Are you too old for Acrobatics/Gymnastics

When people ask me what I've been doing lately, one of the things I tell them is that I am starting a new class teaching adults how to do gymnastics. A common response to this is "Wow, really? Sounds fun but I think I'm too old for that kind of stuff."

They could not be further from the truth. For one, I believe that age is relative to how you live your life. Also, I think that if you have not yet had the opportunity to get a good gymnastics education, now is the time. I have personally worked with and taught gymnastics to 4 year-olds all the way to people who are well into their 30's, 40's and 50's. In fact, I work with them all the time. One young woman I'm thinking of practices gymnastics every day. She's 82 years old! Further, she didn't even start gymnastic training until she was in her 60's. Her workouts include basic gymnastics like push-ups, pull-ups, swings on bars, and handstands. Up until recently, she did a lot more like cartwheels and leaps, and she's always working on her splits.

The very word gym, is  often misused in the fitness industry and relates to a place where the activity of gymnastics is practiced. True gymnastics involves calisthenics utilizing body-weight strengthening exercises, stretching and movement skills. When was the last time you saw any real gymnastics down at Bally's or 24hr fitness? Can't recall? Well that's because if you do much more gymnastics than pull-ups or push-ups at one of these establishment, you will get a lot of weird stares in your direction. If you start doing jumps, handstands, or flips you may even get asked to stop. Sorry folks, the current big names in the fitness industry have got you fooled. Fancy machines that isolate muscle groups don't work as well as total body exercises. As I will show you in my Acrobatic Conditioning class, many of the very best exercises you can do to strengthen and tone your body require very little specialized equipment. That is what the major fitness clubs and fitness equipment manufacturers DON'T want you to know! Of course it's nice to have someone to show you the proper way to do these fantastic exercises. That's where I come in. I'll show you the way to get maximal results from very basic conditioning and flexibility exercises. Sign up now for a 6-week session.

I know enough stuff to keep you busy for years.
