Is 13 years old to old to start gymnastics?

Question

i cannot choose between rhythmic gymnastics or artistic gymnastics but my real problem is if i am too old!

i cannot do a split and i cannot do a cartwheel or anything but i really like gymnastics. i used to know how to do a hand stand but now i can't! i never took any gymnastics classes

Answer 1

No, it's not to late if you want to do it for exercise and for fun. There are beginner classes for people your age and you will learn how to do cartwheels and hand stands there. But if you want to go into the Olympics, it's too late unless you do major extensive training.

Answer 2

Well if You are lloking to be in the Olypimics someday I think that you may have started a little too late , but if you work really hard it could happen. you could probbably get a scholarship too! Especially if you are lloking too just have some fun! Gymnastics is soo much fun and you form so many great friendships there! Please do it, I gaurenteed you will love it!

Answer 3

ur not to old.....rythmic requires a LOT of flexibility....so unless u have that i would pick artistic.....i was 13 when i started and was able to compete 2 years....go 4 it if u really want to!!!!

Answer 4

If you like it, do it!  To hold  yourself back would be a shame.
