Finally someone who started gymnastics late! I stated at 11. I am now 12 and competing xcel silver which at my gym is level 4/5. I have a broken foot though currently and I'm worried I'm not going to move up 😣

[@ems.8021]

I just saw one of your videos from 6 years ago cause I’m trying to get a better straddle jump and omg u were so little and u and ur dad in the video were so cute

[@abbyplays7403]

I'm 12 and I'm level 4!

[@elsaathley2601]

Hi, I really want to start artistic gymnastics but I think I’m to old. I have done gymnastics my entire life but not artistic, just team gymnastics which is very different. I have never tried artistic and now I’m 15 and want to try it. Do you think it’s to late? What level do you think I can get to?🥰

[@elsaathley2601]

Erica’s Vyds I still have my back handspring and back tuck on trampoline and air track 🙂

[@LovesAlchemist]

My daughter is 12 and doing gymnastics for a while but her arms are not very strong. Today her teacher made her lift some very heavy weights to the point where the teacher had to my old the weights to help her lift! I was living because any good teacher should know les weights more reps versus heavy weights she can’t even lift and could pull a muscles. I had my daughter subscribe to your page so she can learn some of your techniques to get better

[@janielehman9645]

Love this ❤️

[@MoveWellwithMolly]

Thanks Janie!

[@selahschulz4888]

Any advice on how to get a back handspring? What made u get yours the easiest? I’ve been struggling to get mine on the ground. Thx!

[@cdramaidols1888]

Hiiiii

[@rondoflicflac]

💛💛💛💛

[@selahschulz4888]

I just had a question to ask you. You may be able to answer it but its okay if you can't. So pretty much I teach myself gymnastics and I have sooo much fun with it! I've learned all the beginner skills including my fronthandspring and my splits. I can also do bhs and ariels on the trampoline. Recently I've been thinking about joining gymnastics for like 2 months because its to expensive and I'm already 13. So I was just wondering what I'd maybe learn in only 8 classes? its kind of a random question but I really need to know before I take the class! thanks I love your channel!

[@Samigeo122]

I know I am not her, but I started gymnastics this year at 14 years old. I knew how to do a lot of floor things already, but learned a lot on beam. On beam I learned full turns, different jumps, cartwheel, handstand, and an aerial off of beam. Bars not so much cause I am really weak, but I got my back-up circle before quarantine started. Vault we didn't do often so I didn't do well on. These were classes once a week for an hour and half and only lasted about 5-6 months before we got stuck in quarantine. I am sure you can learn a lot in 2 months.

[@foreverinhandstand9456]

I would go for it!! I teach myself gymnastics too :) I think you'd learn a lot from the classes and it would be fun to get to try out all of the apparatus! You already have learned several skills and you'd learn even more/perfect your skills :)

[@-period.5196]

I just wanna know how old u were when you stopped doing gym❤️.

[@MoveWellwithMolly]

18!

[@-period.5196]

Ojh

[@jastackss]

First

[@parneetdhaliwal4438]

You got in level four in one year!!!.????

[@Samigeo122]

you started late? well I started this year at 14

[@MoveWellwithMolly]

Oh that’s cool! I just meant I started later than most gymnasts do, since a bunch of people start around age 3 or 4 in preschool gymnastics
