Yep! I think when I was around 5 up to around 8 or 9. I really liked it! I also did it just for fun (alternative to taking ballet lessons lol).

I think I was 5. Wish my mom would have made us stick with it. It was fun but I was actually behind because most of the girls in my class started at age 2.
If I have a little girl one day she will do gymnastics and probably dance too! I'm going to try and keep my kids in a physical activity.

I wanted to, but my mom never let me. I did dance for a while, though.

Yes! I *loved* gymnastics and competed until I was in junior high . . . by that time, I had hit 5'7", and it was getting harder to throw the big tricks like my smaller more compact teammates! Also, I managed to escape before I suffered too many injuries . . . a lot of my friends weren't so lucky. I think it will be great for LO - I can't wait for her to start!

I did. I think I was around 4 when I started, and I only did it for 2 or 3 years. I'm glad I did though! All these years later I'm really flexible and I've always thought it was because I did gymnastics and ballet when I was a kid.

Yes! 2nd or 3rd grade. So, 7 or 8. Then they told me I was way too tall in the 4th grade. I wish my parents had kept me in it for fun ahyhow, I was great on the bars! I tapped out at 5"4 anyways lol!

Ooh! That'll be so much fun for E!
I participated every time gymnastics was on tv, and the summer Olympics were the best! By participate I really mean that I tumbled and jumped around on my parent's bed.

I did, and it was a big part of my childhood. I started a dance and gym combo class at 3 and specialized in gym starting at 5. I trained three days a week and had competitions on the weekends. I loved it! I'd love for DD to participate when she's older, but I also want her to be able to develop her own passions if it's not her thing.
