Bringing the gym BACK HOME without breaking the bank! (Not too much sby3egm4n
A step up from regular mats, these inflatable mats are much bouncier and come in sizes long" enough to do a roundoff back handspring! They are inflatable but have a motor to keep air continuously flowing (like bounce houses do) I've seen small round ...
Inflatable Gymnastics Tumbling Mats
I try to avoid using images with people, especially kids, in them but that's all they had for this. The first photo is the one I bought for my daughter to practice her back walkovers and it was way more affordable than I thought it'd be! This is a gr...
Gymnastics Wedge - Amazon.com
Yet again, only had pics featuring children but they didn't have a Pic of the exact one I bought, which was pink with a pink mat underneath. This has helped her a lot and can be used inside if you have the room, which we did but eventually put it out...

As you can see as you scroll through the photos, there are different styles of these! I think the most effective one is the first one, where its almost almond shape, to help kids practice their backhandsprings at home with little risk of getting hurt...
Gymnastics Boulder For Back Handspring

Gymnastics Rings
These are just like the long, rectangular ones except smaller and round. They're also a lot cheaper but limited since they aren't very big. Still handy to have at home to practice various things though!
Round Gymnastics Mat
This is your basic gym mat, but these are pretty important and one of the first things I would buy before getting into real equipment. They have a bit of the same bounce as gym floors (but still not as much because gym floors have springs underneath ...

Outside stuff that's helpful for gym but also just fun for kids!
Okay, some of these are super fancy and I'm sure expensive (even though they look so fun!) But the basic ones in the first 2 and last photo are sufficient enough IMO. When I was in gymnastics as a kid myself, my biggest tool for at home (since gettin...

These keep your ankles tightly aligned while doing jumps and flips to reinforce pointed toes, and everyone in gymnastics knows how important pointed toes and salutes are
These photos don't really give the app Justice when it comes to how big a variety they have for gymnasts in sizes from 2T- teenage sizes. They are super affordable and like I said come in so many different patterns and colors and this is my go-to whe...
Leotards
This is one of the more popular patterns that I see on so many girls at gym and honestly I understand why so many like it because it's cute. I got my daughter want a few years ago but of course through it is definitely a favorite among girls at gym
