Gymnastics

My other PED activity class that I am taking is Gymnastics. I love this class. I never thought I was going to be able to do the things we learned. We learned how to do Handstands, Front Handsprings and Headstand. I never thought in a million years I would be able to do those things. We also learned how to do cartwheels and roundoffs. Those I were able to do at the beginning of the class. We also learn how to different rolls. Like a front and back roll. Once we learned how to do those we learn how to actually do the gymnastics part. We learned how to do everything we learn on the floor off the different equipment pieces. We learned how to do the parallel bars, pommel horse, the vault, balance beam, rings, and how to climb a rope. Throughtout the semester we learned a routine on every piece of equipment and at the end of the semester we had to perform them.
Its the end of the semester now and thats what we have been doing for the last two weeks. He put us into teams. Each person on the team has to perform two of the routines that they are good at. Then him and two other people are the judges amd gives us out total point at the end of the routine. Each team get a total and who ever has the best score wins. My team is very good. I am doing the Balance Beam routine and the Vaulting routine with is a front handspring over the vault! Tomorrow is went we have our "meet." I can't wait!
