gymnastics routine

Scored acrobatic sequence

A gymnastics routine is a choreographed sequence of movements performed as a single continuous exercise, typically on apparatus like the balance beam, uneven bars, or floor.

Routines are scored on difficulty and execution in competition.

Figuratively, anything requiring elaborate coordination may be called a gymnastics routine: Getting the kids ready for school is a whole gymnastics routine.
