Answer 1

Are you flexible?

You can be any age as long as your flexible.

But if you start strechin now, you could be flexible by 2 months.

Here are some essential streches for flexibility.

Answer 2

Hey :)

I say go for it. The only reason people say "too old" is because your prime in gymnastics is around the ages 15-19. In order to be at the highest level possible, you should start earlier so that when you reach that age your at your top. But if you do decide to start here's a couple things you'll probably be dealing with.

1. You'll probably be much older then your classmates

2. They'll be smaller because they started young and are getting the gymnasts body.

Don't get discouraged though its a great sport and you will fall in love with it trust me!

All you need is some dedication!

Before you start your lessons maybe try some stretches and master some simple techniques that you can teach yourself like a handstand, cartwheel, walkover etc.

Here's a website with great stretches for beginner gymnasts!
