Sport of the Month: Gymnastics

Gymnastics is really good fun and it's something that everyone can take part in, from young children to those of us that are old enough to worry about if they can still do a forward roll!

Gymnastics is skillful and contains many disciplines from floor work to bars so there's bound to be something that you can do and hopefully lots more that you could master after a bit of training.

If you'd like to take part in gymnastics  then there are lots of clubs that you can join and they all welcome beginners, click HERE for a full list of clubs and venues in Norfolk that coach Gymnastics.

Artistic Gymnastics is another form of Gymnastics and involves exercises on uneven bars, balance beam, floor exercise, and vault (for women), and high bar, parallel bars, still rings, floor exercise, vault, and pommel horse (for men).

It evolved from exercises used by the ancient Greeks, including skills for mounting and dismounting a horse, and circus performance skills.

Other forms of gymnastics are rhythmic gymnastics, various trampolining sports and aerobic and acrobatic gymnastics.
