Question

The game of gymnastics has been around for a long time. The sport developed from the ancient Greeks 4,000 years ago. At the time, exercise was thought to be a good use of one's time. People would spend as much time exercising as they would working on writing or math. Men would meet to develop and practice moves that showed their strength, flexibility, and endurance.
Friedrich Ludwig Jahn is widely credited with developing modern-day gymnastics. Jahn, a German educator, had a great love for his country. He thought that the young people of Germany could be encouraged and built up through gymnastics. In the early nineteenth century, Jahn created the first gymnastics club.
