How do you teach yourself gymnastics?

Answer 1

In my opinion.. you cant make yourself an olympic athlete by teaching yourself.. but you can definetly teach yourself the basics! I did it! I have a trampoline.. so i taught myself how to do flips and arials and stuff on that. Then.. i started using grass! I just starting flying all over the place.. doing a bunch of things! I can do back tucks, layouts, arials, handsprings, stuff like that! Im still not a gymnast.. but i do dance and my gymnastics deffinetly helps ! I am fearless.. so as long as your not afraid and are willing to takes some bumps and scrapes along the way, you can for sure do it ! :)

Gymnastics is a great sport -- for both boys and girls. Alone, by yourself, you can work on flexibility and strength. To learn any gymnastics tricks, however, you need a coach. They are found at gymnastics centers and some YMCAs (in the US). Gymnastics is a sport that you must learn the fundamentals, slowly and properly. Otherwise, you will just get injured. If learned the right way, from a trained coach, it's a sport like no other!

Take a class from an instructor who has the proper equipment and knows what he or she is doing.
