Aerobic Gymnastics

Aerobic gymnastics is a minute to a minute and a half routine which involves the performance of routines by individuals, pairs, trios or groups up to 6 people, showing strength, flexibility, and aerobic fitness.

I had a basic idea of aerobic gymnastics but once I watched a video of what it actually was I was quite amazed. Have a look at the following video and give me some feed backs.

Trampoline and Tumbling

Trampoline and tumbling consists of four events: individual, synchronized, double mini and power tumbling.

In individual routines they are required to jump to achieve the height they need to perform a sequence of aerial skills.

Synchronized trampoline is done with a partner. In this type of routine they are marked on their synchronized routine done together, as well as their form and the difficulty of their moves.

Double mini trampoline is a smaller trampoline with a run-up were two moves are to be performed then two more for the final round.

In power tumbling, athletes perform a repetitive amount of series of flips and twists down a tumbling track.

All of these events have a similiar scoring point system. Most of them are out of 10 point score.

Rhythmic Gymnastics

Rhythmic gymnastics is only done by by women. This sport involves five apparatus like ball, ribbon, hoop, clubs and rope which is done on the floor with music. During this routine you have to show a certain amount or leaps, balances, pivots, flexibility, apparatus handling, and artistic effects. These routines are usually scored out of 20 points. It is a beautiful sport but I rather my type of gymnastics which is artistic gymnastics.

Advice for Sara.

Dear Sara,
Alot of people are gonna tell you to stay true to yourself, be honest, take life seriously, etc. I know those are all very important too, but right now you are still very young so I suggest you just play, and grow. Those are key to life at your age.
