![]() Our camera crews consist of cell phones taped to floor lamps or on top of shoebox lids stacked up on a step ladder. ![]() If our gymnasts could glimpse behind the scenes, they would be entertained to know what has gone into the creation of the videos. Which means we will have accomplished what we set out to do. Fast forward again through the creation of yet another demo class and…Yes! It’s good! We’ve got this – we’ll soon be Insta-famous, YouTube Sensations, and Hollywood will be knocking on our door! Well, maybe not, but we’ve created something that will give our virtual students an opportunity to participate in gymnastics while at home. They are fun and help keep the kids interested, just as they do in class. Let’s use props that one would find in their home. Let’s focus on strength and really break down some of the skills our students work on at the gym, without using the equipment. We have the knowledge but how do we best share it without being in the gym?īack to the drawing board to create a more detailed, ongoing lesson plan to guide our thought process. Let’s fast-forward through about 10 hours of work, basic iMovie lessons, the necessary and overdue computer updates, and say that our first attempt was not going to be what we offer to our gymnasts. A couple of hours were spent on the phone discussing how to make this happen, then off we went to make a demo class to see if our words could be put into action. When the Illinois Stay at Home order was extended, we wanted to offer our students quality gymnastics lessons and a way to stay connected with us. Creating our Virtual Classes has become my new normal and within a week, I was able to find a routine for the work I need to do. ![]() Viking Art FairĪs we are starting our second month of Viking’s Virtual Gymnastics classes, I was asked to reflect back on what seems to be both a very long and short experience.

Put your legs out straight (keeping them off the ground) for a bigger challenge! This exercise is good for building the endurance of your core muscles for skills like a glide swing, and kip on bars. Hold this position for 30 seconds, three times. Laying down, arms by your side, and knees bent, press your lower back to the ground and engage core muscles to lift shoulders and feet off ground. This works the shoulder muscles that help you stay on the balance beam on jumps and leaps. Keep your chin and legs on the ground and use the back of your shoulder muscles to lift your arms off the ground and hold for 30 seconds, three times. Lay on your belly with your arms out to the side (in a “T” shape). This exercise strengthens your biceps and triceps in your arms to help you with skills like the front handspring vault. Lower your chest and hips to the floor, by your elbows bending at a 45° angle, and then push up to the original starting position. Keep a straight line from your shoulders to your knees throughout the movement. This exercise strengthens your shoulder and back muscles to help you with skills like the tap swing on bars.Ĭreate a pushup position with your knees on the floor and feet up in the air. With your feet together, lift your feet, arms, and chin off the ground while squeezing all the muscles in the back of your body. Lay on your belly with your arms by your ears.

This exercise strengthens your hamstrings, glute muscles, and core muscles to help you stick your landings on skills like a side handstand beam dismount. Laying on your back, knees bent with feet on the floor, and arms by your side, press your lower back into the ground and lift your hips up to create a straight line from your knees to your shoulders. This exercise will help strengthen your quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes to help you jump into skills like a back handspring. ![]() Keep your chest up and knees in line with toes. Start by bending slightly at your hips, then bend your knees to lightly touch the chair and then stand up again. Stand with a chair slightly behind your feet.

![]() The latest models feature Ceramic Shield, a material created with Corning that fuses ceramic into the front glass of the phones. One reason is that iPhones dating back to the iPhone 8 are sheathed in glass on the back and front, making them vulnerable to damage in a fall. When we’re talking about hundreds of dollars to replace a screen, it’s worth asking why all these repairs are so expensive. Most people are better off leaving the repairs to professionals. And if you’re not afraid of taking apart your expensive phone, Apple now offers a self-service repair option that gives you access to genuine Apple parts, the repair manual, and rental tools, but the process is. You might be able to get cheaper battery or screen replacements, for instance, at an independent shop. And you can’t collect on a theft or loss claim if you don’t have Find My iPhone activated at the time your device disappears.Īlso, the repair costs we’re citing here are for work done by Apple. The plans don’t cover damage caused by “reckless, abusive, willful, or intentional conduct.” So if you were planning to test out your new phone’s toughness by running it over with a car, don’t. These prices are much less than the $149 fee for AppleCare+, so if your main concern is the battery wearing out, it’s cheaper to just have the battery replaced without the plan.ĪppleCare+ has some restrictions. For the iPhone 15 and iPhone 14 models, that cost without AppleCare+ is $99 for the iPhone 13, 12, and 11 it costs $89. In CR’s annual smartphone survey, members reported that the most common reason they had their iPhones repaired was to replace the battery. ![]() If you don’t have the protection plan and need that repair, you’ll be paying $279. Add the $149 fee for AppleCare+ and your total cost will be $178. If you get AppleCare+ for an iPhone 13 and then crack the screen, you’ll have to pay $29 as your deductible. That’s a substantial amount to save when you’re talking about a $1,000 phone.īut the savings aren’t as great in other circumstances. Your replacement costs are going to total $418 (a $149 deductible plus the $269 you paid for the AppleCare+ plan). Let’s say you lose your iPhone 15 Pro and have theft and loss coverage. Whether those prices are worth it depends on what kind of phone you have and how much risk you’re comfortable with. AppleCare+ with theft and loss protection: $149 (for two-year coverage) or $7.49 per month.Standard AppleCare+: $79 (for two-year coverage) or $3.99 per month.AppleCare+ with theft and loss protection: $219 (for two-year coverage) or $11.49 per month.Standard AppleCare+: a one-time fee of $149 (for two-year coverage) or $7.99 per month.AppleCare+ with theft and loss protection: $249 (for two-year coverage) or $12.49 per month.Standard AppleCare+: a one-time fee of $179 (for two-year coverage) or $8.99 per month.AppleCare+ with theft and loss protection: $269 (for two-year coverage) or $13.49 per month.Standard AppleCare+: a one-time fee of $199 (for two-year coverage) or $9.99 per month.You can buy an AppleCare+ plan for an iPhone 15 as well as models like the iPhone 13 that have been in the lineup for a few years. Here’s a deeper look at how much AppleCare+ plans cost and what they cover. So is it worth it? Given the significant increases in repair pricing for iPhones in recent years, AppleCare+ might let you rest easier, especially if you (or others in your family) are prone to dropping phones.īut that doesn’t make AppleCare+ a wise investment for everyone. And as part of the deal, you also get priority 24/7 tech support, and you can get loss and theft protection for an additional fee. For the screen and back glass, the fee is $58. The screen replacement deductible will run you just $29. ![]() And if you need the 15 Pro Max’s rear camera fixed, that’ll cost about $249.īut if you shell out $199 for an AppleCare+ plan, these problems are a lot cheaper to deal with. A new screen and back glass? That will set you back about $499. Have a cracked screen on your 15 Pro Max? Your friendly neighborhood Apple Store will replace it for $379, which is $50 more than it costs to repair the screen on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. So it should come as no surprise that they’re also costly to fix. With starting prices of $999 and $1,199, Apple’s new iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max aren’t cheap.

In contrast to his usual goofball screen persona, he's more of an actor and less of a celebrity, seemingly happy flying under the radar and rarely seen at events or even captured by paparazzi going about his daily business. There are plenty of actors who find themselves part-time performers for whatever reason, but for the most part, they still play the Hollywood game, hitting the red carpet for film premieres and big events and relentlessly promoting themselves or their affiliated products on social media.

The Romans adopted it, but the Catholics were the first to call it Mother’s Day in honor of the Virgin Mary. It’s said that this festival’s origin is from the tribute that was made to the mother of Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon in Greek mythology, Rea.
