    My First Class

    I appreciate the support everyone. You know, I imagine it is interesting to read about someone's experience as they are just starting out, especially as an adult and not as a child. So I'll aim to give you more information as I progress. Marie I would love to hear your drills for...

    Upper Body Conditioning.

    Matthew I welcome your video. Especially if it details exactly how to get into the correct position to do the exercises and includes examples of what not to do as well. I can do pull up, but can I do it right? How should my elbows be positioned? shoulders? back? etc. That's the kind of...

    My First Class

    Thanks Marie. I certainly will keep you updated as I'm sure I'll have tons of questions. Your Avatar says that you are a coach. How long have you been a gymnast? Any tips you can provide us young at heart but not so young in age?

    New to Gymnastics

    Thanks for the warm welcome Catya, LittleLady and Dannolynn! This seems like a pretty friendly community. I have always had an interest in gymnastics and love watching the gymnastics competitions on t.v. However, when I was young my mother couldn't afford gymnastics lessons for me. As I got...

    New to Gymnastics

    Hi, My name is Kim. I'm new to the forum and gymnastics as well. I posted over in the Intro forum but wanted to say hi to everyone in the adult forum since I plan to be pretty active here. Since I'm totally new to gymnastics I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions. Hope you'll be patient...

    Hi everyone! I'm excited to be here. I'm Kim, 32 Years old and have NEVER taken gymnastics lessons in my life! I've always wanted to as a child but my mom couldn't afford it. I'm also not all that coordinated but now I am determined to try. My 5 year old niece has started taking classes and...
