I'm 12 years old
130 pounds
5'4'
I'm a fast runner. I always keep a smile on my face. I'm a hard worker, I want things to be right. I'm very respectful, I'm energized. I can do an cartwheel with one and two hands. An roundoff with one and two hands, and a split. I can aslo do a backbend and lift my left leg over my head. Oh, and walk on my hands. I'm very strong. I just wanna be a fantastic gymnast like Dominique dawes, or something, andextend my gymnast skills by attending. But when I asked yahoo if there was an age limit, people said that I have to be undeveloped, and under 5 feet. I'm like 130 pounds and is still developing. I feel like I don't have the right appearance of a gymnast. What do you think? :)

It doesn't matter what you look like if you want to do it go for it !!
have your mom sign you up..at most gyms you can have a trial class to see if you want to do it!! personally I love it I've done it for 7.5 years and compete!! if you end up loving it like me be prepared to do a lot of work i practice 3hours a day 3days a week doing what i do ends up costing money!! Make sure you feel comfortable with your coach and the people around you!!
Have Fun & Good Luck!!!

Find a gym. Sign up for the classes, and do what you can do. You'll learn a lot, and don't worry about your build. If you want to be fantastic, it's going to take time, but you are only 12, and can build alot of skill with determination. Gymnasts bodies are formed by the types of workouts, and how much they work out. You don't have to have that certain build to perform a lot of the skills, but you may pick up quickly, or find that you really like one aspect of gymnastics, such as the tumbling part. Anyways, sign up and see if you like it. Have as much fun as you can, and don't let anyyonne bring you down.

If you want to do gymnastics, then do it!! It's an awesome sport that is really challenging and soo much fun. Visit different gyms, if they say you can't join b/c your to old, find another gym. Your never to old to start gymnastics. I know people who started in high school.
Just go for it!!
