What is the ます form of.the main verb itself here? Why isn't that the form used, rather than the one with the auxillary?

[Keith_APP]

The ます form is やります.

ています form is the continuous form. It means I am doing gymnastics, or I do gymnastics constantly as a habit.

Doing or practicing?

[Nekomanna]

This can be both. やっています can be "I am doing it right now", or "I practice it regularly".

[Joe264823]

I thought regularly is yarimasu and it should be im practicing it.

Anyhow my knowledge got rusty, have to read up on it again.

[avidrucker]

Doing is what it says here. No mention of practice, which is 練習・れんしゅう

[Rk5I3]

I always fail English here. I write "I do the gymnastics" and get it wrong.

Just one remark when to use SURU and when to use YARU: https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/15383/differences-in-usage-between-%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B-and-%E3%82%84%E3%82%8B

[PIEROS16]

たいそうをやっています - たいそうですか？ - たいそうですね
