Looking for some basic gymnastics equipment
Hey, as the title says, I am looking for basic gymnastics equipment for an outdoor space, I think it will be good for my boys training, get him a bit more nimble. There are some gymnastics classes nearby that he can join, he does however, think it's a bit "girly" at the moment, but I'm sure I'll win him around. Any pointers on where to look?? LA. Had a look on google and found http://www.used.forsale/gymnastics-equipment, seems a good place to start but not a lot of variation. Thanks!

Re: Looking for some basic gymnastics equipment
I would look up online how to build parallettes, as well as how to build an outdoor pullup bar....there are so many different ways to tackle developing overall coordination and gymnastic ability without building a facility. Hope you find/found what you needed.

"Girly"? You mean like when NFL players take Ballet and Yoga to improve their mobility? :-)

"Girly"?
You might want to inform him that a lot of us wound up pole vaulting because we weren't strong enough to do gymnastics.
