A question to anybody who has taken up gymnastics?

[Jsenteris]

With all the pounding you put your feet through, (either during training, practice, or competing) do your feet become more or less ticklish?

I made it to the regionals for the Olympics in high school but that was a billion years ago (I'll be 40 in a couple years.) If memory serves, they were way tougher than they are now...I remember walking on the asphalt along Venice Beach as a teen, I stepped on a burning cigarette and barely felt it, I remember jumping a bit and my girlfriend saying jokingly "Hop to it!"

These days, I can't even walk to the end of the driveway barefoot without feeling a little discomfort. I think pedicures and going barefoot ONLY when off work (I generally work 12 hours days~including commute~mostly in high heels and nylons) so getting out of them at the end of a long day is nice.

Just my experience 🙂 I dunno if this helped at all...
XOXO

steph,

That's good to know. 🙂 You've must've been a really good gymnast. I have a 9-year-old niece who's really into cheerleading, which, of course, involves some gymnastics. I think she's going to be too big a gal to be a top gymnast, though.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being almost untouchably ticklish, how ticklish are your soles? 🙂

Having been a gymnast in college to a degree, and being around the gymnastics team and all the cheerleaders which do alot of gymnastics as well. Id have to say that even though they were bare foot often, they still seemed to have ticklish feet. How would i know? Well lets just say i found out first hand when ever the chance arose, and i got chances quite often. Answer your question?

I dated a girl who was a collegiate gymnast about two years after she got out of college and she had very pretty, soft and ticklish feet. I do not know what they were like when she was competing regularly.

Mmmmmmmmm...Greg, they're about a 90! 😀

And Sean, the unevens was actually my event. My coach begged me to compete on the beam (which I loathed) because they were short a competitor. While I appreciated her confidence, my career ended with a cracked pelvis (after a a back flip) that rocked a silent auditorium. I didn't have the heart to try again....🙁
XOXO

My oldest sister took gymnastics lessons, as did a couple of her friends. All three girls were extremely ticklish on their feet...and I could tell no difference while they were involved with the gymnastics training.
