Jason Ritter

"The parallel bars where you sort of swing around from bar to bar and do all that kind of stuff. Anytime I watch the gymnastics that's when I think to myself, 'Boy I would love to be able to do that with my body.'"

Rebecca Black

"Probably gymnastics because that's the only thing I have experience with. A couple years, I did tumbling and roundoffs, back handsprings all that. But I can't do that anymore."

Tia Mowry

"I would definitely have to say ice-skating. My sister and I used to ice-skate when we were younger. We'd hit the rink and ice hockey and figure skating and all that."

Chelsea Kane

"I actually did gymnastics and I was terrible. [I] was very like girlie and whiney. I didn't want calluses and then I played soccer and I won best dressed on the team, which I think pretty much sums up what an athlete I was."

Kate Flannery

"Gymnastics because I think it's awesome. But I'd be too afraid—I'm afraid of heights, so maybe swimming."

Ryan Guzman

"I would create a sport. I would create MMA. I would love to fight in the Olympics. If not, then I'd go back to boxing...I was a fighter before being an actor."

Abby Lee Miller

"I'd probably have to say gymnastics because it's the closest to dance, but I would really work on those girls' turns. They're athletes, we're artists. It's a different concept."

Carly Rae Jepsen

"I think I'd be more the type to sing the National Anthem and call it a day."
