So, obviously I love to do gymnastics (women's) but I prefer to watch men's.

Sounds like everyone is doing well in the gym. Congrats on the splits GeoffryTaucer. I only have my right split really good. My left one is almost there, and well , I don't even bother with the middle split b/c it would just be an awful sight:eek:. I won't be back in the gym until Jan...

Can't wait to get back to the gym. I was off a week, then team girls had pictures so most of the equipment was blocked, then I worked another weekend and didn't get to go. I feel like I'm going to have to start over.

I only have 2. But that is b/c I have been out of the gym for 10+ years and now I'm a crazy "old person" trying to do gymnastics. Back in the day I had way too many to count.

I think there is a way to send a private message. You just wouldn't get the whole group unless you sent it to everyone in the group.

My front tumbling experience is pretty much the same as yours. Front tuck- ROBHS, etc... was our front tumbling. We did have one girl that was scared to back tumble and worked alot on front tumbling but other than that, none. I have tried some on the tumble tramp, and I think repetition is...

No gym for me today. I'm stuck working the whole weekend :( I agree about the tumble track, it's very hard to get a good block off of it. We never had one back in the day, we just did everything the old fashion way. I think that is another reason I find front elements so hard.

I am having trouble getting my kip back, and I think it's the waiting part. I'm impatient & I just want to be up on the bar. When I get back to the gym I'll try that out.

Hi, I am an "old" gymnast getting back into the gym for fun & good exercise. I am having a hard time with what conditioning I can do either at the gym or home, besides good old fashioned crunches and push-ups. I was wondering what are some of your favorites you have your team members do for...

What conditioning are you doing? I am a slacker and can't bring myself to condition like I should. I know it would really help. I just don't know where to start.

I DID IT! Standing BHS step out ROBHS ROBHS BHS All on the floor On tumble track I did a couple of FHS FT/FP & worked on front fulls, but could only get around 3/4. I was so excited I forgot about the cartwheels on beam.

Most coaches kind of chuckled a little when I told them how old I was and what I wanted to do. Some suggested I try a health club instead with their lovely assortment of classes. Some did offer strictly tumbling classes, but I want to swing bars and attempt beam (if that's what you want to...

Yeah, I can do them on a line. I can do one on a floor beam too. Let's just say it's not the prettiest cartwheel ever. Muscle- up, I used to hate those things. Great Job on that.

good job. I haven't even attempted one on beam yet. Maybe I'll try one on Saturday.

I'm just wondering how exactly does everyone work out? Do most of you take actually adult classes? I do open gym work outs because there is only 1 gym in my are that has actual adult classes and they are only once a week and I work a weird schedule. The gym I have found lets me come in on...

Nothing really big. But I did feel like I had better form in my BHS on tumble track. I felt like I was tighter in my back/mid section. Made for better, higher tucks and layouts. At least I think so.

Who inspired you to take up gymnastics? Not sure who in the beginning, I was just always in gymnastics. What is your best event? Back then- floor, vault & bars were all about the same. Now- don't really have one. What is your worst event? Beam used to be but I feel strangely drawn to it...

I'm just glad to see that I am not the only adult here.

Hey Everyone, I am actually a "retired" gymnast, but have recently found a gym that lets me workout on Saturdays. I'm a little to old to do what I used to do but it sure is fun.

Hey all, My name is Sarah & I am a former gymnast. I have been "retired" for about 12 years. 2 months ago I found a gym that will come let me work out and not take classes, just work out by myself. I am loving it. Any advice from coaches or other adult (I don't like to think of myself as...
