I Did an Olympic Gymnasts Training for a Week *INSANE*

[@pantheratigris00]

My husband convinced me to sign up for Brazilian jiu-jitsu with him for some exercise/competitive funsies. He said he would try whatever I wanted to do next (I promised him a 6 month commitment), so adult gymnastics might be in our future. The trampoline looks like so much fun!😂

[@Kaylee_eeee]

How do you feel about bjj?

[@circusbysilk]

Brazilian jiu jitsu is nicee!! Well I would say give circus or gymnastics a try yeah if you feel like it. ( Yess, Circus is also a sport (some ppl don't know). )

[@nefertitimontoya]

This sounds like a really fun relationship

[@circusbysilk]

@@nefertitimontoya yeass I think so too

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

I high recommend adult gymnastics or adult ballet. Both are exceptional workouts, super fun, and it’ll be brilliant husband payback.

[@luisemillerin207]

I need a coach like Dimitri in my life in general, constantly cheering, being proud of achievements and laughing with me about failures! 😂❤ That was such a fun watch, thanks!

"As a relatively fit person....im about to be humbled" -keltie "As a relatively average unfit person.... i updated my will and accept my fate"-me 😂

[@helengiesecke3177]

I love how this video demonstrated how being fit and sporty is so much more movements and skills than we usually do in the gym, running, etc. Would love to incorporate more of those skill based and functional movements in training

[@teagan0102]

I think this video reinforces the idea that we shouldn’t compare ourselves to others, I watch Kelties videos and think, I wish I were like her, lean, a good runner and good basketball player, However I can do all the gymnastics moves and more because that is my chosen sport, We all have our strengths and weaknesses 😀 😅

[@KeltieOConnor]

This is one of my fav comments! A true reminder to celebrate of all the different ways that make someone "athletic"!! I always look at the gymnasts with such envy and admiration! Got to celebrate what makes us all unique and special!

[@teagan0102]

@@KeltieOConnor agreed. And in the same breath, finding joy in movement and having the confidence to attempt something that interests you, you don’t need 10 years prior training to begin something new, just a willingness to try…tomorrow I’m off to my first springboard diving lesson and I’ve never been more excited

[@leilanisharpe9093]

What I love about this video is that she is clearly fit and likes movement, and still has boarded the struggle bus. It really drives home how skilled Olympic gymnasts are.

[@Melissa-ms5kq]

This was such a fun episode! I would love to do an adult beginners gymnastics class

[@KeltieOConnor]

So happy you enjoyed it!! I hope you get a chance to do a class one day!!

[@jaimeerindy4573]

I'm an elite level volleyball coach, and volleyball is the only sport I've ever played, so the most fascinating thing about this video for me is seeing how other sports coach the basic/introductory level! It's so cool to me to see the skills progression drills 🤩

[@vanessad5629]

Ouh, excited for this one! Gymnastics has always been my fav event to watch at the Olympics. Watching those girls is just so impressive!

[@KeltieOConnor]

Hope you enjoy!!! Those girls BLOW my mind!

I feel like Keltie just has a little sports bingo card and she’s just trying to get a bingo.

I signed up for adult swim lessons to learn to lane swim. Was a little self conscious at first but my inner child has been having a blast, movement really is PLAY

[@malinia.20]

I've been wondering if such a thing exists!! I haven't swam in the "correct" position since I was on the swim team at age 8, more than 20 years ago. And I'd really like to learn to lane swim!

[@leahlenau7522]

This reminded me of so many memories. I did gymnastics for a few years and have lost some of the skills. It's time to start incorporating the training in my regular routine.

[@KeltieOConnor]

Love that it could spark that nostalgia for you!! 🩵 Enjoy putting those skills back in your routine :)

[@lesliemartin1520]

I'm 42 and I take an adult gymnastics class. It is sooooo much fun!

[@k1tschd3m0n]

I'm excited to watch the rhythmic gymnastics! Would love to see you try that!

[@melissaclark6490]

Such a great video! The gymnastics is one of those sports at the Olympics that always amazing at how effortless they make the moves look on the beam or even hanging and flipping on the bars

[@dianevierra781]

I haven't been watching the olympics this year, but I do watch some women gymnasts on youtube who do some stunt challenges or parkour challenges. It's incredible to watch, it's like watching another kind of superhero training. They're awesome.

[@KeltieOConnor]

Superhero training sums it up perfectly!!

[@dianevierra781]

Yeah, and even though they've been training for years, they talk about how, with each new skill they learn, they still get nervous because it is a dangerous sport​ and you do have to be careful. But overcoming that fear is insanely rewarding and that's really inspiring to see.@@KeltieOConnor

[@torekatemme]

This was so fun to watch!! I’m a gymnastics coach in the US! You did amazing and the coaches were awesome!!

I love this! I was over here cheering when you got over that bar! 👏🏻🙌🏻

[@KeltieOConnor]

Thank you Mary!!!🩵

[@jaxpaxgames1385]

For the pull over on the bars, keep your hips close to the bar. Point toes towards where you want to go. Rotate with hips. Cartwheel. Hand hand foot food. Hand stands and cartwheels are easier if you keep your " lever" or body position straight. If the back leg kicks up stay in a straight line. Drop arms as leg comes up. It's one motion. Don't reach down .Reach out. Pivot turns are one motion from the hips. Pull up. Shoulders and hips pull into your turn. Feet just follow or guide. But it's all one motion. The back roll. Chin in. Push with both arms. Pull with your hips.

