Always keep your legs stiff and concentrate straight ahead of you. If you are about to fall off the beam crouch lightly, if you are still falling, jump off so that you won't get hurt by falling

What is the diet for a gymnast?
My friend is a gymnast and she eats like 5 choclate bars every day! Which cant be healthy! A healthy diet for a gymnast should consist of healthy foods like grains meats fruits and vectables. If you are about to eat a snack think about your great great grandmother. Would she know what it is you are eating? If not than it is probably not healthy.
