Hi, I'm Megan, and I'm Ciera and we're from The Cheernastics2
Megan: Welcome to TC Tuesday Ciera: Today's video is going to be signs you are an ex-gymnast
Megan: So if you used to do gymnastics and whether you quit or you retired because you just like were tired
Megan: You probably it might do some of the things that we're about to show you
Ciera: So let's go ahead and get started
Ciera: So, the very first thing is that you still retain a lot of your flexibility even if like
Ciera: You're like me and Megan and we're not the most flexible people especially not the most flexible gymnast
Ciera: But compared to like the average person
Ciera: We are pretty flexible yeah, so when we're stretching after like working out or just stretching because we feel like it
Ciera: We're kind of retaining a lot of our flexibility
Megan: Another thing that you might do if you're a retired gymnast is you might just want to do
Megan: A skill check every once in a while make sure you still got some of your skills
Ciera: I think this is especially true for me and Megan because I want to keep my back tuck for as long as possible
Megan: Yeah, back tucks are crucial. I just want to be able to have a one cool skill that I can do
Ciera: So be able to just like whip it up every once in a while, and make sure you still got it. It's really important
Megan: Well not my best, but still got it
Ciera: The next thing is you try to relive the Glory days by watching your old gymnastics routines
Ciera: Megan and I have so many routines on YouTube because we post them for you
Ciera: So just going back and like watching our old meets, especially the ones that we're really happy with
Ciera: It's just kind of like, aww Megan: Look what I used to be able to do that. I can't do anymore
Ciera: It's also kind of a relief because competing in gymnastics meets is really stressful
Ciera: And so like I don't have to do that again Megan: Like I can just look back at stuff
Megan: I know, I'm like happy with and be like
Megan: I did it so good and then like not have to stress about it
Ciera: But then again I can also tell that when I go watch like gymnastics meets this year like going to watch my teammates
Ciera: I'll be like I wish I was out with them. Megan: Yeah
Megan: Aw this is our last gymnastics meet ever Ciera: Aww
Ciera: So nice to relive the glory days
Ciera: I can't tell if I'm happy or sad that I never have to do gymnastics again. Megan: Yeah
Ciera: Loved it. Hated it. Megan: Especially beam
Ciera: We started on beam, so that was awesome
Megan: Another thing that you do if you're an ex-gymnast or retired gymnast is that you tend to have at proper form during
Megan: Completely unnecessary things so you might point your toes when you're watching TV
Megan: Pretty hands are literally like the only thing you do with your hands when you're working out, at least for me and Ciera
Megan: Like when you're working out Ciera: Me and Megan, when we're working out
Megan: We just do pretty hands Ciera: We literally use our hands like this
Ciera: Like I don't know how to have them relax Megan: Yeah
Ciera: Or like, I don't do this as much but when we first started working out consistently at the gym
Ciera: I'd always have like straight legs and pointed toes and at one point like one of the trainers
Ciera: At the gym was kinda like, do you guys do gymnastics or something?
Ciera: She was like, yeah I can tell and I was just like I don't know how else to have my body
Megan: Yeah, it's just engraved in your brain
Ciera: The next thing is that you still try to have cool handstand picks because handstands are one of those things you could probably do
Ciera: For pretty much forever after you're retired and so taking a cool handstand picture like in front of a place
Ciera: That looks really cool. It's just like look what I can still do like
Ciera: I still got my handstand but I'm also in a cool place
Megan: Plus, it's like the perfect picture idea for if you want a picture at a cool place but you don't want to have to look good yourself
Ciera: Hey! Could you take a picture of me doing a handstand on this rock?
Megan: Yeah
Ciera: If I can get up first
Megan: Alright, I think I got it Ciera: Thank you
Megan: Another thing is that you probably already have plans that you
Megan: Intend to sign your kids up for gymnastics when they're old enough to do it because you want to continue the tradition
Ciera: Like I'm saying - I'm not saying that they have to do gymnastics, but like they're gonna try it
Ciera: Like I won't make them keep it up, but they're trying and then they're gonna fall in love with it
Megan: Exactly, that's the master plan
Ciera: When I grow up, if I have a daughter, I am for sure signing her up for gymnastics
Megan: I think I am too
Megan: Like if I have a son like maybe I should send him up too
Ciera: Yeah, I've thought about that
Ciera: Well like, he could do gymnastics
Ciera: He could go to the Olympics
Megan: My daughter could do gymnastics
Megan: We could be like a gymnastics family Ciera: Yeah
Ciera: The next thing is that your gym friends are going to be your BFFs
Ciera: No matter what, so shout out to our gym friends because they might be watching
Ciera: I don't know, but you still keep in touch with them and like you're always like, we still have a group chat together
Ciera: And we're like always talking and like I'm still pretty much in tune with what's going on in gym
Megan: Yeah like if you join gymnastics and like especially if you get to like a competitive team like
Megan: You're going to like be friends with everyone especially like
Megan: Coaches, old teammates, teammates that are still like at the gym like
Ciera: I think one of the reasons for this is because like at a gymnastics gym like there's people from like
Ciera: Every age range and so like your friends look like younger people and older people
Ciera: And so like the older people kind of hook onto you and you like click onto your younger friends, and then like yeah
Ciera: You just stay attached to the gym that way
Ciera: So the girls at my gym are starting routines and they're getting their music picked out and stuff
Ciera: And I keep telling my friend that the music she picked out is not good, she needs to get music that's more her style
Megan: Do you still do gymnastics like I thought you retired Ciera: I did
Ciera: I just have to keep up with everything a gym like they're like my family like it's just
Ciera: Got to keep up with everything, you know?
Megan: I guess yeah
Megan: And the very last thing that you do if you're a retired gymnast is you watched gymnastics on TV, online, in person
Megan: Like we'll be going to gymnastics meets this year
Ciera: It's gonna keep me like into the sport
Ciera: But like I'm not the one doing it obviously, and to all of you saying that we could do college gymnastics, no
Ciera: No, but I will gladly watch it
Megan: Yeah, so it's just a way to keep in touch with the sport, I obviously like college gymnastics
Megan: I love watching it and you know we used to do gymnastics
Megan: So it make sense

Megan: Watching Scandal, finished Riverdale, at least like what's happened and yeah
Megan: I'm a TV show kind of person Ciera: We also really hope you guys enjoyed this video
Ciera: Because it kind of is like our old style like before we move to college obviously so if you guys like this video and you want us to
Ciera: Keep doing more like this there's pretty much like a park that we can film at and then our dorm
Ciera: That's about it Megan: So
Ciera: Comment videos that we can film either at a park or in our dorm
Ciera: Probably mostly like at the park if it's nice out, that's gonna be where we can do
Ciera: Some like tumbling videos and stuff
Megan: So basically, we just need you guys to comment video ideas that are actually like
Megan: Doable for us Ciera: Because we want to have the old style that our videos had we just like obviously are more limited onto like where
Ciera: We can film and like what we can film Megan: Yeah
