It's never to late. I'm 12 and in level 4/5 I didn't get onto the team until I was 11 and I started at 7. There is a 14 year old gymnast with barely any experience in level 3. I hope this helps.

i did gymnastics for 13 years and it taught me a lot! It taught me to never give up on something your passionate about. Even when your frustrated and think that there's no hope, you have to pick yourself up and keep saying "i can do this!". It also taught me that you're not going to be good at everything you do, some things are going to take time and you're going to have to work at it.

It's like a cartwheel, but you land facing the way you came from, with both feet together.

The maximum score for the uneven bars in women's artistic gymnastics is 10.0, which has been the traditional scoring limit. However, since the implementation of the Code of Points, scores can exceed 10.0 based on the difficulty value of the routine and execution. Judges evaluate both the difficulty (D score) and execution (E score), allowing for a total score that can surpass 10.0. In the current scoring system, gymnasts may achieve scores in the range of 13.0 to 16.0, depending on their performance.

Before attempting a back walkover, a student must be able to support her body weight on her arms in a handstand. Next the student must practice a backbend or bridge, pushing up from the floor with the arms and legs straight and the body arched with the feet and hands as close together as possible. Many children attempt this on their lawns along with cartwheels and round-offs as part of natural child-play.

Next, the build the necessary shoulder and back flexibility, the student places her feet on a raised surface while in a bridge position. The higher the surface the easier the next step will be. By stretching the shoulders over the hands and kicking one leg up and over while pushing from the other leg, performing what is known as a kickover. This skill needs to be practiced daily to build up enough strength and flexibility in the back and shoulders. (Believe it or not, the shoulders actually need to arch more than most people realize in order for the gymnast to kick over to their feet.)

The next step should be learned and practiced while still practicing eac of the previous steps. (The shoulders and arms must be strong and the body flexible to safely perform a walkover.) From standing, and with a spot to support the body, the student stands with the arms overhead and the feet about a shoulder width apart. At the same time the arms are reaching back, the hips must extend forward keeping the body weight balanced over the toes as long as possible. Slowly the student arched the hips forward while reaching back and to finish in a bridge or backbend position.

When the student can perform each of the previous steps, especially a backbend from a standing position, the next step is the start with one leg raised off the ground and execute a backbend while pushing the hips forward over the toes, once the hands reach the ground (preferabl a soft mat) she lifts the free leg in the direction of the backbend while stretching the shoulders iand pushing the hips open using the other leg, and in the same way as the backbend kickover drill. As the legs pass through a handstand position they remain apart (similar to a cartwheel) and the gymnast steps down on the leg that initiated the kick and steps backwards with the rear leg into a lunge position with the arms up.

In competition a gymnast is scored on how straight the legs and arms are kept throughout the walkover and how well she points her toes. A gymnast is expected to show a full split as the body passes through the handstand phase and steps down into the lunge position.

Maintaining good balance is the best way to make sure the gymnast doesn't take any unnecessary steps (on the hands or feet). The closer the body resembles a capital "T" during the handstand in a walkover the better the scores will reflect that level of skill.

There are many variations of this skill and combinations with other skills. Women use the walkover as a basic to intermediate Jr. Olympic skill while men usually use back walkovers as a training tool to increase their flexibility, balance and awareness.

Rhythmic Gymnasts, Cheerleaders and athletes such as Aerobics athletes use the walkover during the routines to demonstrate superior strength, balance and coordination.

It is also just a lot of fun to do once you can do it safely.

BE VERY CAREFUL!!!

Or an easier way to explain this even though all this is very helpful. You need to make sure you are stretched enough so you dont accidentally hurt your self. So you will need t stretch. After stretches you will be standing by now I hope. Arch your back very carefully all the way back as far as you can go until your hands are touching the ground. your hands and feet should be on the ground now and it should look like you are in well a bridge. You should practice this a few times so you dont hurt your self. After this position dont move your feet after you land in the bridge. you might need to kick your leg up a couple of time so you know you have enough strength. Soon you should be able to just kick over and you will have a back walk over.

To keep the game fair and to keep a balanced competition through the game and To make it enjoyable but consequencial

Because you're not doing them properly.

The best way to get into a full split is to first straighten both legs, then concentrate on lowering yourself and stretching. A lot of dancers worry about their height and then work on straightening their legs, which makes it harder to progress and do the splits properly.

