Gymnastic Exercises for Men

The Class III and IV Compulsory Exercises were developed by the National Gymnastics Federation to start athletes in the sport of gymnastics. This program is designed to help gymnasts master individual skills and coordinate these beginning level routines. One of the gymnast's primary requirements is proper flex. Coach Paul Ziert begins this program with a comprehensive examination of stretching exercises designed to prepare the athlete for an intense workout while providing an ongoing program of improved flexibility. Each of the Class III and IV events are then performed and examined step-by-step through their component skills. National champion Bart Conner provides his personal insights as you see him perform from the best camera angle and in slow motion.
