Answer 1

You aren't to old to do gymnastics.

Answer 2

I think China just proved there's no age limit whatsoever on being a good gymnast :- )

Answer 3

No, you are definitely not too old to start gymnastics.

Since you are a cheerleader, your body is most likely in shape and I'm assuming you are at least some-what flexible.

There are a lot of people (like me)  who start even later and have even less experience than you do.

If this is what you want to do than I say go for it!

Good luck!!

Answer 4

Answer 5

You're not too old to start gymnastics, but if you're starting becase you would like to go to the olympics thats pretty unrealistic, but you're definatly not too old to start!

Answer 6

you're definitley not too old to start gymnastics..the olympics are out of reach, but you are not too old and gymnastics can seriously help you with cheerleading....

Answer 7

You're never too old to start gymnastics, and you sound like you can already do a lot of tumbling.  However, if you do start gymnastics, they may not let you do some more advanced stuff unless your form is good in the basic moves.

Answer 8

ur never too old.
