Welcome! I'm glad you both are keeping up with your training. I think adults tend to put so much effort into their children and forget that they need to keep fit too. Even though you probably don't have kids yet, just keeping in shape is an encouragement for all other adults.

Thanks! I hope all goes well for you and your flexibility too.

I'm still waiting for our move to a new city, so I can do gymnastics again. In my old city they did not have adult gymnastics either but I was allowed to practice tumbling with the teenagers who were tumbling for cheerleading. We warmed up with laps around the gym, then we stretched and then...

I have Leg Stretcher: Splits Machine Free Shipping! review at Kaboodle I need to get it back out to use but we are supposed to be moving soon and so it sits waiting for me in storage.

Thank you Aussie Coach. I didn't know 2 minutes was ideal. I was doing 30 seconds to 1 minute on each leg (and repeating). I will definitely be doing 2 minutes now.

lisebeast, you were not joking. It is taking me the LONGEST time. :( I'm even seriously considering using natural muscle relaxers.

I'm in my mid thirties and am a beginner, but I would LOVE to go to camp. Perhaps I'll look into it too.

Possibility When it looked like we would be moving to Tampa I looked up gyms and found this one. LaFleur's Gymnastic Club - Tampa

Thanks! Patience is so hard for me, but I know I need it and endurance.

This week I accomplished: Working on my splits every night. I can't go to a gym until we move as they don't have adult gymnastics where we currently live. :(

I just ordered my copy of Front Splits Fast. I can't wait to add that to my daily routine!

Oh thanks so much! I just started using STACEY NEMOUR's Secrets of Splits & Flexibility and I really wanted another one to use in addition to it. I will go check it out!

I really want to get my splits as quick as possible. I am about a foot off the ground for both front splits and 2 feet off the ground for the side splits. Pretty bad I know. Please post any advice you have on getting your splits, any kind. Thanks!

I would like to do the splits (any kind) and a back handspring this year. I'll be starting from scratch as I haven't done anything for 3 years (and I started as an adult so I'm not that good). But, I love it anyway!

Arlington County Recreation Center in Arlington, Virginia offers adult gymnastics at 3 different levels.
