I am 15 and i want to start a whole new and unique sport. I swam for 10 years but i am not flexible. I cant even touch my toes. i don’t want to do a regular sport like tennis, softball, basketball, soccer, or volleyball. I would love to do something like gymnastics or rhythmic gymnastics. i really love watching rhythmic gymnastics and i think it is a really beautiful sport. But i am afraid that i am too old and not the right body type: not flexible, short, but 115 pounds. im not skinny but i only weigh 115 pounds but i would like to start a sport that is good for me physically and mentally. I would like to become more flexible and i would like to be able to have nice physique. oh, and i don’t have the best posture either. But i REALLY want to try out something new.
Fencing is great for posture, it also really improves your reflexes and endurance
It has actually been proven to make you a better problem solver too

well… as you can tell by my netname… i love to dance!!! it is a veryy unique sport and can be very beautiful!!! it is so fun and helps with posture and flexibility!!! it doesnt matter what body type you have… but most dancers get in shape really fast, because you have to be very strong. and there are a bunch of different types like jazz, ballet/pointe, hip hop, etc… hope this helps!!!

You could do baton twirling. It’s unique and it can definitely help with flexibility when I started 3 years ago I couldn’t touch my toes now I am doing features like splits leaps and leg holds. It will help with posture vecause that helps you get points i competition a lot of coaches stress over that. We aren’t allowed to do gymnastics in competition but we do lots of jumps spins and illusions.
