Possible for a nearly 16 year old male to learn flips?

Question

I want to learn how to do flips and handstands. To help to become more agile. Just thought it would be fun and cool. Also it helps build strength and tone. But I heard people who can do extremely well start very young. Is it too late for me to learn how to do these?

Answer 1

Ok, I honestly taught myself to tumble. I taught myself everything from handsprings to full twists. My safest advice would be go to a certified gymnastics trainer. Do a lot of bridge-ups and stretch all the time. Most of all, practice daily.

Answer 2

i'm 16 to I hope its not to late bc that would be to cool
