@Jadeismycolor

That story has scared me, and now I am afraid to stretch with my instructor. That is really creepy! I do feel sorry for the kid though.

[kaiiiiiitxO]

He must have a vagina.

[SparklyBunny123]

tulking abooout being flexble in gymnatics.

:L

[valentinam19]

omg i clicked here by chance and i went to this gym when i was little!!! he was my coach husband!! :D what a coincidence! 

[Jadeismycolor]

I remember back when I was 10 ( I'm now 14) I was stretching in the splits... and I here a " OH MY G- !!" Everyone paused too look at the male gymnast instructor kneeling over some random boy. There was blood. He had made him stretch too far ( You know the instructor slowly pushes you down while your in the splits...) The kid probably won't ever have kids again. That same day my brother quit gymnastics saying it was too "risky".

[XowntXihqX]

puching :D

[lykah143]

don't forcing huh?

[LoveBeautifulAlways]

wouldnt that hurt your balls if you were a guy......... o.o

[iswhatever]

@LoveBeautifulAlways oh, the joys of wearing a dance belt, jock strap or cup.. surely you've heard of those..

[LoveBeautifulAlways]

@iswhatever i heard of those. T-T im not stupid. thank you very much

[gymnasticslevel5sjc]

shut up Luigi!

[MsJamz25]

outch i did it and my back hurts

[onearmer]

Yes thats true. There is no answer for "How to be Flexible as a Gymnast". 5 Whys how to stretch. But you have more musles than 5. This is the basic. Not more...

[SocoLoco888]

no affence but , this video isnt veryy good , the people doing the streches are bounceing when they are stretiching and you shouldd never do that cause what happens is : - stretch bounce bounce bounce and SNAP goes the musle . It's a good video though (:

[LilZazacute]

I never did gymnastic, but my dance teacher showed me these streches (not the video but the streches :P) so I'm flexible as a gymnast :)

[igotyourmoney23]

hehehehe the coach makes me laugh :D

[lalalahorizen]

I like how they had a guy be an example for once.

[alycat231]

i cant see eeeee anythng cu of the craazzzy words!!!!

[Bloodz999]

that guy probably has no nuts

[Sambucca]

@Bloodz999

Doing the splits doesn't hurt your nuts, unless you have yours attached to each leg.

[Bloodz999]

@Sambucca

suck my dick

[Sambucca]

@Bloodz999

No.  Good bye.

[uk993]

Okay....Imma wanna do that straight leg bridge!

[AyaSarhan]

I want to be a gymnast >:(

[dubusy]

me too i want to be flexible...

[themax122333]

is this india

[Gymnastoftheday]

Funny, the guy has better splits then the girl.

[KcAriaGirl]

This is not helpful, at all. It just gives basic statements.

[kekeeilum]

how much should you weigh to be a gymnast?

[Purplestar249]

@kekeeilum weight doesnt matter too much because gymnasts have muscles and muscles way more than fat, but obviously u wanna be quite light to be able to hold your body weight better :)

[gurly159]

@kekeeilum u dont need to weigh a certain amount to b a gymnast...... but then again im not an all around gymnast..... im a power tumbler...

[hank1231]

wow, the first thing they show is a guy bouncing in a stretch...quite possibly the worst thing you can do....unless oyu want to strain or pull something...expertvillage has some of the worst experts :(

[KalexCullen]

o.O that bridge is hard! It hurts! :P

[MikhailBortsov]

@KalexCullen Bridge is one of the sure ways to hurt your lower back (sometimes seriously), if your are trying to do it as if you are 5 years young...

[KalexCullen]

@MikhailBortsov I am 14, but some 5 years old can do it when they're gymnasts. It mostly hurts because I have never done it that way, just with curved legs :S

[MikhailBortsov]

@KalexCullen Sorry, for being ambiguous. I'm >30.

I only meant one must be very careful, if you haven't done that for a long time.

[theunnamedperson]

OAAAAUAUAUAUAUAUCH... yeah. no comment.

[matt36956]

Que

[littleappies]

@cutiepie10241

[nadolaxgirl911]

[cutiepie10241]

[lifechangin13baby]

[jazziscool123]

[crazzygirl100]

I strech every night before bed and i do yoga also.I am able to put the tips of my toes in my ear and touch my head with my feet.I can also put both my fgeet behind my head at the same time and do the splits.

[crazzygirl100]

[spidergal777]

[bellylaffgirls]

Madi

[1998232v6]

How about as flexible as a martial artist? lol

[SceneGirl1081]

aww! i use to be able to put my foot behind my head and do spilts back when i went to karate.aww! I MISS being so fexible.

[saltfan2]

sinse they only work with yong people theyr advice is cinda worthless

[mazimoomoo]

try practicing on a trampoline '13ketong13'

practice gymnastic moves to stretch and you should be able to do your moves soon enough

[13ketong13]

im 17 right now i was flexible back when i was 14 but i quitted dancing i used to do mainly popping and locking and headstands but now i cant do it anyone could recommend a stretching guide thingy or like how often should i stretch...? :P

[sillyyute]

i used to do the same thing im 19 now

you should do it i would say everyday once or twice a day and not more cause u might hurt yourself and do the stretches they showed u on here and also butterfly stretches wit headstands u need strength training for your arms and some work for abs and balance. cardio would help with your stamina also so that u can dance for long period of time without being winded

[Ccgirl4]

i started stretching last year and i can do heel stretches, scorpions, bow and arrows, and have alll my splits. it just takes time.

[JulioJustiniano]

I train in Muay Thai, Boxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Flexibility is much needed. I have a habit of stretching my arms a lot for some reason so they are fine, but when it comes to legs I lost so much throughout the years.

How often should I stretch? Daily? Any days rest?

[sabinasmile]

Daily is best, but of course if you feel any pain don't force your body.

[Pujc]

aham, i practice almost 5 jear ago flexibility training and just now are nearly so flexible , so that become flexbility slowly thats true.

[chivatame]

i really wanna learn how to do those flexiblity stuffs uh...is there still a chance 4 me? cause im already 11

[marvincoleman12]

Id Start rapidly

[electriCITYxlove]

There's more than enough time. I used to not even be able to touch my toes. Then in track and field I picked up hurdling when I was 15 and in less than a year i gained so much flexibility. Just keep at it.

[mizshorty527]

hey

same here :)

it takes practice and patience

to become flexible

[Love2SingAndDance1]

hey i'm guessing the same thing too!!i'm 11 but i wonder if i still can be flexible

[kittycatsrule86]

of course; age doesn't matter its just the way you stretch

[lileric911]

lol im 14 in im trying to learn

[Vkroar]

NO..... jk ya there is there are people who started at 16 and became in circusus so ya

[ITSONLYAKISS]

i do cheerleading when i was 11 i couldnt do spilts now im 13 and i can do splits, bow n arrow that kind of stuff, just keep streching and DO TAKE IT SLOW!!

[masterpeter1234]
