Gymnastics/Cheerleading..............My favorite hobby!

 My favorite hobby is gymnastics! Gymnastics is something i live to do. It is also a great excersize, it is great for building arm and leg muscles. It is something i love to do on my free time.

  Gymnastics is a dangerous sport. In the past, i have pulled my hamstring in my leg, i have twisted my wrist, thrown out my back, and sprained my ankle. Also, i have landed on my head, butt and back many times. Those are just the perks of basically throwing at the ground. Fortunatly, i have never seriously injured myself doing gymnastics, but it is still very dangerous and i ALWAYS stretch before doing anything.

   I got started doing gymnastics because i took gymnastics class. I was the most skilled five year old in the class. After I took the gymnastics class, i got started in cheerleading. Cheerleading was very fun for me and i found that i was very good at it. After a year in cheerleading, i was voted to be the cheerleading captin. That was something that i realy enjoyed. In cheerleading, i learned more advanced moves like front and back walkovers, one handed round-off, and perfected my front splits and back-bend.

   Even though i do not take gymnastics classes anymore, i am teaching my little cousin how to do some tricks and she is on her way to becomming a cheerleader! For me, Gymnastics and cheerleading are by far my favorite hobbies and they are something i will always continue to do! :))
