It sounds like you have made the right decision for yourself. If you were no longer enjoying competitive gymnastics it just isn't worth it. I am so glad to hear that you are still going to be able to continue to do gymnastics but on your own terms.

I am glad you have made a decision you are happy with. good luck with your rec class and I hope it brings back the joy to your gymnastics

You are young & should be enjoying this time of your life! If rec classes are more fun for you... then so be it! I know this was a difficult decision for you. Team has been been such a major part of your life. Wishing you all the best! Look... now you can have the best of both worlds...the sport you enjoy, staying fit & having FUN!!!

Good for you, great choice to find a way to continue doing what you love without having to feel badly. I am very impressed with the maturity you have shown in making this choice.

That is wonderful Rachelle! Sounds like you will have a lot more fun doing that then competative gymn. I hope you have a great time. If you decide that you like competative gymn again, you can always go back because you won't have forgotten everything like you would if you had quit.
