Right, so one week left in my A-level DT project... practical is still a fair way off but its do-able if i spend every second of every day on it! sadly i also have sheet work to catch up on and my teacher has suddenly decided he wants a range of exercises to complete on each bit of equipment... so thats my problem, im cool with my wobble board but a mushroom and low parallel bars im not so good with, i have to draw piccies too... anyone realy good at describing or know any websites where i can also get pictures of exercises on these pieces of equipment?

The British Gymnastics coaching resource packs include pictures of conditioning exercises and basic elements on p bars and mushrooms - a particularly good one is the Men's Artistic Assistant Gymnastics Coach Resource Pack but the Club Coach Common Core and Home Study Resource Pack also has a few sketches. These are available from BGA but you might be able to borrow one from a coach at your club.

There are pictures of 1/2 lever, tuck top planche, press to handstand and the Men's artistic book includes pictures of boys doing mushroom circles.

Exercises on mushroom - walk round facing the same direction all the time (pretend to hold a glass of water and pass it from hand to hand as you walk round). Hold front support, back support and left and right side support postitions. Jump round a 1/4 circle, then a 1/2 circle, then 3/4 before trying a full circle. Feet on the mushroom, hands on the floor - hold front support position, back support position and left and right side support positions. That's all I can think of - though we also use the mushrooms for playing leap frog!
