Gymnastics is harder. That doesn't mean that cheerleading is easy, though! It's a tough sport! But gymnastics requires more overall strength and more training hours.
It really depends on the level.
But say you are doing a high level in both the sports, gymnastics is more mentally demanding as there is so many training hours at a higher level (i was only 10 training 24 hours a week). So this is both mentally and physically draining. Gymnastics is also very very strict!
Cheer is hard in its own way because there is a whole team of people relying on you, and not everyone can deal with that pressure, however there is a lot lett training hours!
I would say gym is harder and cheer is way more fun and rewarding.
Gymnastics is harder because u have to be more flexable and try much harder!
Gymnastics although both are physically demanding gymnastics encompasses more activities and therefore is more strenuous
Just an honest question. :)