In gymnastics, "sticking the landing" is when a gymnast lands a vault, dismount, or tumbling pass without moving his or her feet. Any step or hop is a deduction, except in women's floor exercise. In that event, women can take a single step back into a lunge without getting a deduction. Stuck landings are very difficult, even for professional gymnasts; therefore, they are very exciting to see.

No way. You can start gymnastics at any age. Some people start when they are 4 and others start when they are 12 but you can start any age inbetween. ---- What Gymnastics sport are you asking about? There are in some countries 6 or more different Gymnastic Sports. In the US there is 6 The one that has the oldest gymnast participating in it is Group Gymnastics. There has been athletes in their 80's. Acrobatic Gymnast can get into their 30's at the international elite level and so does Gymnast who concentrate in Tumble and Trampoline.

Back handsprings can come within 6 days for some people and 6 years for others. The easiest way to learn how to do one is with these 3 things: coach, safety mats, and knowledge. You need the coach or instructor for guidance and support, the mats so you don't get injured, and knowledge so you are educated on form and instruction. Do not try it all alone for your first time without any spotters or protection. As long as you are ready to try it, follow these steps:

1. Breathe and relax. If you tense up or panic, it will make things worse. Just do it.

2. Get in stretchy exercise apparel or even a gymnastics leotard.

3. Start with your arms by your ears and your rib cage pulled up as far as you can go. Make sure you have at least 7 feet behind you where you are performing the skill.

4. Swing your arms back behind you while bending your knees and back straight up. If you took a quick picture the second you did that, it would look like you are sitting in an invisible chair with your arms back. You shouldn't be leaning forward, nor backward. You should be capable of holding this position for 1-2 seconds.

5. Swing your arms up super hard. This will do most of the handspring for you. As your arms rise, jump off your two feet with as much power as you have in your body. This is the key to a perfect back handspring. Try to aim for length and not height, but you have to be in the air enough to not hit the ground.

6. There usually is a split second where neither your hands or your feet are on the ground. But once you take off from your feet, your first intention is to look for and feel for the ground with your hands. Once you do, push through your shoulders to keep yourself sturdy and get your body over.

7. Now again you will have neither your hands or feet on the ground for even a millisecond. You have to remember to get your hands straight up, and try to get them up before you land on your feet.

8. Stick it! You just did a back handspring! Once you overcome fears, your next objection is to perfect it. Try pointing your toes and keeping your legs straight and keeping your head in. If you're in gymnastics, start adding things like Round offs or back tucks or layouts! Have fun with your Back Handspring and be safe!

To answer your question, there is more than one routine for level 3 gymnastics in Aus.

For starters, there is 3A, 3B and 3C routines for all apparatus.

And there are four apparatus - floor, beam, bars and vault.

(And with these I have assumed you are talking about WAG, Women's Artistic Gymnastics). Sorry for not being able to help.

I have a friend and I think she is in leval 8 and I think the trick to know is like a round off back hand spring tripple back flip>

hi everyone, A human that does gymnastics is called a gymnast.

Form of acrobatics and gymnastics

I could not tell specifically a game as a women game as in present world, in all games and in all fields women are participating in equal number to men. so, i could not mention a game specifically as a women's game.

You have to be 18 years old to join Gold's Gym. Some locations allow minors if they are accompanied by an adult.

Well, that is really just grace and showing what you can do!

Male gymnasts are required to wear shorts on the vault and floor, while wearing long slacks on all other apparatus. Female gymnasts however are required to wear only their competition leotards throughout all routines. In training or non-competitive gymnastics, the dress code is not usually all that strict.

You need to take at least one year of college to play in the NBA, but after that one year, the player decides how long they want to stay in college.

it doesn't take any really some people are drafted straight out of high school but it is RARE most that go into the NBA are collage graduates and have a second plan witch is recommended for any sports players because a lot of times something happens and it ruins your sports carrier

well many things if gymnastics is started by a child at a young age and is practiced till the late or early teens it can be very grueling on the body and cause many spinal problems because all that is happening is all the stress on the spine that gymnastics puts on the body is happening at the developing stage so really it is super hard on the body and has the 2nd highest total injuries in a sport. Physical therapists also say that a girl who starts gymnastics at 4 by the time she hits 14 or 15 she will have the bone structure and strength of a 70 year old.
