GYMNASTICS

hi this page is going to be all about gymnastics. gymnastics is my hobby as well as acro.and that is how i got my name because the most favourite thing i like to do at gymnastics is flipping. i do it 15hrs a week. i do women’s artistic gymnastics.

there are 7 types of gymnastics

WAG(Womens artistic gymnastics)

this ony done by women there are 4 apparatuses

beam is where you stand on a 10cm wide thing that is about 2m long and usually 150cm off the ground

bars is where the is 2 parallel wooden ploes you jump swing and do tricks

vault is where you run at an object and jump on the board to do tricks

floor is whenyou dance and do tricks on a sprung floor with music

rhythmic gymnastics is very different because you don’t do flips and cartwheels you have to be very flexible. there are 6 apparatuses they are freehand, ball, ribbon, clubs, hoop and rope. only women do this sport

the others are mens artistic gymnastics, cheerleading, aerobics, general gymnastics and trampolining.
