Answer 1

You definitely do have what it takes. If you work hard and put your mind to it you can do it. Oh and about the meat thing...you can eat brown rice and that will give you the proteins that meat gives you. It will make you stronger. Exercise a lot specially on your arm and legs. Practice handstands and do push up it should give you some more strengh and other than that keep at what you are doing and you will be good!

Answer 2

well i did gymnastics but i quit last year and im 13 but lemme tell the most important thing- WORK OUT!!! u need 2 be strong 2 do gymnastics i suggest doing weights, push ups, sit ups, maybe some chin ups if you have any place to do them, and run. when you do this do it 4 15 minutes a day at the least!! if i were u and wanted 2 get in gymnastics really bad id do it 4 about an hour a day. also, if you have a trampoline, practice doing flips on it or something but make sure your parent/legal guardian is around. try as hard as u can 2 eat different food. im a really picky eater 2 but i have learned and you will be glad you did if you do eat more. last, go to a gymnastics place if you can 2 just practice all the thing from hte rings- 2 the vault- 2 the bars ect. i wish you luck and hope you make it

Answer 3

Mentally you really really do.. but if your 13 and cant do a cartwheel well... i dont think you have much chance of being on a competive team.. it gets harder to learn once you get older. just do it for fun! competition takes the fun out of it trust me. just see where you go! have fun w/ it!!

Answer 4

well, you have a chance. but the opportunity window is closing. i was 10 when i started and im competettive now.. just work work work. as for conditioning, work on your core [stomach and back] most of all. its even more important than arms and legs, but of course all are important.
