Gymnastics

Number 136 sticks the landing for her double front on floor! If you thought that was thrilling, I'll tell you about how gymnastics can be both fun and challenging.

Gymnastics is a fun sport. I think that because you get to move from station to station. For example you can go to beam, bars, vault, floor and trampoline station. You also get to go to competitions where the pressure is on! It's also fun to dance to the music while doing your routine.

Another reason gymnastics can be fun but challenging is you have the opportunity to meet new people. I think this is true because many people join each month and that means you can meet more friends. Another reason gymnastics is fun is you work with people on your team and see there different personalities. Finally, you get to see people at meets and competitions. When you go to these meets you can see the others routines so it helps you know what the judges are looking for in advance.

Lastly, gymnastics is a really good form of exercise. This sport works all your muscles head to toe. You do about 20-30 minutes of stretching and strength training so you are for practices or meets. Plus, you are moving around so it keeps you active. My coaches always tell our team " what doesn't kill us makes us stronger".

Gymnastics is a sport you should try or at least go watch a meet. As you can see, gymnastics can be both fun and challenging. Well, I've got to go! It's time for me to get my ribbons!
