This book is a great starting point for improving your shoulder flexibility. It is designed for use in the gym or at home, and for coaches, parents, and gymnasts. Shoulder flexibility is important for many different skills, such as walkovers, handstands, bridges, front handsprings and back handsprings. Having good shoulder flexibility will allow you to execute these skills with ease, while bad shoulder flexibility will usually make the skills more difficult to learn. In many cases, the lack of shoulder flexibility results in incorrect technique. The lack of shoulder flexibility becomes very evident in gymnasts at higher levels, where many of the skills require great flexibility. Achieving the necessary flexibility at the higher levels require a lot of work and can be frustrating. That's why you should start working on shoulder flexibility from the day you step foot in a gym. This book covers the most common stretches to increase shoulder flexibility, and many can be included in your warm-up routine.

A comprehensive exploration of the life and works of French ceramicist, Adrien Dalpayrat in a meticulously produced luxurious, oversized format Adrien Dalpayrat was one of the most highly regarded ceramicists working in France in the late nineteenth century. Dalpayrat's recognition came relatively late in life, at age 45, when he first revealed the distinctive oxblood glazes for which he was best known, along with the variety of stoneware forms he employed - everything from gourds to fantastical marine creatures. Dalpayrat's works are included in global private and museum collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Musee d'Orsay, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Cooper-Hewitt. In this book architect Peter Marino shares his collection of Dalpayrat masterpieces, each beautifully reproduced in a luxurious, oversized format with 270 color illustrations. Also included is a foreword by Peter Marino and insightful essays by curator Etienne Tornier as well as an extensive plates section with works by Dalpayrat. With the same trim size and overall design, the volume is the perfect companion to Peter Marino's previous book, Theodore Deck.

Trampoliner er med tiden blevet rigtig billige og kan anskaffes af stort set alle. Trampoliner er sjove, og de giver mulighed for, at born kan udforske verdenen af gymnastik i deres egen baghave. I vores gymnastikklub starter vi nye hold lige efter sommerferien. Det er meget nemt for os at udpege de born, som har en havetrampolin. Disse born vil oftest prove mere udfordrende ovelser uden nogen teknisk viden om, hvordan man udforer disse ovelser. Det gor mig aergerlig at se at mange af de born, der vil lave gymnastik, har brugt hele sommeren pa at udvikle gymnastik ovelser pa trampolinen forkert og har derfor faet det vi kalder "darlige vaner". Denne handbog er lavet for at imodekomme disse problemer. Handbogen gar ud fra, at du ingen viden har om gymnastik eller trampoliner. Vi vil opbygge dine grundlaeggende trampolin ovelser skridt-for-skridt fra bunden af.
