Gymnasts

I am pretty good at gymnastics, because I am in level 5 with teenagers - pre teenagers, I mean. They are around 12 years old. I am the youngest one.

I practice four times a week - three times at the gym, each for three hours and once at my home for two hours. At home, S, A and I have a private lesson with some easier skills and round offs are shorter. At the gym we do skills like: (floor) 1. front handspring, step out front handspring. (bar) 2. kips (need help). (beam) 3. kartwheels on high beam. (do not need help. 4. Back-walk-overs on low beam (need help). (vault) 5. Handspring (need help).

I like to do gymnastics partly because you get to be with your friends and get a strong mind. I know gymnastics is dangerous, but you just have to be careful. Bar is my favorite event. My least favorite is beam, although sometimes it is pretty exciting.
