Since reclaiming my health I get to do so many fantastic physical things that make me so happy.
Paddle boarding is my new found passion....love it!!!
Then, recently I started doing Silks
And I also get to teach gymnastics to adults 3 times a week. Gymnastics has always been something I LOOOOOOVED. I was a gymnast for most of my childhood until college. ( If you are local to Baltimore and want to take my class it is Monday nights from 6pm - 7:30pm at Urban Evolution ) It is for anyone who used to do gymnastics and wants to relive the fun - and for those who always wanted to give it a try and never had the chance.
Soooo to that end - the point of my post, I am almost 46. No matter how much I love gymnastics, there is only so much that is smart to do with my body. As I retrain, I am getting stronger, so I will be able to reclaim much of what I used to do, but the super bendy spine stuff is not a good idea to do tons of when getting back into it.
I decided in the realm of things I can still do easily....handstands, cartwheels, basic rolls, balances and a couple of flips I am going to work on control and strength, and as such, part of my blog is going to be to track my progress with things I want to learn....some are short term easier goals, and some are long term - at least a year away :)
Here is my list...
Hold a handstand for a minute or longer
Sloooooow controlled handstands and cartwheels
Planche stand
What I am curious about is this....
Can a 46 year old woman learn to do these things?
Stay tuned!! I am going to document my progress right here weekly. :)
