwheels, flips, handsprings, and walkovers. As these moves get progressively more challenging at each level, they allow kids to combine cardio, strength, and flexibility training. These moves help with mobility in the back and shoulders when performed with daily stretching exercises, and are usually incorporated into routines set to lively music.
In addition to promoting better physical health in children, tumbling also improves self-esteem and confidence. This happens naturally as kids become more comfortable with movement and feel good about all the amazing things their bodies can do!
Gymnastics and Cheerleading
Tumbling classes are also a great entryway for kids to become interested in exercise in general. Additionally, they could cultivate a passion for similar activities like gymnastics, dance, and cheerleading. Many of the moves that they learn on the tumbling floor can be repurposed for gymnastics and cheerleading. This is not surprising, since these two activities share the flexibility and mobility that tumbling demands.
Tumbling, also known as tumbling gymnastics, is a form of acrobatics. It’s technically a kind of gymnastics, although it doesn’t contain as many elements of formal dance. Like we mentioned before, tumbling uses minimal equipment. Unlike gymnastics, which can include pommel horses, balance beams, vaults, and uneven parallel bars. As your child accomplishes tumbling “passes,” achievements for passing different tumbling skill levels, these passes are also usually used in cheer or dance routines.
For kids who share a love of gymnastics, cheerleading, AND tumbling, fear not! All Sports Kids offers after school programs for all three activities.
