Gymnastics conditioning is all about isolating certain muscles. Most important are shoulders, stomach and legs. Here are some conditioning drills to try:
*Pull ups. But instead of simply pulling your chin to the bar, tilt your head forward and touch the bar to your shoulders.
*Leg lifts. Concentrate on keep completely straight legs, lifting as high as possible, and not swinging.
*Heel Raises. Best done on a beam or stairs. Raise all the way to releve and then back down.
*Hollow body holds. These are killer. Make sure your shoulders and feet are about inches of the ground, keeping your lower back pressed firmly against the floor. Hold for atleast 20 seconds.

I'm a high level gymnast and we do lots of great conditioning. My favorite is a stomache excersie. You lay on your back with your arms by your ears and lift your back and shoulders of the groud (somewhat like a crunch) 20 times. Then you lift just your feet about 6in above the ground 20 times. Then you lift both 20x. Then comes rocks. You hold a hollow position and rock back and forth 20x. Repeat this on your stomache and on both of your sides. It really works. To strengthn your thighs, stand against a wall and bend your knees at a 90 degree angle and sit there for 1 min. Repeat :D
These will deff. improve your strength!

Jogging and Swimming are both very good conditioning for every sport,
and weight lifting, push-up and crunches
are all really good for gymnastics because you need alot of upper body strength.

Oh it is so not authentic. lady and male gymnasts spend a brilliant style of time in the burden room. you may not build biceps, lats, lower back and shoulder muscle mass for capability to do maximum strikes via in basic terms working in direction of the strikes. you desire capability, the only thank you to construct capability is in the gymnasium.
