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! 🤣
 
At my gym, we have something called Rec Gym (short for recreational gymnastics). You can do it at any age but it doesn't require you to compete, and the coach lets you work at your own skill level. Im not in it, i compete lvl 5, but lots of the coaches and past gymnasts do it.

My sister goes to a gym just for tumbling and trampolining. They do have a VERY GOOD adults trampolining & tumbling program there, which my dad does.
