Abstract

Facts on the ground show that at SMA Negeri 3 Semarang, the learning activities of floor gymnastics for the front roll and back roll materials are not much in demand by students. The cause of the low interest of students is because they feel ashamed and afraid, think it is too difficult to do it, and cannot balance the body.
