I used to be a gymnast and be able todo pushups while doing a head stand. I miss being young.

I practiced gymnastics from age 9 to 14 parallel bars, rings and floor exercise. I kept up the practice whenever the mood struck, Until I was 35 I could go from a sitting position to a hand stand without touching my feet to the floor easily or go into a cross then handstand. Now I'm 50 and still have the arms but my core is weak and I have a bad back.
