How to Do Level 4 Floor Routine in Gymnastics

Competing in gymnastics takes practice and talent. The requirements for floor routine elements get more difficult with each competitive level. These requirements vary depending on the governing body of the competition.

Instructions

1. Read the requirement for the elements of a level 4 floor routine. Make sure that you incorporate each of the requirements into a routine to avoid point deductions.

2. Pick suitable music for a routine. In general, a floor routine moves quickly so the music you pick should be upbeat.

3. Hire a choreographer to help you plan a routine. Pick a choreographer that specializes in gymnastics so she will know the best places to put the required elements for maximum effect.

4. Practice your floor routine as much as possible prior to the competition. Try to practice the routine all the way through. If you are having trouble with any particular part, practice that part alone or consider changing it slightly.

5. Get a full night of sleep on the night before the competition. Then, you will be less likely to make mistakes.

6. Eat a balanced meal before the competition. This will keep your mind clear and help you to stay focused on your routine.

7. Relax before you perform your level 4 floor routine. Your performance will seem more fluid and natural if you are relaxed.

Tips & Warnings

• Never try to perform a level 4 floor routine if you are injured. You could cause a minor injury to become serious.
