If you need a few reasons to take the leap, read the article quoted below for 8 Reasons Why You Should Do Gymnastics as an Adult.
- IT WILL GET YOU CRAZY STRONG
You might not have guessed it, but gymnasts are the strongest, pound for pound, of all the Olympic athletes. Holding yourself upside down for long periods of time, flipping through the air, using rings and bars and all the other amazing stuff involved in gymnastics will get you seriously strong. Gymnasts have a level of strength that most normal people would consider near superhuman strength—but even training in gymnastics as an amateur will get you upper body strength, core strength and power like no other workout can do.
- YOU’LL IMPRESS YOUR FRIENDS
Just think of how many cool party tricks you’ll be able to pull This probably isn’t a good reason to do gymnastics if you have no other interest in it (ok, it’s a really bad reason), but even doing a backflip, a freestanding handstand push up or a cartwheel into a handstand forward roll will get you a “wow” response from your friends every time off!
- YOU’LL INCREASE YOUR FLEXIBILITY TENFOLD.
Or twentyfold. Or whatever. The point is, I don’t care how inflexible you currently are—training in gymnastics will make you a more flexible person. Working on backbends and pikes require more flexibility than the average workout. And yes, you may even be able to do the splits one day.
- YOU’LL BECOME MORE COORDINATED
If you’ve ever thought you were an uncoordinated human being, I can certainly relate. As I mentioned above, I am the opposite of graceful, and more and more understand why my brother’s nickname for me used to be “spaghetti arms:” I’m just not very coordinated. Taking part in gymnastics, however, will increase your coordination by helping you gain more control over your body. I’ve noticed I’ve become more coordinated and less “floppy” after only six classes, so you can get there too.
- IT WILL HELP YOU OVERCOME FEAR
That first time you go to do a handstand into a roll, or a backbend all the way to the floor, or a backflip, front flip, or even a cartwheel, there’s no way around it—it’s going to be terrifying. Even if there’s an experienced teacher nearby, unless you’re crazy and completely devoid of fear, you’re going to be nervous, even scared. But when you do it—when you actually do what you’d previously thought to be impossible—it opens up a whole new world. Not only does it make you become less fearful and more confident in athletics, it can also translate to other areas of your life, even positively impaction your career, your relationships, and your dreams.
- YOU’LL LEARN TO FALL
Have you ever seen someone fall gracefully—whether in sports, life, or a movie—and wonder how they didn’t get hurt? The secret is that they’ve practiced falling—many times. In gymnastics, you’ll fall over and over, and you’ll start to realize there’s an art to falling without hurting yourself. As a bonus, gymnastics’ will boost your balance, and both skills will help keep you from falling and shattering your hip bone when you’re older.
- YOU’LL LEARN TO LAUGH AT YOURSELF
There’s nothing better than making mistakes over and over to make you get over being good at everything and just learn to laugh when you screw up. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve fallen, done something completely wrong, or failed time and time again to get something right while learning gymnastics. Sure, it’s frustrating at times, but if I didn’t learn early on to laugh at myself when I messed up, I’d have quit after the first lesson. And in case you hadn’t guessed, this can also be a valuable lesson that can assist you in the rest of life as well.
- IT BRINGS OUT YOUR INNER KID
What’s more kid-like than bounding around, jumping, flipping and swinging from things? Yeah, I can’t name anything either. No matter your age, gymnastics will bring you back to the days when childlike wonder filled every moment. And what could be better than that?
