floor exercises

Tumbling on carpet

Floor exercises are gymnastic routines performed on a mat without apparatus—tumbling, acrobatic skills, and dance movements combined into a choreographed sequence.

In competitive gymnastics, the floor exercise is one of the standard events, performed to music for women, without music for men: She scored highest on floor exercise.
