Question: Older Gymnastics!?!? Could you learn!?
I know most people who can do back flips and tumbles prob started at a really young age like 5, but is there a way a 16 yr old could learn to do that!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It is not true that most people who can do these things started really young!. I can do back and front handsprings and baack and front flips and I never took up gymnastics until I was an adult!.

Many people take the sport up later and are often better at it and faster learners than kids!. Kids who start gym at 5 generally take several yeasr to learn these things!. Teens and adults can progress much faster as they are naturally stronger and better coordinated!.

I know of adult who have taken up gymnastics in their 50's and 69's and have successfully learned back flips and tumbling!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
