Gymnastics: Total Body Fitness
Exercise to Get Fit and Boost Health
Gymnastic routines help to raise
general fitness levels by exercising and strengthening a variety of muscle
groups throughout the body, including both the cardio and skeletal muscles.
By raising heart-beat rate, they contribute to improved heart health and
lower risk of heart disease.
Gymnastics: Muscles Worked
Gymnastic workouts are also useful
for muscle-development, as they strengthen and develop the leg muscles
(hamstrings, quads and inner thigh muscles); the hip flexor muscles (iliacus
and psoas major); the teres major and teres minor in the shoulders; and
the hand muscles (palmaris longus, abductor pollicis brevis and flexor
pollicis brevis).
Gymnastics: Body Fitness Benefits
Gymnastic fitness routines improve
body-fat ratio and coordination, and help to raise resting metabolism.
Gymnastic Workouts: Calories
