Description
Wanted to share this montage, to see what everyone thinks!

This montage is of my sister, who is now 18 years old, and started training when she was 16.

I hoped it would inspire some people who think they are 'too old' for gymnastics.

When Michelle started she could not get down in splits, could not do a chin up or even hold a dish position. With hard work and complete dedication she is now the strongest and most flexible person in our gym!

I love it. Very inspirational. I started gymnastics at the same age as her and I think this definitely shows what we older gals can accomplish when given the chance.

Wow!wow! wow! Thanks for posting this fine tribute to your sister, so sweet! Be very proud of your hardwork & determination Michelle, it's going to take you far in life! Awesome progress for any gymnast, let alone one who just started in the sport 2 yrs ago! Were you involoved in some other sport or dance prior to starting gymnastics? Your flexibility, strength & body control are awesome! Keep up the great work!

Michelle started when she was 16, she could not touch her toes, someone could have crawled through her middle split, and her front splits weren't even close. However it was obvious she had a lot of potential to become flexible.

Thanks for all your kind comments, I will show her them tonight, and Im sure she will be very happy

That's some increditable stuff for a late starter (or anyone for that matter). Thanks for sharing.

I don't think this is achievable flexibility for most unless they start young, no matter how hard they work at it.
