Good Shape
I am 27 in pretty good shape, Can I still learn to do basic gymnastics like back handsprings?
I am a college sophomore about to transfer to a larger university where I want to audition for the cheer squad. I know I have to be able to tumble at least a series of back handsprings and standing back tucks. I am 27, in pretty good shape, male, 5’7″ and muscular build but is it too late for me to start such training?
Well I do gymnastics now and sometimes I injure myself doing tricks. But before make sure you stretch really well all your leg, arm and stomach muscles. There is no reason why you can’t do it without the training. Sometimes you have to take things slow though I am just learning these at the moment and I am slowly progressing. If you no regular exercise and keep fit your muscles and body should be at it’s peak and highest point around recommend I would recomend you find a coach or someone to pad you first. Also you should try it on a fairly large trampoline or a mini tramp onto a crash mat. These are just some safety precautions.
Some stretches are:
Bring your right/left arm across your body and hold it in place.
Bring one leg in front of the other about shoulder width apart and let your first leg bend but keep your back leg straight.
Sit in straddle (legs in v shape) and attempt to reach your toes on both sides then stretch down the middle.
Clasp your hands together then bring up vertically above your head, then take them behind you on your back and stretch up.
I hope this information helps if you have any enqueries please don’t hesitate and email me.
I hope you get into the squad, goodluck!
Good Shape – Take my love

In Utero $2.82 Overwhelmed by sudden success, Nirvana promised to take a harsher, more abrasive route on their second major-label release. Enlisting Chicago-based noise maven Steve Albini (of Big Black fame), Kurt Cobain and company succeeded in producing a record that was violent, disillusioned, and deeply moving. Every song reads like a commentary on the cost of fame (“Serve the Servants”) and the unhealthy re… |
