You can always take a private lesson at a gymnastics place if you don't like training in front of a bunch of people. But remember, doing a cartwheel takes about 2 seconds. Your arms should be able to support you without a problem. Don't under estimate your own strength. If you want to build muscle in your upper body, you can always do push ups, or abdominal exercises. I always thought pilates is the best way to go if you want to lose weight and build lean muscle control.
