Melson from Carrollton, Georgia asks....

I made my kip on the high bar and low bar today!!!! How can I perfect them? Straight arms, tight legs, etc.... I

Dear Cami Brooke: Congratulations on getting your kip. That is on of the most difficult skills to get on the uneven bars and it is a huge hurdle to overcome. There is no magic in perfecting that skill. Just do a ton and it will get better as you increase the number of repetitions you do. Do some by yourself but continue to do them with a spot so you can focus on form.

Way to Go!

Have a great summer,
