There are a couple similar threads so I decided to start one specifically about adult gymnastics :]
I've learned:
-that it is actually possible to gain flexibility after the age of 12
-that gymnastics manages to make every single part of your body sore at some point
-that most people will think you're insane when you tell them you take gymnastics
-that there seems to be an issue with calling us "gymnasts" just because we're not kids
-that a helpful tip from a team coach can make an adult gymnast's day...you don't have to pretend we're not there!
-that there aren't nearly enough adult meets out there!
-that I can amaze myself with my physical and mental toughness every class
-that two 50+ year olds can inspire an entire gym
-that team coaches and kids getting excited over adults getting new skills is quite possibly one of the coolest things in the world
What have you learned?
