Question: You have AWESOME abs, they're soo defined. You should show us more pics of them, they're awesome. Keep up whatever you do and give us some specific directions so we can at least try to get awesome abs like you
Answer: Thanks! I guess you will have to wait until summer for more pictures of my abs! Bathing suit season! I don't do anything besides our normal conditioning at the gym for my abs. I have always had a naturally strong stomach!

Question: Do you answer all of your questions personally?
Answer: I ALWAYS answer all of my questions personally. I also ALWAYS write my own journal entries!

Question: Hi Allison! What is your daily schedule? When do you go to school and the gym, etc. Do people at school bug you at all to do gymnastics? Also, can you drive yet? If not when and will you have a car? Thanks a lot!
Answer: My schedule goes like this...wake up around 6:30 and get ready for morning workout. Then I leave around 7:20 to go up to the gym. Workout is from 8-12. Then, I drive just down the street where I go to Spring Creek Academy from 12:30 to 3. Then, I head back to the gym and do some homework before night practice. At night I workout from 5-8. After practice I drive home, finish up any homework, chat online, watch TV and then go to sleep! People at school never bug me to do stuff because over half of our school are gymnasts too! I do drive myself, and I have a goldish Jeep Grand Cherokee. I LOVE it!

Question: Do you ever have problems making up school work? How tall are you?
Answer: Not really because I go to a school where they are very accommodating to our schedules. If I know I am going to be gone for an extended amount of time I will get my work ahead and take it with me. I think I am around 5'1" or 5'2"...I'm not totally sure though!

Question: HEY! I'm 15 yrs old (level 9/10) and I i might start @ WOGA in the fall. (What's it like?, I'm kinda nervous.)

Question: How long did it take for you to become an elite gymnast?

Question: I am trying to learn my giants, but I just haven't gotten there yet. Do you have any advice?
Answer: Just try and have a good "tap" at the bottom and try to hollow over the top. That's about all I know to tell you because I am definitely not a coach! So, just listen and try to make their corrections. Good luck!

Question: Do you have a favorite WOGA leotard? And do the gymnasts have to pay for them or are they given them, and so when lower levels wear older leos, did they have to buy them from older gymnasts or are they actually news leotards of older designs? Thanks! The purple/white from 01/02 is my favorite.
Answer: I have a few favorites. I like our purple with white down the sleeves ('03-'04), the blue metallic with white in the sleeves ('03-'04), and the red one with the jewels all over the front (also '03-'04). The elites are given their leotards by GK since they are one of our main sponsors. The lower levels usually buy new leotards.

Question: Hey Allison! I am only in level 5 and vaulting a handspring, but I always bend my arms and can't get any pop. No matter what I do, as soon as my hands land on the vault I bend my arms. Do you have any advice?
Answer: I'm not a coach but you may want to try to get your arms stronger. This may help you in not bending your arms. Don't rely on me though! Haha! Good luck!
