[pointeskatecybunny]

I am only just a teen , is it too late for me to start rhythmic gymnastics??

I love it...

[LovelyMe93]

pointeskatecybunny , Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooo :)

[Stagringleap]

@pointeskatecybunny

how old are you>?

[pointeskatecybunny]

Don't really want to mention my age on the internet but i am in my very early TeEns....

Any advice?

[Stagringleap]

@pointeskatecybunny

i see, , i started at the age of 14 the first month of training is not easy , on your beginning sessions you should not push yourself to much, nothing comes in an instant in rhythmic gymnastics you have to work and stretch everyday. . . remember don't push yourself to much in your first sessions

[pointeskatecybunny]

How did you get on and progress?

xxx

[Stagringleap]

Determination

[CinnamonVanillaKitty]

@Stagringleap

is it easier to start if you can do a split and things like that...?

[Stagringleap]

@CinnamonVanillaKitty

the splits are very important , you''l do oversplits on chairs,back bends,bulid up strength etc.

[CinnamonVanillaKitty]

@Stagringleap

thats good ^^ at the moment i am training oversplits for myselfe and my friends are thinking i am crazy XD but i realy wish to start RG soon

[Stagringleap]

@CinnamonVanillaKitty

that's nice , don't let your friends let u down :)) it's not something crazy, it's a very important woekout

[CinnamonVanillaKitty]

@Stagringleap

it´s ok...because i know, that they are just making fun ^^

and i think, if you see RG for the first time it realy seams to be unnatural.

but i am realy afraid that i am to old...

[Stagringleap]

@CinnamonVanillaKitty

:))) don't be afraid , everything will be fine,

[LiveLaughLove8489]

@CinnamonVanillaKitty maybe not. If you can learn everything and become flexible, who knows maybe in 15 years when your like in your late 30's or something you can go the olympics for rg. You never know...even if not. You should do it b/c u love it and find it fun.

[nickisuperhot]

they may go through pain but for some weird reason you love it=)

[walcott47]

NOTE TO FOREIGNERS:

Russia is not just about vodka, ushanka hats, cavier, bears, Lenin and gymnastics.

[emiliatrag]

True, It's about ocupating other countries too

[iirriinnaa2009]

@walcott47 AGREED. I'm from Russia and I sure as hell know that's not what the country, or people focus around. Although Vodka is pretty good. ;)

[Yuri92001]

@iirriinnaa2009 Well every country unfortunately has their stereotypes.

[Siolove]

@walcott47 REALLY!

[KibahinaxSasuino]

@walcott47

Ballet, too...

[stellabeumer]

@walcott47 Yeah, I noticed you forgot to mention environmental disasters.

[Lorelai271]

@walcott47 That's maybe true, but here are videos of gymnastics, not about all Russia! Noone said Russia is what did you write. I don't understand you. You are maybe proud Russian, but we just said they're good in gymnastics. That's all.

[lillianrhiannon]

@walcott47 I can understand that you want people to see other parts of Russian culture, but you could be prouder of the fact that Russian gymnasts are so amazing! Why not embrace the good things?

[lillianrhiannon]

@walcott47 I can understand that you want people to see other parts of Russian culture, but you could be prouder of the fact that Russian gymnasts are so amazing! Why not embrace the good things?

[Ardenis9]

@walcott47 you left Stalin out:)

[LaurenStar111]

@walcott47 dont froget ballet (even though i used to go there and its quite good ;D)

[Kbabykgirlk]

@walcott47 not just about ushanka hats, bear?????what is that for?

[psychojoker131]

Oh if any doesn't get the secrets, they are the words they show in here, like grace, force, etc.

[psychojoker131]

I luv the song! Haha but there like the best u ever seen. They go thru pain to get flexible, but maybe it's worth it;) as u can see....

[xXxTheWhiteWolfxXx]

I love russian gymnastics they are best.

[ChOkOlaDkOo]

Русские гимнастки самые сильные и самые красивые!

[Ksanphipa]

[duchwhiteindian]

[EcargEnimsaj]

[Lvieru96]

[SibirianHusky]

@Lvieru96

[MagicThighXXX]

Секрет в красоте !

[anzdf]

[antina34]

[Grizzliii]

Wischij Klass! :)

[conniefan2]

well there is a ovbios 1 that if you cant lest say do the splits they would say take a deep breath then they would push u down, ouch!

[miriam672]

good music

[cooperneely]

god their oversplits are insane....

[ndrakey]

the secret is the russian beauty which nobody can resist :D

[IsaRG4ever]

Holy Shit!!!!!!!!!!!

They are so .. ordely!!!

[maxandor100]

I think the secret is to work hard from 5-6 years old

[Guitarible]

How long dus it take to learn the split ??

