In this chapter you will learn about reasons to do gymnastics. One reason
to do gymnastics is because, it’s good for the heart. The other reason is because, it is fun to do flips. Also, there is a flip called cartwheel. In a
cartwheel you get to flip your body over. One more reason is because, it’s   
a good sport to get all your energy out.

In gymnastics there are lots of competitions, where you win medals for
doing the best and you can get trophies for 1st place, 2nd place and 3rd place.  
You are sometimes on a team when you do a competition or you can
choose to compete alone. One important thing is that you need lots of water
and a comfortable outfit, which is called a leotard. This is a special
clothing  you need for gymnastics.  They look like bathing suits. This
outfit is for girls and for boys .
