I've been thinking about starting to do gymnastics.I'm 16 and have never had training is it to late to start?

Question

I'm not afraid of doing anything I'm completely self taught and can do back-handspring,standing back tuck,layout and whip.I've been told that that was really good for someone who has never had training. So is it to late for me to start or should I start looking for a gym?

Answer 1

Its never too late to start looking to participate in any sport...

Answer 2

No! I think that if you can do all that already without training, you have talent! And it's like the old saying, "It's never too late"

Answer 3

i think it's a little late if you're already 16

but i think you can catch up if you can do those stuffs

my friend started at 13 and she said it was a little late

Answer 4

If you're just wanting to do it for fun, then no, it's not too late....but if you wanna make it to the Olympics...yeah, probably too late, lol.

Answer 5

its never too late to do things like that and if what u said is true then ud prolly be good at it so go find a gym and a trainer and good luck, ps its amazing workouts

Answer 6

better start now its not to late to get a college scholarship

edit: it actually can be to late to start. if your 30 when you start its to late and you will never be able to be a gymnist, so you better start now.

Answer 7

u should totally start looking for a gym cuz those stuff are really hard and if you taught urself all that then ur really good! if you live anywhere near san diego there is an awesome gym on miramar road called all star gymnastics.

Answer 8

look for a gym. its never to late... but dont be fooled its hella hardwork.

Answer 9

totally i mean if you can do that stuff already then it  be easy

Answer 10

Look for a gym.  It's never too late to start... honestly I've really wanted to find an amature gymnastics class and I'm 24, cannot do any kind of backflip and have really bad flexability.  You have a great headstart being self taught and able to do those things already.  16 is still young.  You can do it!  Go for it!
