Hi there...yes I can still do a cartwheel at my age now but need to do some stretching first. Last time schooldays I can just cart wheel instantly but now have to stretch first. Handstand and split still can do. This is something I must keep up because I love gymnastics

Cool! I've been stretching my legs as wide as i can but i still can't do split lol! I used to be in Thai Boxing but it's a shame on my part because i can't do splits! I'm a disgrace to Jean Claude Van Damme. Keep it up! Who knows, we might see you in the Olympics!

I don't know if i still can... but i was good at doing cartwheels when i was a teenager and younger... but during that time... we would always go to the park and play... but nowadays... we don't hang out at the park anymore... but spend a lot of our free time in the mall... and it is very embarrassing to do the cartwheel there...
When I was little I could and even in my 30's not in my fortys my hips would fly off in different directions.
Have a good day. YOur friend onlydia

Well, I'll admit it's not as graceful as it once was, but yes, I can actually still do a cart wheel, though I choose not to, due to I might break my neck now. My son, is now trying to do them as it must be something he sees the other kids at school do, and he can't yet, and I won't show him how for the sake of keeping what bones I haven't broke, in full contact.

The last time I tried I pulled a muscle in my groin. THAT was NOT a fun time, let me tell you. I have not tried it since. Neither do I intend to repeat that mistake.

well now, that all depends on how you expect to stretch the groin muscles, nudge nudge wink wink, now doesn't it?

I have an amazing and uncanny ability to do just about anything. A cartwheel is one of those things. =D

Honestly, now seriously... I could probably do it. I'll make a video of me doing it and I'll post it on youtube!! *rushes to make the video*

I can! I used to study gymnastics when I was younger, and cartwheel has got to be the easiest move along with the handstand. I can do them both. I used to be able to do a lot more, however I have lost some of the flexibility I had, so it's scary now to attempt them!

I never was able to do a cartwheel. It could be my body type, or I just didn't have the coordination. I'm a little too front heavy to make it work.

Well, I can still do it until now. I have worked with the rescue unit for quite a long time. Now I am working with our swat unit. So physically, I am very much active and can still do a lot of heavy physical activities. There is really a difference when you do not move a lot and stay inactive. Best to you!

I can still do cartwheels... not that I do them very often... haha. I took gymnastics when I was young and I also used to take dance classes so I learned a lot of that stuff early. I was never able to do a backflip or anything fancy like that... but the simple things I could do (and still do).
XOXO