[getlost201]

It all depends on the person. If you start early on as a child it's a lot easier. When I first started it was really easy for me and only took about 4 or 5 practices until I could get into a raised split, but one of my friends couldn't get it for about a month. It all has to do with how flexible you are naturally and how hard your work at it.

[annapinksecret]

i recomend warming up for at lest 20 b4 going into it. and count for 60 sec. on each leg untill u can tolorate it and then u can start 90 sec and so on lol but yea if u work on it everyday ull get it in about a month. maybe less maybe more.

[futurerockstar250]

very true. dance is different from gymnastics but becoming flexible is something that always varies from person to person. i do dance and got my splits within my first 2 years (when i was 4 and 5) but my friend got hers when she was 7.

[miniskirt90210]

I kno what u mean but my dance teacher wanted me to get mine quick so SHE trained me and when it comes to splits....shes not the nicest haha

[SweetRandom123]

2 learn a split, it just depends on how much u practice... i learned it in about 5 weeks all i did was sat in a split position *no matter how much it hurt* while i watched tv and stuff...

[quisqueyamami]

If your like really into working into the splits. it will take over than 5 weeks or a month. but ios your a fast learner mayb 2 weeks.

Bur rhis is called fro alot! of stretching trust me!

[skeptabum3dg]

You have to work up your flexibilaty :D

[yoghurtsky]

not long - you can take 2 weeks to a month - just practise at night when your muscles are not tight. practise on the bed before you sleep. do pike stretches first then move into the splits.

[7FridayGirl109]

it took me 3 years to get my split- i still have troble now and then. but if you stretch right and are careful you'll get it. i dance, and at my old studio my teacher used to push us- there were 3 of us, 2 were 9 and i was 11 or 12- i go to a new studio now though.

just keep practicing!

[Esoparagon]

what a waste. :(

[EzraPounded]

So, what are the secrets of Russian gymnastics?

[Dadik1]

TRAIN SO HARD TO ACHIEVE BEST RANK!

[nicolaelizabeth12]

But this is why i love rg.

It gives you the most amazing feeling when you finally stick your element.

[shanedawsonlova123]

NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do rhythmic gymnastics and my coach stretches my back so hard like hell, but I usually try not to scream cuz i know that some ppl have to fear worse pain.

[buggle724]

this is going to sound kinda weird but how does she stretch your back? i do rhythmic gymnastics also and my coaches stretches mine but it doesn't do much and i want to get my back really flexible!

[j3003]

paint no mather when you look for perfection

[MellexClou]

Force, Beauty, Grace, Patience ... But Ugly Leotard!

[friendswoah]

do they stretch them until they are this flexible? or are most of them just naturally flexible?

[wolifgang]

no they stretch. Some born flexible, so it is easy for them. Some r no, so they stretch them extra hard.

[nicolaelizabeth12]

I am currntly a level 9 rhythmic gymnast.

Simply put we stretch, as wolifgang said, some are naturally born flexibleothers like me, have to stretch everyday to keep up with the other girls, i am doing year 12 this year and not only do i go to school for 6 hours a day i go to gym from 4 till 10 every weekday and all day saturday, and most of that time i spend stretching to keep up with the other girls.

[KrysikN]

The secret is brutal training and extremely high expectations. There, now you know...

[SternInternational]

where did you get this video from?

[nangirly]

the secret is training training and training!

haha :p

and having a russian coach..

and lovee this sport with all your soul! LIKE ME! :)

[ballzofire82]

Good video. Our girls are the best.

Vera is hugely talanted

[Koubenlin]

wow excellent video

[rhythmicfreak912]

great performance. inspirational. love it. fave sport.

[SarahFayecroft]

Inspiring.

This form of art is compelling.

Truly demonstrates what the ideal human being is capable of .

Human Beings are beautiful.

We are aritists!

[xxxIRossHi]

Very well put.

[mah044000]

maybe if the video footage wasn't chopped up so much to the point where I nearly had a seizure, this wouldn't have been too bad to watch. Other than that... the actual sport itself is amazing!

[mizshorty527]

omg , how do they use those objects like that? like the ball. batons, string, hula hoop. it looks soooo hard!

[chocolate0cheesecake]

haha it involves a lot of training. and we get lots of injuries. by the way they're called ball, clubs, rope, hoop, and floor, but it's not that important what the name is just that it's super hard! =)

[Aerobicgymnastic]

and the secret was??

[2flexible4u]

the music was a bit distracting

[tardiscrew666]

omg i dnt understand it its too ... errr ... i dno flashy it dont stay still long enough to take in the information

[TherealBazter]

Sorry, found it :-)

[TherealBazter]

Hi,

Does anyone know the music track to this video?

