like walking or lifting light dumbbells, to the strenuous, like marathon running, speed swimming, or martial arts training. There are a

lifting your rib cage and abdominal muscles. Rest you arms at your sides. The pike is the basis for many skills, including the pike jump, and is used in a number of holds
on the beam, bars, rings and vault.

Straddle Sit

The straddle sit is the easiest of all of the straddle positions. To execute the straddle sit, sit on the floor with your legs straight and extended to the sides in a V position in
front of the body as wide as you can. Keep your hips squared and your torso vertical. Straighten your back, tense your abdominal muscles and lift your chest. This
position is used in a variety of skills, including straddle handstands and sole circles on the bars.

Tuck Sit

The tuck sit is one of the most frequently used positions in gymnastics. To perform the tuck sit, sit on the floor with your back straight and your abdominal muscles lifted.
Draw your feet toward your body until your knees are fully bent and pointing up. Wrap your arms around your shins and pull your legs closer to your body. The tuck is a
foundation skill for many skills, such as the forward roll and back somersault in a tuck position.

Crossed-Leg Sit

The crossed-leg sit is a common position in gymnastics that is also used as a general position for sitting in a variety of activities and situations, including yoga. To
execute a crossed-leg sit, sit on the floor with your legs drawn up toward your body and your knees relaxed to the outside. Cross your legs at the ankles. This is a useful
position when combined with standing. Moving from standing to a crossed-leg sit and back to standing without using hands will help a gymnast develop core and leg
