[BrunetteMille]

The girl at 0:07 who jumps pass the camera, wearing a purple bikini top and black shorts. The young one. Who is she? I've been looking for her for such a long time!

@emer8nica Hi my daughter is a competitive gymnast in massachusetts training at a very good gym for the area maybe not as intense as this gym, but anyways my husband might be relocating to Texas in the same area as Texas dreams and woga we were wondering how Texas dreams was or if you tried woga and whether or not you liked that. My daughter is 12 she is currently injured but this is her first year doing level 9 and pre-elite. we would really appreciate your response thanks!

[gymmegann]

this conditioning is awesome and very creative !!!

[flipnfly55]

wow thats really creative.. makes conditioning at least a little better! haha we kinda did the same thing.. our gym is close to a 7 11 so in the summer we run there outside and run up the hills and do lunges down and stuff like that.. haha so yeah! then we got like water and slushies from there then ran back(:

[1997gymnastic]

omg thats epic, i reeeeaallllyyy want to do that w/ my gym!

[shanshanrere]

@hcmmor how about you calm down. I'm a gymnast I just simply explain why most gymnast don't like or have a hard time switching gyms.

[flipflopgymnast12]

hahaha looks fun but tireing too! :))

[1797rachel]

omg i LOVE this gym!!! :)

[volleyballgurly15]

thats so cool that they get to switch it up everyonce in awhile & do something alittle bit fun! & they still get a good workout! Cuddo's to Kim for this! I think its a great idea!

[sunraysgym8]

who was the girl at 0:08 in the black shorts? She seems really young!

[eefawesome]

wow cool but doesnt the thing at 0:26 hurt their backs??

[Gymlover1984]

not such a good video for me... now I never have an excuse again saying I can't do a workout cause I don't have the correct infrastructure... ;-)

[bernardmvella]

I know all the gymnasts have been training for the majority of their lives, but on the off chance something happens that can't be prevented by how much skill you have, and in wet environments like pools, those handstands are dangerous. Maybe where I'm from (New Zealand) it's just 'cause it's not really allowed. Apart from that she is a fabulous gymnast.

[XxSportyMusicGirlxX]

:O woah kim zmeskal..

[ACSsmile]

y is there nobody else there??

[ACSsmile]

thts rly samrt

[iheartgymnastix]

Wow, now that looks fun! I would love doing that! I enjoy conditioning.

[ljsflash11]

[potassiumiodideki]

This looks like a fun way to spice up conditioning.

[Gymnast101494]

Looks like fun conditioning! if only i was that strong!!

[katieisfierce]

looks fun...but she's great!

[jenniffir]

Where is this gym? theres a Texas dreams were i live and i was wondering if they were the same gym.

[lexi11221]

@gymnasticsblastomg her name is veronica but nica is her nickname

[gymnasticsblastomg]

is her name nica or veronica??

[silverchicken496]

wow, that's hard and painful condition, but that's a really creative way to do it!

[shocktop45]

How many chin-ups can they do?? Its insane what kind of conditioning it takes to be a gymnast.

[BIGgymnast10]

Very good! I love your beam routine! its beautiful good luck at your new gym! Your going to be amazing! pray for my level 8 please and watch my videos to please!

[AGAgymnast]

why did she switch gyms? wasnt she at all olympia? btw shes amazing

[emer8nica]

@AGAgymnast She was at All Olympia but we had to move when my husband accepted a position with another company.

[yecatsb]

Very fun and unique conditioning! Kim and Chris know how to mix things up and keep the girls having fun. I'm sure her training will be lots of fun :)

[irvingnochez]

HI Im from El Salvador, Im, National Coach, All you videos are very good, and help us a lot, thanks. Do you have more of codition videos??

Congratulation for Nica too, we saw all the videos of She.

Bye.

[emer8nica]

@irvingnochez I'm glad you like the videos. This is the only conditioning video I have and I had to ask permission from the coach to post it. Hopefully, our coach will allow me to post more in the future. Take care!

[transamdepot]

i didnt see Nica in this video. was she in it??

[mindyschocolate]

@transamdepot 1:03 she's in the line of girls facing the camera. Look for the red shorts. 1:08 she's on the back horsey thing doing the press to handstand. At the end of the video you can see her step down during their handstand holds by the pool edge.

[transamdepot]

@mindyschocolate thanks:)

[emer8nica]

@mindyschocolate thanks for pointing her out:)

[gymnastparexcellence]

WOW!!! so cool!!!

[lisapizza16]

lol at least they get to do workout outside the gym

[lilmisslollyboo]

Looks like a fun variation on normal conditioing!! Glad to see Nica is fitting into and enjoying her new gym :)

[focuspilatesgymnast]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!! Thanks for sharing Emer...miss that smile Nice (((HUGS)))!

[emer8nica]

@focuspilatesgymnast Good luck to Maya this season! Miss you all!

[RobDiVo]

I wish that cheerleading athletes would condition as much as these girls and make it look just as fun!!!

[Gymnasticslover3oh3]

Does Allison Cary still happen to train at Texas Dreams?

