Highly recommended.--Michelle Brian, Librarian, Faculty of Education, U&quot;Canadian Materials&quot; (11/16/2012)Getting a child started in a gymnastics program can be confusing for the parent. Terminology, exercises and safety are all concerns and so it is nice to start off with a well-written guide book to familiarize yourself... With colour photographs throughout, the book provides a step-by-step guide to getting started. Accompanying the photographs are descriptions of the warm-up exercises, basic skills, and cool down stretches. Schlegel also discusses competition training and profiles a number of important gymnasts.--Terry Peters&quot;North Shore News&quot; (04/07/2013)
