anyone else feeling overwhelmed by how cool the human body is and how much it can do??? I honestly sometimes think I feel more impressed watching the "boring" conditioning etc because my brain can conceive of how strong you have to be to do it vs the gymnastics which just looks like literal witchcraft
After the Olympics and/or whatever events Chellsie chooses to compete in......I really hope she considers creating a general fitness training and/or stretching video series for adults. Sure tons are out there....but there is something so charming and down-to-earth about her personality .....genuine, caring inspiration....that's so rare and resonates with so many outside gymnastics. I think I speak for many that there'd be many of us who sign up! Keep up the great work Chellsie.....we're all so proud of you!
🤣 that song stuck with me when I learned it in grade school. Learned the alphabet backwards when my my mom played educational cds in the van four my youngest sister....she never learned it 🤷♀️😂
Your hard work and commitment shines through in everything you do--even things like stretching and conditioning. You've done such excellent work laying a solid foundation for your skills. All the best Chellsie!
Just an editing comment, the background music was a little too loud when you’re speaking (noticed it mostly during the leg bands at the end). Otherwise, as ever, thank you for continuing to share your journey with the world, always a privilege!
Yes, I agree with the editing comment of keeping the background music lower and turning up Chellsie’s speaking voice. As much as I enjoyed the content, I found this music a bit too loud and distracting. Thank you kindly.
Fun fact: for anyone who would like to learn “the states song” so that you too can do them upside down in a handstand on the balance beam (or just a neat party trick, perfectly vertical) the song is “Fifty Nifty United States” and it’s by Ray Charles.
Thank you for reminding me and also showing how efficient and quick you can do a total body condition to help you be able to withstand a daily gymnastics workout safely without the constant worry of injury.
Why do I feel like Chellsie’s not showing us what she’s truly capable of at this point? A lot of the stuff she posts on her gymnastics days are skills she’s been consistently doing before she even announced her comeback (Instagram videos). For example, she was doing the Arabian layout onto the pit, the illusion to aerial cartwheel and some other stuff. She even did an aerial cartwheel+ Loso on the high beam and that was before her current physical state! Right now from the looks of it she’s not connecting the aerial to any skill based her posted beam routine so far. And then just a few weeks ago we found out she was training a Cheng in vault?!!! She’s so sneaky I love it! lol I don’t know what to expect from her come classics time. I feel like we’re gonna be surprised.
She’s leaving us in so much suspense! She seems in great spirits! She also seems to have great energy & positivity. I’m so hopeful for her comeback ... I can’t wait to see her compete! So looking forward to it!
she needs to build routines and focus on consistency, health, and execution. Pretty sure she will be connecting her arial into the popa but has not been doing since/due to her ankle (i asked her and she answered). a lot of gymnasts are capable of doing massive and insane skills but are not competition-ready or suitable for competition due to risk/reward, consistency, execution or health. sometimes when we see gymnasts training super hard skills, it is often to help with the other skills. for example, training the Arabian layout into the pit, helps with the piked version, but she might never compete the layout. or another example is the double double helps with the double full.
For the non-olympic caliber athletes out there - I do leg raises on a power tower, and it's a great workout if you go slow and controlled and raise your straight legs about halfway or a little higher. I can't raise my legs all the way like Chellsie does - probably lack of strength and flexibility. A power tower is only $100-200, and u can also do pull-up, dips, chin-ups. Start with bent legs at first. It is a nice break from crunches. Add ankle weights for more challenge.
My little daughters gym has been closed for over a year due to covid so at home she concentrates on her straddle press to handstand, 7 in a row is her best and chin ups/pull ups and leg lifts. Hopefully this has been enough to keep her ticking over until her gym opens again. Good to know its the kind of stuff you think is most important.
This is SO COOL! Great content! As a female who's been interested in gymnastics for 30 years, I'm now researching how to get into adult gymnastics at home with no equipment and no experience. Just whatever I can do with my body and trying to learn how to get into shape as a mom who's never done gym💕💕💕💖
PS - If you don't mind me saying....because you videos are fantastic and I look forward to them every week....I don't think the edited music playing while your talking is necessary. I know its trendy...and shows great video editing skills, but it often overpowers the conversation making it difficult to hear.....and we're captivated by what you're saying anyway :)
