“Since childhood, my son himself wanted to go to gymnastics: he liked to do somersaults, swing on the rings and jump on the trampoline. There was also the task of building a muscle corset and pumping the chest, as there are small congenital deformities.”
Clothing for training and performance
For regular classes, a T-shirt and shorts are fine, they can cost 500 rubles, and they can cost more. It all depends on the desire and opportunities. For performances it is necessary to buy leotard – men’s gymnastic leotard – its cost starts from 1.5 thousand rubles. You also need gymnastic shorts, their price is also from 1.5 thousand rubles, tights will cost 2 thousand.
