Every Wednesday I take my 5 year old daughter to gymnastics and
enjoy watching not only her train, but the older kids as well, as their strength, flexibility, grace and motor skills are a beautiful thing to watch in motion.

I think everybody would benefit greatly from practicing tumbling and gymnastics, no matter what age they are, as gymnastics teaches you more control over your body than any other type of training.

A good place to start is to purchase a set of Rings (ringtraining.com),
hang them from a VERY sturdy place and start playing around on them.

You can do pullups, dips, pushups, muscle-ups, L-holds, ceiling kickers and inversions, just to name a few exercises, and apples to apples, you’ll get more from 10 minutes of work on these suckers than an hour of “normal” exercising.

I include lots of ring training in my programs with my clients, and not only does it make the workouts more diverse and interesting, the physical payoffs are huge.