[xJanaVM]

''just like i am''

loser.

[lagogo18]

well, the video is definitely not a secret

[guste30]

I go to the gym 4 days a week, four hours a day! So i do this a lot! Its very hard! And you have to work extremely hart to get a medal, by the way your coach yells at you that u\your doing bad and to word harder! Sometimes its annoying, i wanted to quit a few years ago but i coulnt! So this sport is awsome and really har! so try to stretch your self every day and you will get used to the pain and you will become flexible, just like i am!

[xPinkxdancex]

i know how ya feel..my coach was russian so she always use to like yell and if anyone was too lazy she would like push us down and call us idiots

[ohhotdam12]

if use wanted to know who sings this song its THERESE

[sweettartweinerdog]

pretty, me likey, lol, there good.... no, REALLY GOOD =D

[aviomaster]

RUSSIAN ladies are the most beutifull in the world , rhytmic gymnastics fits them well /

[chocolate0cheesecake]

aaaaaaaamen :D

go russians!!

[LAGUT18]

what about someone who would like to start to train for gymnastics with 16 years old?

[Agilitypoodle385]

yehh, i am 12 and i am not flexible at all. i do ordinary gymnastics but i would love to do this type of gymnastics.

[xXxReflectingGod]

There is always different programs for rhythmic gymnastics, there is recreational, performing, or competitive. if you want to compete, you could start, but you would just have to have alot od dedication, and get used to the long hours fast. But if you really love something, try and do it.

[p1meluvu]

I love dis vid its a gd song aswell -xoxo-

[xblondbimbox]

Its called "Feeling me"

[michokoMlechoco]

Hello all

The title is "Feeling me" but what's the name of the group or singer ?

[ohhotdam12]

THERESE sings that song feelin me :)

[EzraPounded]

Yeah, in fact, you won't have much luck finding it with the "g" at the end of feeling. It's Feelin' Me.

[livozzz]

what is the tittle of this song?

[1wwegal1]

awesome but im still w8ing 2 her the secrets lolz! but thats really kool

[happyquails]

...how about "music video" instead?

[reynaldomonterrey]

nice sekrets,stupid,say show off video n than ppl will choose to watch or not,dumbass!!!

FEXARENGE!!!

[LyfeKitten]

holy crap! i only got that kind of flexibility in my rite leg, i cant do anything with my left...=(

[Aikay373]

lmao. weird !!! =/ hehe

[TatainaRG]

Ver shiminskaya isn't the olympic champion of 2000, yulia barsoukova is.

[cindyirene2001]

In group rhythmics, she's part of the gold medal group. Yulia is for individual rg.

[TatainaRG]

Oh, thanks.

[AlyssaF021]

rythmic gymnatics is should not even be concindered gymnastics. you twirl hula hoops around and batons. in REAL gymnastics you actually have to do something.

[alic3na]

That`s the most stupid comment I`ve ever read

[TatainaRG]

bitch, you probably just don't even know what RG is and ur all ready telling some kind of dumb stuff.

[Dutchess222]

rg is alot like ballet, but different. one thing they both have in common is that theyre both extremely hard. dont make stupid comments

[AutumnNatae]

Russians are natrual born competetors--espeacailly in gymnastics

[SimonEigo]

yeah thats hard work!

they can handle the ball better than a dumb soccerplayer! every kind of gymnastic and dancin  is better than every other sport for me! after that there are Judo and Kung Fu! there´s no synonom! hope u can understand my english... try to improve! gymnastics forever! bye ^^

[funnybunny303]

Awesome video! I love the way you put the music and actual video together.

[Nadyushka87]

It is the clip for professional film of Vera Shimanskya. The film was the best in sport festival in 2004 year!

[kittikat78]

with all the training, they probably burn more calories than they can keep up with. I'm sure that some have eating disorders, but probably no more than any other group that's in the public eye.

[prettygymnast1216]

omg ppl they arent like models they do eat but they are REALLY in shape if u didnt eat u would have NO strength to do that

[lukpurtyplaydurty]

u kno if ur n in shape thill kick u off no mater how good u r

[lailagc]

emmm what was the secret?

well good video

[TatainaRG]

The sectret was just force, patience, beuty, and grace.

[tedsler]

So what was the secret?

Brand new leotards and amazing lighting cos it is being filmed by a TV crew? Seemed more like a display of gym wear to me.

I think the secret, not that it is much of a secret, is the approach to training. If you want to be the best you sacrifice a lot. Up to you, commit or quit. There is no other secret really, being at the top and climbing there is not fun

Nice shots tho! Love rhythmic gymnastics!
