Static balances in Gymnastics

In gymnastics you can use static and dymnamic balances. For example: Static balance performing a back bend. Dymnamic balance performing a cartwheel. Have a go at the static balances in the worksheet. Whilst performing the different static balances, think about the quality of the move- Do your legs or arms need to be straight? Do your toes need to be pointed?

Can you come up with your own balances?
