Most say a beginners tumbling class is equal to Level 1-2 in gymnastics. All teaching methods are different, so it isn't possible to accurately dial in the differences in tumbling and gymnastic levels.
yes the floor excersise involves lots of tumbling. If you have never done gymnastics before I would recommend doing a recreational gymmnastics class and taking tumbling in addition to that if you can. But if you can't, rec gymnastics would be the best choice because you will learn new skills on all the events. Plus, you will get lots of tumbling practice in the class, too. Good luck!
No it is never too late to start gymnastics you can always take a tumbling class or something.
To ensure safety, the best thing is to enroll in a gymnastics or tumbling class. Gymnastics is a sport that is very easy to injure yourself in so take proper precautions and train from a professional instructor.
I would recommend for a high school gymnastics class: gymnist balls, jump ropes, hula hoops, balance beam, and a standard tumbling mat (standard, 4x6 should do).
First, You'll want to sign up for tumbling classes at a local cheer, tumbling, or gymnastics gym. These usually have different class levels that increase in difficulty. Clearly, You'll want to start off at beginner, So you don't harm yourself. They will teach you how to do different cheerleading gymnastic skills. Good luck! -H
If you are joining a gymnastics tumbling class then you should wear a shortsleeve leotard (found online at ten.o.com). Many people wear velvet shorts over their leotards. If you are tumbling for cheerleading then you should wear a t-shirt with shorts and clean sneakers. Always wear your hair in a pony tail.
well both are needed but if the cheer squad you are going to is like mines then you are better going to tumbling class as you are more likely to get in if you have tumbling experience :)

That is a very good question. Gymnastics can hurt your back, wrist, or neck, but it is good exercise. I take gymnastics and have never severely hurt myself. If you know what you are doing it should be fine. If you don't know how to do a kart-wheel not so much. If you classify yourself as an amature you should start in a lower class before doing anything that could hurt you. Let the instructer teach you before you try something you are not sure you can do. After you are confident and are sure you can do a trick, then you should be able to do anything in the world.
