Most competitive gymnastics floors are spring floors. They contain springs and/or a rubber foam and plywood combination which make the floor bouncy, soften the impact of landings and enable the gymnast to gain height when tumbling. Floors have clearly designated perimeters--the "out of bounds" area is always indicated by a border of white tape or a differently colored mat. The allowed time for a floor exercise is up to 70 seconds for males and 90 seconds for females. Unlike men, women always perform routines to music. A Floor routine done by a female gymnast must have a variety of leaps, jumps, tumbles and turns. Where as, a male gymnast must have tumbles (front and back). Scoring and rulesFrom Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What is the name of song of Nastia Liukin's floor exercise music? Q. I really like Nastia Liukin's floor exercise music, but i don't know what the name of the song is. I think it's called Dark Eyes, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know the name of the song and who it's by? Also, is there any place I could download the song or something? Asked by Daky - Fri Jul 4 21:20:11 2008 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments A. It's called Dark Eyes, and she was inspired to use it watching Sasha Cohen's 2006 Olympics figure skating short program to the same music. It's a Russian folk song. The lyrics were written by a man named Yevhen Hrebinka and it was eventually set to music, but there's no real specific person who wrote the song. There are a TON of different versions of it, as it's been around for a very long time. If you head over to the Sasha Fans Forum, you can find the version she skated to, but it's not the exact version that Nastia used. If you look up Dark Eyes on iTunes, you'll find a whole series of versions and will probably find the one Nastia is using.

Can't do much sitting on the floor, can you? You need to get up and move. Walk, run, bike, swim, climb, cardio, cardio, cardio. That's how to lose the inches.
