Skinnier, but not younger. Lol

I've lost 110 pounds in 10 months, so I thought I would try to do a "round off" that's similar to a cartwheel. I've been exercising a lot so I thought I could show my kids (ages 26, 23, and 20), who were all home visiting this weekend, how agile I am now. I'm a lot lighter, but I'm still 46 years old. Boy, did it hurt when I pulled my hamstring muscle trying to do the round off. My 20 year old had to carry me in the house. He's probably really glad I don't weigh 300 pounds anymore. Lol. As soon as I can, I'm going to start exercising again, but gymnastics are off-limits for this "old" woman. Ha ha!

I would say stretch more and that round off would be no problem. Warm up on a bike or treadmill for about 5 min and then stretch really good before every workout. It will improve your circulation and help prevent injuries like this.

As for a pulled hamstring please let it heal before you hit the gym too hard. Heating pads are great to help with this type of injury. You still want to stretch everyday during this time, but not as intense as you would during your workouts. Nice gentle stretches are usually recommended.
