Gymnastics

The floor routine goes, hop hop, straight jump, split jump, handstand forward roll, side chase, handstand to bridge kick-over, three step run into a leap, split, two prance steps, weight transfer, stright arm backward roll (in a pike), step, step, half turn, and round off back hand spring. There is also dance elements in the routine.

It is an indoor sport.

It is a very helpful sport. It makes you flexible. Increases your reflexes. Increases balance. Make friends. Learn discipline. More agil, strength, abs get stronger, Gives you something to do. Gives you excitement and a feeling of sensation. Learn new things. Stronger grip. Lose weight become healthy. All these are great reasons to do gymnastics why do you think I am.

This depends greatly on age / height / race and the type of gymnast. For example at our local gymnastics centre there is an Asian lady that does 'the floor' and is very petite and weighs 40 kilo's. Another lady that does the floor is Caucasian and weighs 52 kilos. a gentleman that does the horse weighs 89 kilo's. So as you can see there is a great variance. For a more specific answer you need a more specific question.

I was a gymnast myself. I did it for 5 years then my mom stopped bringing me to classes. Anyway, Just one day go up to them and say mom/dad I'm really interested in doing gymnastics. do you think you could sign me up? if they say no don't freak out! (also ask about gymnastics when they r in a good mood) If they say no just do chores, bring up your grades, and don't whine.

then ask again about 3 weeks-1 month later and see if they change their mind. If they don't research gymnastics, look at leotards, ask yourself if you want to compete, and look for any gyms near you! (BTW this will show your very interested!!)

When taking gymnastics when I was a kid, the worse feeling was putting on spandex. But now there are more options. Yoga capri pants. They move with you, no worries about length tripping you, and you can easily throw on a favorite t-shirt. If worried about doing handstands and other stomach possibly showing activities, long tank tops under the shirt. Tuck into pant and you're good. Also remember, if you're out there having fun that's the biggest part. You're doing things not everyone else can. Be proud!

Gym, which is short for gymnasium.

in the Olympics 1 minute. but in just plain old meets at least 1 minute and 30 sec

Well my friend told me that it is fun and you won't be stuck with the little kids because in my gym when you sign up you have to pick an age and a level. remember on your first day wear shorts and a shirt. I'm so scared because i starting tomorrow!

It depends how advanced the gym pupils want to become. The better the equipment the easier it is to progress, but here are a few things that are useful for gymnastics:

Beam (not needed for boys)

Vault

Bars (asymetric for girls, parallel for boys)

Sprung floor

Pommel horse (boys only)

Rings (boys only)

Foam pit (useful for practicing trickier skills so you can have a soft landing)

Chalk and handguards so you prevent blisters and rips when on bars

Trampets can be useful

Mats of course for safety! Very important!

Weights etc. for conditioning

first you lean backwards, and swing your arms back.

then you bend backwards and try and touch the floor, and flipping your legs over. do this slowly at first. once you can master the easy process, you can do it really fast. easy strategies- 1. lean back

2. bend your legs

3. push backwards

There is not a specific age group but since most gymnasts start out when they are young, I would say that level 4 gymnasts are 5-8 years old. Hope this helps:)

At my gym most of the level 4 gymnasts are probably like fifth grade.

* make sure you can do both skills individually before you progress to the full round off flip * Keep you body tight throughout the tumble * In the round off come into it with you hand straight (as in a handstand) and turn them 90 degrees just before they reach the ground * Keep you arms tight at all times particularly when they are supporting you weight * push off the floor with you hands in the round off and bring your chest up quickly * lean back (almost sit on a imaginary chair) into you flip, dont go straight up * again push off the floor with you hands and bring your chest up quickly * When you are doing well I suggest you do a round off rebound (which is when you staight jump after the flip) * if you are doing round off flip rebound make sure you land in a "motorbike" landing and dont step * Stand up straight and present nicely

Stretch every day, you can not do the splits if you are not flexible enough. So, as i said just stretch and don't be impatient.

The rules of gymnastics are different depending on several factors. There are different countries, leagues, levels, etc. For instance, in the US, one of the most prominent leagues is USAG (USA Gymnastics). In USAG, there are different programs. The most popular one is probably J.O., short for Junior Olympic. The JO women's artistic gymnastics score out of a "10". Then there ar elite gymnasts. These are the gymnasts who have a shot at going to the Olympics. They no longer score out of a "perfect 10" because in recent years, it has been a major concern in the gymnastics world, that some gymnasts would do much harder routines than others, and score lower because of execution. Today, elite gymnasts (and olympians) are scored by execution (which is still out of a "10"), and difficulty (which is determined by what skills one does).

All in all, different programs, leagues, genders, and other varying factors can influence rules. It's the same as any other sport.

It can be both - sometimes you are competing for you team or for yourself, but if you mean if you swim as a team, then no. You can swim FOR a team, but not as a team. So it is individual if you mean it that way.

arms up and jump and while you jump, tuck at the same time
