An awesome activity for girls

We can burn off excess energy, push our limits, sweat as much as we need . . without the negativity and patronising comments we normally get when we exercise in public. Gymnastics is a brilliant sport for any active girl or young woman 👍🤸‍♀️

It is but it's a shame after a certain age young women stop participating. The rest of life gets in the way it seems.

@carolinehugz And cultural expectations as well, I think. There is no reason why women can't continue to participate. Gymnastics is not all about being competitive, it is about using your body in ways that are physically challenging and also aesthetic. I hope I continue to do gymnastics for many years if my body is up to it 🙂

@SW-User My daughter were more dance orientated than gymnastics but it's sad if your are professional young women leave it behind something that was so important to them in life.

@carolinehugz I want to be a PE teacher, so at least I will have an excuse to keep up my interest 🙂

@carolinehugz Yep 🙂 I'm doing some coaching until school term finished and I'll be working in a gym over the holidays 🤸‍♀️

@SW-User You sound like you have already got a big part of you're life sorted out already. ☺️
