Gymnastics!

Gymnastics is the best way to combine the worlds of art and sports. Moving across the floor, a gymnast looks like an artist, a graceful ballerina. But when you see a gymnast twirling on bars, you can’t help but notice the strength and willpower the sport takes! Basically, gymnastics is awesome. Blog about it!

Definately!!!

I have never done that sport so I don’t know a lot about it. I watch it sometimes and it is really cool to watch. It looks really hard to me too. You must have to be flexible and that is not me lol.

GYMNASTICS

I am 8 years old and I’ve been doing gymnastics for a year. I train 3 days a week for about 3 hours a day! I am planning on going to nationals next year. It takes hard work, determination and lots of sweat and sometimes tears to get to the higher levels. I love gymnastics its so rewarding especially when you finally nail something you’ve been working on for months. I’ve been scared and injured but my body is very fit and the things I’ve learned have made me a stronger person. The sport is beautiful, graceful, powerful and something you must willing to work for. When I started I couldn’t even do a cartwheel… now I can do a round off 3 back handsprings and a back tuck!!! I think everyone should try it, and if you can’t do it the first time don’t give up do it over and over and you’ll get it!

GYMNASTICS <3

I’m on level 8 for gymnastics and I’m 12 years old…its so much fun but it takes a lot of hard work and determination. We train 5 days a week for 3 hours and its not fun practice like it was in kindergarten. We do crunch time and we have to do the same routine over and over again but its all worth it because gymnastics is my all time favorite sport thats fun and keeps me active!!! I <3 GYMNASTICS!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D ~GB
