Question
I wanted to be part of gymnastics for a long time and mom says i need to lose wieght in order to join. But I thought that joining would help me lose some of the 199 pounds that i do have. what do i do?

Answer
Hi Catherine,

Your Mom is right this time. You need to be fit to do any form of gymnastics. Might I suggest you start with some simple daily exercise say a brisk 20 minute walk every day. If you don't like that you will hate the exercises they do all the time in gym.

Best wishes
Kevin
