Gymnastics includes a series of moves such as the back-handspring, front-handspring, back-walkover, front walk-over, cartwheel, one-handed cartwheel, round-off, back-tuck, front-tuck, forward roll, backward roll, hand-stand and aerial. These are some of the tumbling moves Bars: Front hip circle, back hip circle, release, that little turn around while you're upside down thingy (sorry I don't know what it's called), handstand on the bar, and some others I don't know. Vault: Straddle jump, hand-stand, and all kinds of tumbling that they do over the pommel horse. Balance Beam: Back and front walk-overs, back-handspring, front handspring, rotations, front and back tucks, hand-stands, rolls, cart wheels, and others I am unaware of. My favorite is Tumbling. I do gymnastics myself, so I have a lot of experience. I am going today at 3:00 to sign up at the YMCA. It's been a while since I've been in a class. I've been taking a break. Wish me luck!
