Do you have to be a certain size to go in gymnastics?

No not at all, I was a chubby little kid and did gymnastics for awhile. They are right though it is adviced to start at a very young age.

i kno io was in it when i was little only for a year than i got hurt an had to quit an i was thinkin og goin in tumbbling but im scared cause im not the skinnest girl out there

But do you think i can start now

No you don’t have to be a certain size. I’ve done gymnastics/tumbling for like ever. But then I pulled a muscle in my back and to stop for a month and got back into it. I still do tumbling and I’m 16 and I’m not the smallest or the skinniest person that does it.

I think you can. Practically anybody can start.

okaii thanks will it be harder to learn stuff

It might take you a little bit to get the hang of it. What all are you trying to learn? (and I’ll tell you if it will be hard or not.)

backhand springs, walk overs, back/front slips, front hand springs

Those are easy to learn if you have a good coach teaching you. I think you can learn fast.

kay thanks cause i do learn things really easily, o yeha i wanna try to do splits to

Those will be easy to learn. Just remember stretch every day, do leg lifts like where you grab your foot and pull it up(that will help stretch out your legs for splits) and practice doing splits. You might think this is a little retarded but practice doing handstands up against a wall or something sturdy.(they help with back hand springs and walk overs.
