Hey /fit/ I have a question for you.

I'm currently 19 years old, and for some time now I've
really wanted to get into Gymnastics.I have found two local school that seem legitimate. I'm in pretty
good shape, and I can always start stretching
frequently to get a head start on this. My question
is, is it useless to actually go into this at my age?
Since I havn't taken any form of gymnastics
before, will this be a fruitless attempt in which
the results will never satisfy me?

I'm not looking to be an Olympian or something,
I just really want to be able to hurl myself through
the air while flipping.

Just think of all the failed football players who become college cheerleaders. They can all do flips. If you aren't looking to be an Olympian you will be fine.

To get to the olympic level, no, it's too fucking late.
To get decent, I so no problems.

What's your height OP? If you're tall, gymnastics are going to be an uber bitch.

No way am I trying to do Olympic stuff.

My heigh, I'm 5'11.

You'll have to put a bitch more work in it, then the 5'2-5'5 guys, but your motion will be more fluid.

Anyway 5'11 is good enough for a go, if you we're >6 feet, I'd say don't bother.

Sounds good, thanks :)

I'm going to head to the school now and
talk with the teacher. See ya!
