Am I too tall or fat to start gymnastics???

Question

Okay im a 14 years old girl who is 5"8' and 160lbs.

When I was 4 years old I was in gymnastics at this great gym and I was really good. I could do a head stand and cart wheel and so they moved me up a few classes so I was practicing with the 8 year olds then that gym went out of business and I couldn't find another I liked so I quit when I was 6years old. I now play soccer and run cross country so im very atheletic.

Am I too old, tall, and fat to start gymnastics at the beginning agai???. I am very flexible but can't do a split yet and I don't know how to do anything but a cartwheel really.

Please respond

Answer 1

It may be difficult for you not only because of your height, but also because you are 14 years old. Most 14 year olds are already in about level 8, and you wold be about level 2 or 3.

Answer 2

no you could start anytime they would get you in shape.