this made me realize its been a minute since I've had a daily training routine like this. time to pick some exercies and get a routine goin. good stuff!
I'm from the UK and have seen this girl compete from way back in 2003. Apart from the fact that her skill set is still amazing. It's her technique which will help her prevail at this point in her career. She is much more aware of the other areas young gymnasts just don't have. Her journey is more than just a comeback it's from deep within and with that comes danger, especially to the younger mind.
Ha!!! Saying the alphabet backwards! I love it! I learned how to do that in 3rd grade to earn a blow pop from my teacher. lol. I haven't forgotten it since!
Dang Chelsie, your back is 🔥 Haha thank you so much for this video, I've recently come back to gymnastics after quitting as a kid through an NAIGC club and this is going to be super helpful for me!
I keep looking once in a while for one of you to make a fitness app that is gymnastics conditioning centered. Gymnastics and that type of conditioning is the only strength training I didn’t get bored with and dread, so here’s a hint for making an app with routines ;) I would absolutely pay for it
this video inspired me to do my first real exercise in a really long time - I've been down and out due to chronic, debilitating migraines, which are made worse by basically anything, movement included. I've started feeling a lot better -- shout-out to the six injections to the back of the neck I've gotten in the past year -- and today, watching this video, was the first time I've done real exercise since my migraines got so bad. and I recently started testosterone (I'm trans and T is something I've chosen to do as part of that), so I've been told it's going to be a lot easier to gain muscle now so hopefully this becomes a habit that pays off!
@@ChellsieMemmel23 so far so good!! I've had four days in a row of being 99% pain free. but if you've just jinxed me, I'm going to laugh so hard hahaha
you should make a video on how to do gymnastics conditioning exercises at a regular commercial gym! i was a gymnast for 10 years and i’m a powerlifter now. while i’m strong, i have no stamina or cardiovascular ability anymore because i don’t condition at all! i really miss the things i used to do in gymnastics but i’m too scared to try things in a commercial gym bc people look at you funny! especially because i’ll be embarrassed because i’m not good at that stuff anymore.
Im super late on my Chellsie vids this week. i love levers, i try to have my team do these as a challenge to work towards. watching how quickly Chellsie is able to turnover while maintaining her shape made me think of roundoffs. I wonder if these would help increase the speed of the turnover in the roundoff on floor?
When I did gymnastics in the 80s, we used to do our conditioning at the end of practice. But, now I notice that many gymnasts do their conditioning at the beginning of practice (before doing their routines). That is interesting. Why do you think that is? In the 80s, I think the idea was that you were fresh and full of energy at the beginning of practice to warm-up and then do your routines well and practice new stunts. At the end of practice, we could put the rest of our energy into conditioning. We could push ourselves to do more during the conditioning. Then we were exhausted from all the exercises and could go home. Also, is that an old-style vault behind you when you were doing the block pushes? That is the type of vault we had in the 80s. We also called it The Horse.
@@rg1whiteywins598 Wow...that is so interesting. Thanks for commenting. The exercises have become more creative over the years. I remember my coaches adding new exercises that they must have created themselves or heard about somewhere else. Now they have those large rubberbands to exercise with, the block pushes, and many other things. Some examples of our exercises were leg lifts on bars, many press handstands in a row on floor with the coach guiding us, jack-knives (V sit-ups), lying on your stomach on the vault and lifting your body up with your hands behind your head, standing heel lifts, squat jumps while holding a round weight, handstand pushups against the wall, "dips" on the men's parallel bars to work your arms, and of course jogging.
I think changes in how sports are structured and trained for comes with developments in knowledge about how the human body works. We call this conditioning, but I think it's more properly understood as warming up, at least for an athlete at this level. She's warming up her body so her body is ready to do gymnastics, and the exercises also maintain her strength and abilities. So I guess it's more like conditioning and warm-up rather than just one or the other, at least based on how I understand the difference, which may be a flawed understanding. I'm certainly no expert lol
would there be any way for you to post the cardio circuits on twitter? i don't use Instagram any more but i really miss doing your circuits on tuesday.
Really enjoyed watching, but a little disappointed that you didn't take 5 minutes at the end to show us some of your progress on beam, bars, floor and vault - for those of us who have been following all along, we have seen your conditioning already. Still impressed, but love the gymnastics too.

