Aerobic Gymnastics is perhaps the most dynamic and energetic of all the gymnastic disciplines. Finding its roots in the group fitness and aerobic classes of the late 80’s. Immediately recognisable for its high energy and heart pounding routines set to lively ‘up-tempo’ music.

Whats is
AEROBICS
The basis of all aerobic routines lies in the performance and combination of seven basic aerobic movements involving both the arms and legs: March, Jog, Skip, Knee Lift, Kick, Jack and Lunge. Mastering these movements is often the focus of introductory aerobic gymnastics programmes.
As gymnasts improve their co-ordination and speed of movement they sequence together counts of continuous complex and high intensity movement patterns to ‘up-tempo’ music.
A winning routine will typically show clean and balanced movements with perfect technique.
If you’ve got energy to burn then Aerobic Gymnastics is the sport for you.
The first thing that blows away audiences watching Aerobic Gymnastics is the speed and cardio-vascular nature of the routine with traditional aerobic steps combined with acrobatic elements, jumps & leaps whilst demonstrating excellent flexibility. The synchronisation, interactions, lifts and ever changing aerobic movement show in partnerships is always enjoyed by the audience. The routine will include various skills from the 4 element groups of dynamic strength, static strength, jumps/leaps and flexibility/balance.
