Hey there GB community. I'm new to the forums (and gymnastics), so please excuse my lack of knowledge and possible subforum-misplacement of my questions. I'm interested in how long the Foundation series, as a whole, is estimated to take to complete. I understand that a) it takes a lot of time, patience, and hard work to build up to moves even so "fundamental" as the Planche and Front Lever and b) that each person will progress at a different pace. However, from what I understand, Foundation One takes about 1.5 years to complete from the very beginning to the very end. Assuming that the 7 fundamental GST moves are mastered around the end of F4, and assuming that the 4 Foundation courses take similar amounts of time, am I correct to guess that it will take upwards of 6 years to achieve a decent Front Lever? Like I said, I know it takes time to build the proper strength and coordination and mobility and such to achieve these fundamental GST moves, but I was under the impression that a fairly athletic person could build up to a Front Lever or Planche after about 2 years, maybe 3. Understandably, I imagine no one wants to divulge too many specifics about the program, but I would greatly appreciate if a knowledgeable gymnast could point out any misconceptions I may have. Thank you in advance for any help!

I am about to purchase the foundation series. I want to use it on an IPad and my iPhone but I have a windows based pc computer. I want to be able to store it on a flash drive to make sure I never lose it. Which do you experts recommend I purchase to accomplish all of this? I have iTunes on my pc. Thanks for your help.
