Is it too late for me to get into Gymnastics

Question

I want to do gymnastics (just for a hobbie)

But, im 17 & 5ft 11 - Have i left it too late?

Answer 1

You could do yoga for flexibility? I used to do gym & then went on to coach when i was about 17, i still used to join in with the kids.  I am tempted to do yoga now.. it improves everything really; toning, balance etc.

I love gym though, i'd give it a try. Phone around and see where there might be other older members/a gym suited to you.

Answer 6

Professionally, it is too late, but as a hobby, you have many years to do so.

Answer 7

well i got into gymnastics when i was 11 and i liked it but i was with 6 and 7 year old and eventullay i quit. but if you can already do advanced tricks then you could probably get to a higher level faster.

If you are not as advance and dont want to be with younger kids then if you could  tumbling normally those girls are older because alot of girls do tumbling because they are cheerleaders and cheerleaders tend to be older.

Answer 10

no it never too late

Answer 11

It's not too late.  You might feel silly at first with all those younger kids doing outrageous things while you're only a beginner, but don't let that drag you down!  It takes time and stretching to get real limber and a lot of practice to do the really cool looking stuff.  I don't see you going to the olympics or anything starting off at this age, but if you keep at it and get real good, you might have some competitions in the future, or you could become an instructor for beginners...

Answer 12

It's not too late to get into it, you can do it whenever you want.

However you may not be much good at it.
