Before our kids when I was still coaching and had free gym access....

I'm a coach, I'm 40 yo and I'm going to compete with one of out teams in a friendly league we are participating in. Some of our girls couldn't make for this meet, so I'll do a couple of events. It has been 20 years since I last competed lol.

That’s awesome! Have fun!

I would love to do it, but I never competed in gymnastics as a kid, so I think it would be a pretty high learning (or pretty high conditioning!) curve.

Here! I'm actually going to NAIGC nationals next week

I love “checking in” on my gymnastics skills to see if I still have them. It takes soooooo long to get back in shape, but once I build up my muscles, then it’s just like riding a bike!

I’m 35 and doing gymnastics is still as exciting as it was when I was a kid. Way more painful though

I get headaches now if I do too many tumbling passes. Which always makes me wonder … why doesn’t EVERYONE get headaches when they do gymnastics?? Your brain is just sloshing around your skull at high speeds all the time!!

Doing gymnastics as an adult is a really humbling experience. It really reminds you how difficult gymnastics is.

So true! It’s incredible what we could do as youngsters, I’m in awe of how good I was , now it’s seems so difficult!

I'm on my second year competing as an adult. It's fun to get back out there but with my availability to practice I only have 2hrs a week and really only can work routines so after the aau season I'm just going to be practicing
