Doing a Backflip + Adult Gymnastics

Blog post: http://www.faintstarlite.com/2010/01/i-am-a-gymnast-backflip-and-all/ One of my resolutions was to try and find new forms of exercise I actually enjoy. What a thought, eh? :) So, I've joined a gymnastics class and am loving it.

You know what comes next right? Parkour! :) I've been doing adult gymnastics for a couple years but it's slow going. But who doesn't want to be able to do flips and stuff??

@AmateurAstronaut Parkour looks about as hardcore as it comes! I first heard about it last year... definitely have to be in shape for that!

This is REALLY inspiring. How old are you?

@SUPRA91411 My adult gymnastics class is almost entirely male! A lot of the time there's only 1 other woman there, besides me. Adult gymnastics seems to be very popular with men, actually.

I did gymnastics when was little. Pretty much started as soon as I could walk and then I stopped when I was about 9 and level four. I really liked it, but I did it at a park district and my coach was mean, i felt like i wasnt getting anywhere. Anyway, I'm 18 now and I was just googling and decided to randomly look up adult gymnastics. Well, Im going to school n Chicago in the fall and there is a place about 10 minutes away from my schol that does adult gymnastics. I'm so excited. I cant wait!=)

Good for you! I love when adults try something new. I did gymnastics for many years & got back into the sport 3 years ago (I am almost 34)........13 years & 2 kids later. Keep up the work.........& keep inspiring others to get involved!

I'm sooo happy I found this video!!!! I'm actually about to leave for my first ever adult gymnastics class in 10 minutes and all day long I've been telling myself that I shouldn't go to the class because it will be embarrassing and I will be really bad. But you have officially convinced me that I should go to the class! Gymnastics is something I've always been interested in and there's no reason why I shouldn't go try it :] so thank you very much for posting this!!
