Answer 1

not at all.  continue for as long as your body can take it.

Answer 2

Dara Torres is 41 yrs old and doing great!   Btw, the Olympics is far too hardcore and competitive to be "just for fun".

Answer 3

nay, you could probably still learn the basic moves. how's your flexibility?

Answer 4

As long as you can do it, go for it.  You are too old for the Olympics though.

Answer 5

No you're not too old, and there should be an olympics category for 25-30 year-olds exclusive,  and 30-40 year olds, 40-50 year-olds, so that there CAN be competition and it's matched to age.

Answer 6

I practiced gymnastics for a year, at the age 15, and I leanred some tricks, such as the split and some others which I don't know the name.

Twenty years later, I restarted to take gymnastics but I could feel couldn't bear too much exercize, and after a year, I didn't gain any more flexibility.

You are inbetween, so you might have more chances of succeeding.

Answer 7

No I don't think so. I'm 25 years old as well and love gymnastics. I competed for a few years until a back injury took me out of gymnastics for good when I was 15.

10 years later I want back in. I'm going to do it so I say go for it. But make sure to start flexibility training now. My injury is still a problem for me today, but I figure....it can't get much worse right?

Answer 8

25 years old is not old ^^
