Gymnastics Active Wear: My Favorites for Running, Jumping, Tumbling, and Play

My husband and I recently enrolled our son Mario in gymnastics class. We believe it’s important for him to learn how to use his entire body while channeling his energy in an environment that fosters running, jumping, tumbling, and play.

I love watching Mario attempt somersaults and bounce on the trampoline, and I can’t help but admire the little girls in their adorable leotards, dance skirts, and leggings. They look so cute in their gymnastics activewear—and of course, so does Mario! Seeing all the little ones in their fun outfits inspired me to search for cute activewear for Mario (and for your little one) to wear for gymnastics, ballet, dance, or simply playing around.

Make sure your little one runs, twirls, jumps, tumbles, and plays today!

For your little girl, I love a leotard worn with leggings and of course legwarmers. And don't forget a zip hoodie for layering, a gym sack for her stuff, hair bands to pull her hair back, a water bottle for hydration, and a pair of ballet slippers for coming and going to class.
