Return to start position and repeat exercise on the left-hand side. To Exercise the Front of your Thighs

Kneel upright on the floor, with knees together.

Lean backwards and clasp your right ankle with your left hand.

Slowly bend your knees, until your thighs are roughly parallel with the floor.

its good and healthy to have muscles. it makes your stronger and makes you a better gymnast. look at the professional gymnasts, there all muscular. its healthier to be muscular because it makes your immune system stronger to help prevent you from getting sick. It greatly reduces risks of injury. and being strong helps prevent any pain, example, your sitting on a hard chair, if your thin and boney, your bones will get sore, but if you have muscles, you wont get sore at all. same with sleeping, if you have more muscles, you can cushoin your bones and give yourself better posture to be come comftable sleeping and doing just anything. muscles will make you strong and thats wonderful. if anyone trys to fight you that is weaker than you, you have a high chance you will win. muscles bring you power. muscles will make you perform your gymnasts better, so keep building your muscles, because the more muscles the better!
