I am 19 now and i took gymnastics when i was about 10-12. I quit and now i am very interested in it again. I know most ppl start when they are very young and it is a lot more helpful to start at a young age. I am not sure if any gyms will take me since i am older and i dont know if it would be to difficult for me to get in the routine and have the ability anymore. I think i can learn fast im in great shape and am gaining flexibility at home. I just don't think that it is very common for people my age to start gymnastics. Does anyone think that it is reasonable for me to start now?

There is still plenty of time to learn some great skills!

Get out there and give it your best.

I wish you the best of luck finding a club.

You still have plenty of time. Some girls that are on my gymnastics team and are elite gymnasts and started when they were 15.

I have been it it now for almost six months and its going great, but i need more back flexibility then what i have now, i heard it takes forever to build that back flexibility up, but i'm not seeing a hole lot of gain with what im doing now. I do bridges every night. What else could i do?
