    WAG Xcel Bronze Beam - Adult

    I was going to do handstand but A LEVER COUNTS? Okay! I can do that no problem. So the only skill I'm missing to compete bronze is my back hip circle and also the fact this "old lady" is pretty inflexible so my leaps in my floor routine is gonna be pretty rough. Thanks CB for your help (I...

    WAG Xcel Bronze Beam - Adult

    Long time no chat CB! I've been busy with work and out of the country! After I returned I realized my teammates signed me up for a meet (xcel Bronze) in January. As an out of shape 31 year old I'm worried I won't have all the skills clean in a month. For beam it states "One non-flight acro...

    WAG Adult Gymnastics Meet!

    @fuzi @Randomactsofcheer WOW!! I can't believe at all the adults that have competed. I'm honestly super impressed and inspired. I would love to see videos of any adult competitions. Okay guys...I think you have me mostly convinced. ;) I guess part of me is a little worried I might be...

    WAG Adult Gymnastics Meet!

    Two (Jenny and Stacy) are moms! I'm super impressed how good shape they are in after having multiple children! We have plenty of people in our class that started only as adults. (I started at the age of 27.) However, all the ladies that competed at this meet also competed as children about 20...

    WAG Adult Gymnastics Meet!

    Thanks for the support! I think they did great. Our coach is a rec coach so we had to look up requirements for routines and things on our own. I can bring up these things to my girls when they compete again in October. The routine she choreographed is super fun. She's a gymnast turned...

    WAG Adult Gymnastics Meet!

    I know I am commenting on an older post, but I finally edited a video of all the routines from the meet. The video is super long (13 minutes) to include everyone's routines, but I'd just thought I'd share.

    WAG The average number of elite gymnasts in an elite gym

    My gym has 4 level 10's. (We are not an elite gym). However a neighboring elite gym has 18 level 10's and 1 elite.

    Parents Moms Who Critique Other Kids: A Short Vent

    THIS makes me so mad. No parent should talk about a child this way. I have a parents and family members that used to talk and still talk (even though I'm in my 30's) about my body. This has been a detriment to my self esteem and own negative self talk. I have tired super hard to not mention...

    WAG Adult Gymnastics Meet!

    I didn't realize I could mount by jump to front support! (I only can do a pullover standing on a pretty tall block so I didn't think I could do a whole routine...) Anyways I think it is too late for me compete this year. If my get a good pullover I can totally complete silver next year (if I...

    WAG Adult Gymnastics Meet!

    I am super proud of my fellow adult gymnasts in my class. This weekend they are competing Xcel Platinum. All these ladies are 30+ years old (we do not need to get specific when it comes to ages :p) and two of them haven’t completed in over 2 decades! We only practice once a week, I’m impressed...

    Mental blocks Any advice????

    I am the mental block queen. So...while I have no experience doing flyaways (on bars I pretty much only have a pullover) I have two things that help me on my blocks: 1). Like what Flipandfly said, "Go back to basics!" Start over like you are learning the skill again. Work up to doing the skill...

    TMI - Feeling Like I have to go...

    I'm an 30 something adult gymnast who has been tumbling for a couple years. I notice when I'm on the trampoline or tumble track doing skills/passes, I often feel like I'm going to pee. I've actually peed my pants (only a little bit) once as well. Does this happen to anyone else? Is this just...

    WAG YouTube/instagram fame and NCAA

    I love watching gymnastics meets online, but I do get annoyed all "X-Child is Future Olympian" videos I see in my suggested Youtube feed. Those girls (while still good gymnasts in their own right) are not even close to a level where they would be to Olympic bound. But I remind themselves that...

    WAG YouTube/instagram fame and NCAA

    About the little 6 year old. WOGA dosen't allow filming during class so her mom can only film during meets now. I think it depends on the kid. I tend to be a private person so I wouldn't like it if my mom posted daily videos my life, but other people might enjoy to have their life...