y'all chellsie is fucking ripped and I love seeing her muscles flex as she's doing different movements. it's so iconic. we love a shredded queen

Yes I'd love a progressive gymnastics conditioning from beginners. I couldn't do many of these exercises but would love to learn.
That is a thought!
I can’t imagine being strong enough to do those leg lifts. I am in awe.
I'm honestly just impressed she A: named all the states and B: said the alphabet backwards....
I know! Can she add all the Canadian provinces and territories next?
I thought I was the only one who learned that state song as a child.
@@alexandrac591 ....is there a catchy song?
@@genmcclain there are a couple of them!
🤣 that song stuck with me when I learned it in grade school. Learned the alphabet backwards when my my mom played educational cds in the van four my youngest sister....she never learned it 🤷♀️😂
Your hard work and commitment shines through in everything you do--even things like stretching and conditioning. You've done such excellent work laying a solid foundation for your skills. All the best Chellsie!
Can you please do a muscle rolling tutorial?? I feel like you have a lot of knowledge on that, and would love to learn more!
I found myself singing the "50 Nifty United States" with you, Chellsie... and now I don't feel so weird for occasionally singing it to myself! 😏
We sang it in All-County Chorus and it’s surprising how handy it is to be able to sing all the states in alphabetical order!
Not weird at all!
Mentally & physically fierce! Thanks for taking us along🤸🏽♂️
Imma literally cry when chellsie competes again like I’m so excited to see her back in competition! I need someone to nail a Arabian 😂
This inspires me to work out!
Inspires me to work out harder.
same! I don't know if it will actually get me to work out, but I do feel inspired lololol
Can you do a video on your stretching routine? Also, are you naturally flexible, or is it something that you really had to work at?
We posted the general warm up with stretching a few months ago and I am naturally flexible
Strength, Flexibility, and Control! Dang girl!
that sigh before starting the rope climbs haha,, i felt that one
😂

The suspense is killing me! She seems in very good spirits! Cant wait to see what skills she competes in the classics!
@@julieglover3684 I think she's a lot better than she lets on. We will see. I think she's teasing her followers.
LOVE this! You’re so strong!
You’re so strong and inspiring ! 💖
You're a beast! That looks very difficult for most humans.
this made me realize its been a minute since I've had a daily training routine like this. time to pick some exercies and get a routine goin. good stuff!
i would love to see more of these type videos!!!!

Diet and nutrition routine please!!
Watching Chellsie condition like a gymnast while I eat a piece of cake :)
Ha!!! Saying the alphabet backwards! I love it! I learned how to do that in 3rd grade to earn a blow pop from my teacher. lol. I haven't forgotten it since!
Wow, that's all I can say is Wow!
Another wonderful video. Chelsie is amazing, I would be passed out on the mat after all that conditioning lol.
Dang Chelsie, your back is 🔥
Haha thank you so much for this video, I've recently come back to gymnastics after quitting as a kid through an NAIGC club and this is going to be super helpful for me!
And this video explains why her cast to handstands are not straddled! She is constantly perfecting them!
Thanks for sharing!

Happy Easter chellsie!
So impressive and inspiring 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So cool! Thanks for sharing this Chellsie.
I honestly can’t wait until the first competition!!!!

Chelsie's Deltoids are my goal.
When you compete, how much of this do you do or is your pre competition routine completely different?
This is usually a part of it, just maybe a few less numbers.
could you do a gym tour
We did! A couple months back
🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏
Savage🔥
I would literally die from leg lifts.
How much do the actual blocks weigh???
I’m not sure
Really enjoyed watching, but a little disappointed that you didn't take 5 minutes at the end to show us some of your progress on beam, bars, floor and vault - for those of us who have been following all along, we have seen your conditioning already. Still impressed, but love the gymnastics too.
Thanks Chelsea!
Omg 😲
Do you see more of lefties or righties in gymnastics?
A person may be right handed but be left dominant in gymnastics (i.e. doing round offs and twisting the other direction) and vise versa.
We have more righties currently
I want to learn can you help
If you could only do gymnastics as a leftie for one practice, would you be able to do it?
Nope
3 minute till 😆
is she going to compete ?
Why don't tou start doing Cross fit? I believe you have the right streghth, flexiblitu and body for that! 😉😉
Them arms tho.