[emer8nica]

@Gymnasticslover3oh3 I don't think so. That name doesn't ring a bell.

[USAgymnast52]

this is awesome!!! changing up the conditioning so its not the same thing everyday! i wish my gym did this!

[gymnastlvl5]

Wow! That looks tough! how often do they do pool conditioning? how many hours/days does Nica practice?

[emer8nica]

@gymnastlvl5 They did pool conditioning twice over the summer. Nica trains a little over 30 hours a week.

[Chilina13]

Great video!

[SlushieLuvr]

Can you just join the Dream Team or do you have to be specially picked? And finally, another Nica Hults video!!!

[afgymnast96]

@SlushieLuvr you have to be an elite gymnast i think to join the team

[emer8nica]

@SlushieLuvr You do a tryout and the coaches decide what group you will train with. You don't have to be an elite to join the Dream Team. Nica is only Level 9, and there are a lot of younger girls in the Dream Team.

[csurvivor7]

I love it! Just using whats around!!

Very creative

And I'm sure it's a good change of pace for the girls!!

[greysrocks25]

awesome montage. will show it to my girls (who are nowhere near that good, by the way) so they understand that gymnastics is an every day attitude. kudos on chris and kim for finding fun ways to work out :)

[emer8nica]

@greysrocks25 nica says hello to your girls. yes, chris and kim are known to create a fun atmosphere without sacrificing hard work. chris always teaches them the winning attitude.

[Gymfan1231]

What a fun way to do conditioning.

[mincrdc]

Love the creativity of their conditionng. I can imagine with the Texas heat a pool is vital! Thanks so much for sharing!!!

[mindyschocolate]

Yaaaaay!!!! I love updates!!! I couldn't find Nica at first, until they were doing their handstands on the poolside, lol. That was the most unique way I've ever seen a gym conduct conditioning! That's awesome! :oD I'm sooooo looking forward to seeing her next competition!

[mykidgymnast]

very inventive way of conditioning! LoVe it! I'm so glad that the move was a success for Nica and things were a smooth transition for her. It can be scary moving and worrying about finding a gym/school/housing is a huge stressor. I'm glad that it all worked out great and Nica is thriving and having a great time with her new gym and team :) Can't wait to see more of her in the future - GO NICA!

[emer8nica]

@mykidgymnast thank you so much! the move went smoothly and nica is loving her new home. we really appreciate your support:)

[adadancer7]

Huge Team!!! But love it!!! Can't wait to see her perform her routines!!!! What level is she competeing this year? 10? Can't wait!!!

[emer8nica]

@adadancer7 Thanks, Kasie! I'm not sure what level she'll be competing. She's learning some elite compulsary routines, but I think she'll be doing Level 10. It dependds how her training goes this Fall. No rush, Nica prefers to do Level 10 but we'll follow whatever her coaches tells her to do.

[mindyschocolate]

@emer8nica I'm glad you guys aren't rushing for level 10. I know things really pick up at the elite level (she does seem destined for it!), and lately I've been watching documentaries of some girls who made junior elite, but then got burned out before making senior. I don't know what Nica's goals are, but I hope the coaches don't push her to the point it's not fun anymore. I heard it's a good gym, so I know I'm worrying over nothing. She's an amazing gymnast, and I absolutely love watching her!

[emer8nica]

@mindyschocolate Thanks! We keep an eye out for sure. Chris and Kim are great and we trust their decision. So we'll see. I try not to worry:)

[adadancer7]

@emer8nica That is fun!!!! I cant wait to see her competing this year!!!!

[Dancer0526]

woww that looks like alot of hard work but i like how they made it fun and interesting!! :)

[gymnast5565]

very creative way of conditioning



[aldenhearts]

why did you guys move to texas and the new team is it all for her to be successful in the sport?

[emer8nica]

@aldenhearts Great question! We moved due to my husband's job, Texas' low cost of living, no state income tax, dramatically lower real estate prices, great public school system and Texas isn't broke unlike CA. We were happy with Nica's progress at AOGC. We were initially worried about the transition and how it would impact Nica, but the move has turned out to be a complete blessing. Nica is very excited and happy to be a part of Texas Dreams' Dream Team!!! Coach Kim and Chris Burdette are GREAT!

[hcmmor]

@emer8nica didi she look into any other gyms? Woga?

[emer8nica]

@hcmmor Yes and yes :) But Texas Dreams is Nica's choice.

[hcmmor]

@emer8nica oh cool :) is kim nice?

[emer8nica]

@hcmmor Kim is VERY nice! She's a tough coach as any good coach should be but she's never abusive. If you notice this video and the last one I just posted, the girls are always smiling but still working hard.

[shanshanrere]

@hcmmor If she's already suceeding with the gym she's with now, why switch into unfamiliar gym where it would be like starting from scratch such as creating a relationship with her coach? And also like getting use to their way of trainning. It's a huge change on the gymnast herself.

[hcmmor]

@shanshanrere You dont even know what your talking about . She moved to Texas over a year ago and needed to find a new gym. I asked if she looked into Woga. So clam down
