    WAG Stretches for back walkover

    So I am working on my back walkover, and I was wondering if anyone has good stretches you recommend for your back? I have heard from friends and the internet that bridges can be really bad for you, plus they make my lower back really sore, so I’m trying to not just do those. Also, (sorry for 2...

    WAG I want to start gymnastics…but I feel like I’m too old

    Hi! I am 17 and am wanting to start gymnastics again. I was a gymnast from age 3 to about 9 and was a level 3 (I think). I never competed or anything…just did it for fun. Recently since covid hit I’ve been working on regaining old skills and learning new ones on my trampoline and a yoga mat. I...