[@FrederikkeTherese]

As a crossfitter struggling with the all the gymnastics in the sport, this was extreeemely helpful for me to approach the skills anew - thaaaank you for the great work 🤩 Love from Copenhagen 🇩🇰

[@liisasivonen329]

You did soo good and thats crazy improvement in just two classes 😊🎉 i am ex gymnast and coach and coached some adult gymnastics too, thats so fun just good vibes and not taking things too seriously. Hope you keep up with your gymnastics training😊

[@kat5000]

I've been an exchange student to Alberta, some 25 years ago. I can not tell you How happy hearing the anthem still makes me!

[@marystestkitchen]

0:11 all the Olympic broadcasters should be paying you for that idea, Keltie!

[@ArchIVEDCinema]

I've been hearing people say that for years. Imo, it'd be a silly gimmick that would be irrelevant and distract from the actual competition going on. The point of watching elite athletes compete isn't just so we can say, "Wow, they're so much better than the average person!" But idk, that's just me.

[@IssieAndLife]

Maybe a happy compromise would be a TV series launched near the time of the olympics. They could make it either really obnoxious or fun by picking reality TV stars.

[@ArchIVEDCinema]

@IssieAndLife It wasn't necessarily all Olympians, but there was a show called Pros vs Joes in the mid-2000's or so where they had random people face off against professional athletes in athletic challenges and whichever of the random people did the best won a cash prize.

[@MrTinothemib]

Oh and sorry Keltie, no no you are by far fitter, more athletic than the average citizen, especially in North America and also in Sweden & Europe! So things look a little better for you, not embarrassing, ridiculous, terrible like for the normal average person! greetings from 🇨🇭🤗🤘🏼

[@KeltieOConnor]

Thank you 🥹 I’m so used to comparing myself to how fit I was playing college basketball that sometimes I lose sight of where I’m at now, appreciate that reminder!

I've been having the time of my life trying different things with my friends! keep up the good work sending love from Brazil ❤

[@aog9784]

Keltie you did soooo well!! You’re already so strong and I can tell your training helped. I did gymnastics until I was 16 and I loved it but I think the scariness and the frustration is a big part of it hahaha

[@amberbeatty6120]

Did gymnastics for years as a kid and this makes me want to go back and take classes again as an almost 30 year old ❤

[@sarahs55555]

Omg, thank you for encouraging us all to try some new sports, Keltie. Im also in my 20s and subconsciously thought I couldn't try anything new, bc its "too late" now. Kinda ridiculous, but I guess I was scared of being bad at something 😂 But tried brazilian jiu jitsu just recently and I've never done any martial art prior. Been a volleyball and gym girly all my live, but am doing bjj for a few months already now :D. I'm still so faaar from being good, but that isn't as important to me no more. I just have fun and seeing the little steps progress is so encouraging Thanks Keltie you're are such an inspiration❤

[@cr8685]

I loved this! It made me want to do a cartwheel! Maybe next you could try fencing??

[@scuzifly]

I know that this absolutely wasn't the point of the video, but Keltie THANK YOU SO MUCH, for doing a video where your internal organs are living their best life. I recently had to explain to a man that my bloating wasn't because I don't work out enough, but is just what a normal woman looks like when she's not specifically trying to have a man stomach. I wasn't even mad at him, because how would he know that even fit women have "bellies", when all models (fitness or otherwise), go on a restriction diet in the days leading up to a photoshoot. This video has made me feel like a normal person again, more than anything else you have done, specifically because it wasn't the point of the video. You are just living your best life, being joyful, curious, and fit. With all of your organs living their fully hydrated lives

[@julietteteodoro3929]

Love all your videos!!! Also, can you try bouldering and/or lead climbing next?? I was in awe watching climbing at the Olympics!!

[@megmeg-ip2cj]

Aww Dimitri was so sweet!

[@kayleighmanastyrski]

Keltie! I love your videos and your philosophy when it comes to movement! I'm a SK girl and had the opportunity to live in Van in November and did some fitness recommended in your videos! Have you tried rock climbing?! It's my new favorite thing to be bad at...for now! It's an amazing body and mind workout! It's so fun to make progress in body awareness, flexibility, body positioning, strength, different routes and holds everytime you get on the wall! (I prefer bouldering over belay)

this is a great idea for a video, but if you think you're "average fit", you need to look up what an average person's level of fitness actually is 😂 you're in the top 10-15% of the population for sure

[@Spydeberg7876]

Loved this❤I try to switch on my fun-mode when I’m doing yoga😅 I take those advanced classes on KZbin and just have fun 😅 also trying to get brave enough to use the strength section of the gym, currently just running on the treadmill, and I try to convince myself that this is just an adult playground 😅

I started gymnastics as an adult, but even having professional dance training (including some gymnastics) it was still so hard! I competed a few times in adult competitions and won some medals, which was amazing fun. It turned out I'm eligible for disability gymnastics so I'm getting back into it that way.

[@ecueto395]

Just a tip. Point your feet not just your toes. Pretty feet are pointed at the toes and the ankles!(: Ex ballet dancer (10 yrs) and ex gymnast (2 yrs) As an ex dancer that’s the one thing that irks me the most.. that and funky hands. Pretty hands and pretty feet make a world of difference to your lines!(:

[@fliegendesspagetthimonster3421]

I absolutely love your content. This really makes me happy. I feel like if I would do anything creative it would be something like this. You inspired me to try some new sports. I've played field hockey since I'm a kid and will continue it forever. But I took that sport really for granted and didn't really engage with any other sports. I have just started my running journey (on track since 2 months instead of my casual two weeks extensive running and 3 months nothing) to gain more endurance during a game. But it's the beginning of me realising that I love sports and always have. I just never felt the spark and it became a bit boring. I really want to try out other things, gain more flexibility and enjoy what I'm doing. I have never been a gym girl and always thought that's the only way to get stronger but it really isn't. Thank you for showing me that with the content you make bringing back the flame I had in me for sports.
