Problem: Article: Technically, there's no maximum age limit for becoming an elite gymnast. You can start any of the training levels at any age at or above the minimum age requirement. However, it's no secret that younger, smaller gymnasts have an advantage. In order to build the skills you need to become an elite gymnast while you're still in your teens, start training while you're a child if you can. On average, elite gymnasts start training at around 4 years of age. Some, such as Simone Byles, start as late as age 6, while others may start training as young as 2 or even 1! Children can start learning the fundamental skills for gymnastics as young as 2-3 years old. However, many programs require that kids are at least 6 years old before they begin training for serious competitions. Elite gymnasts have to put in serious training time in order to stay in shape and keep their skills sharp. While the exact number of hours you'll need to spend training aren't set in stone, most elite gymnasts train for about 30 hours each week. Gradually increase the hours you spend in the gym as you advance through the different training levels. When you first begin training, you might start out at about 6-8 hours a week, depending on your age, your training program, and how much time you have. While flashy, advanced gymnastics skills might seem more exciting and impressive, they're all built on a solid foundation of more basic skills. Focus on being able to do the simple, foundational skills before you try to learn anything fancy. Some good starting skills to learn include: Handstands Casting Splits Handsprings Roundoffs Turns It takes a lot of strength to perform elite-level gymnastics. Gymnastics coaches use special strength training routines that are ideal for gymnasts. Talk to your coach about which exercises can help maximize your strength without causing your muscles to become too big. Your routine might include exercises like: Handstand pushups and presses Straight arm lat pulldowns Casting to a handstand Flys Pull-ups Being flexible is another key to success as a gymnast. To keep your joints and muscles limber, add stretches and range-of-motion exercises to your regular workout routine. Ask your coach to help you choose stretches that will be safe and helpful for you. Before you start stretching, warm up your joints by moving them slowly in a circle, both clockwise and counter-clockwise. Do static stretches, in which you hold a stretch for about 10 seconds, to help loosen your muscles and prevent strains and sprains. Do dynamic stretches, such as kicks or lunges, to help warm up your muscles and improve your circulation.
Summary: Start training as young as possible. Be prepared to train at least 30 hours a week. Master the basic gymnastics skills. Incorporate strength training into your routine. Stretch regularly to improve your flexibility.

Problem: Article: They should include long screws and wall anchors that will hold the straps firmly to your wall. You will not need to drill into the case itself using this method. Use a stud finder to search for wall studs. If possible, find two studs and secure the bookcase with two straps to ensure a good hold. Secure the bookcase into wall studs whenever possible, instead of using wall anchors. It is best to secure the bookcase without the books in it, and then fill it up once you are finished. Draw a vertical line. The two cross-hairs are the locations where you will drill your wood screws into the wall. Make sure the adhesive layer is facing down. You will peel back the clear plastic cover after you are done drilling. Use a cordless drill. The number of screws may depend on the brand of Velcro straps you use. If you couldn't find a stud, you will need to make pilot holes and insert the wall anchors. Then, screw the wood screws directly into the wall anchors, where your lines meet. Peel back the clear cover from the sticky adhesive and press the strap onto the top of the bookcase. For best results, don't remove the adhesive strip to realign, or it may lose some of its hold.
Summary:
Purchase a set of Velcro straps. Use a stepladder and a pencil to draw a horizontal line where your bookcase meets the wall. Remove the books and move the bookcase away from the wall. Mark the stud locations with a pencil. Ask someone to line up the straps vertically and hold them in place. Drill the wood screws into the center of the straps, where there are holes for the screws. Move your bookcase back into place, at the level where your screws are placed in the wall.
