This is the strength & flexibility that comes from gymnastics - possibly the toughest sport ever, you dont run into other people, you hit the floor flat out from 3m up, or you hit a vault horse head-on if you get a step wrong, you dont have to build muscle, you have build em up and break them down by stretching to build em up and break them down all over again, you dont need stamina, you need ultimate stamina to condition the deepest aspect of every sinew and fibre, you dont get grazes from grass, you lose chunks of skin to glass fibre bars and get bruises from falling on RSJs. I dont know any other sport or martial art discipline that takes its students through this - but then I dont know any other athlete that has the strength and all over body capability gymnasts develop. Its not MotoGP, but I think Im a fan, just wish I was 20years younger so I could do it myself. (Thats my excuse and Im sticking to it).
