Gymnastics is the performance of planned exercises

either as a competitive sport or to improve strength,

agility, coordination, and physical conditioning. This
may include running, jumping, tumbling,
somersaulting, flipping and balancing. These exercises
often include the use of rings, bars, and other tools.
Gymnastics began as a form of exercise in ancient
Greece. It was one of the first sports in the Olympics.
At the Olympics, gymnastics is usually divided into
Men's and Women's Gymnastics. In women's
gymnastics, there are four activities: floor, uneven
bars, balance beam, and vault. In men's gymnastics,
there are six activities: floor exercise, parallel bars,
high bar, pommel horse, vault, and rings. Freestyle
Gymnastics is a term adopted by British Gymnastics
to describe a new and rapidly developing activity
which also incorporates aspects of other popular
activities, such as Parkour and Free running.
