My body is going to hate me tomorrow. When I texted  this to my best friends from college, Kristen (a once elite gymnast) and Rozz (a once backyard/self taught fearless tumbler/cheerleader), they had the same response - “OMG, where are you and what the hell are you doing?”.

This video is actually SUPER embarrassing but I’ve got to start somewhere, right? It’s certainly not the most flattering angle and the back handspring form is a disgrace…

BUT BUT BUT…

After 8 years of not doing them, I’d say I should give myself a little credit. I think I have a new series - “Monday Night Back Handsprings With Em”. You can catch me during a Bachelor commercial break or something.

I will improve…I promise! (I better! These classes aren’t cheap!)

Who wants to join me next week?

When: Monday nights from 7-8:30pm

Where: Chelsea Piers Field House

What: Adult Gymnastics - Beginner/Intermediate
