Is 18 years old too late to....

Question

start (rather restart) gymnastics?

I did it from ages 3-9, about 7 years... obviously it's been 10 years since, but is 18 too late? I think it is, but I miss it so much.

Answer 1

Yes, you need to start at age 6 or 7

Answer 2

its not too late buts its too late to go to d olympics  

Answer 3

It's never too late! You should probably start with private lessons first, to get back into it.But I think it's a very good idea.

Answer 4

You can still do it. Its never too late to start something but it would be really hard 2 go to the Olympics unless you are just phenomonal at gymnastics.

Answer 5

i say go for it. i sort of know how you feel.

as for me with the guitar i had tiny breaks here and there but never

stop something you really like.

Answer 6

if you want to be in the olympics it's to late. otherwise no.

Answer 7

I suppose if you aren't flexible enough then it is too late. Flexibility peaks at about 12 but i suppose everyone is different. It might be something you could train your body to do though.

Goood luck with it tho.  

Answer 8

Def. Not!

It's so fun!

Do it again

I know how you feel!

I wanna go back to soccer

Do it!

Good Luck

&

Have Fun!

Answer 9

yeah it is believe or not same goes for boxing, swimming(professionally), tennis, soccer, etc... As you can see are careers that require stamina and growth of muscles that cannot be interrupted that is why when kids are around 12 years old is the best way to start them on any of the sports mentioned, if they want to do it for a living that is. If you just plan to do it for fun sure you can is never  too late. However for been competitive no your chances are very slim but if you think you can try it might get to the top 500 in the world sounds not impressive but when you put into consideration how good some are I think you are getting my point by now. SO GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN.

Answer 10

IF U WANNA B THE BEST IN THE WORLD, ITS A LITTLE TOO LATE, BUT IF U MISS IT AND JUST WANNA GO BACK TO HAVE SOME FUN AND YOU'VE DONE IT BEFORE, IT IS NOT TOO LATE

Answer 11

No, it's not too late. I say go for it!! Good luck!

Answer 12
