Question Posted by 3LL3 :

I need strength! I'm 110 pounds & 5'5 but...?

I seriously can't do a single push-up. I'm starting gymnastics & that will help but what are some more ways I can gain strength? I'm only 12 years old so I can't go to a gym or anything :D

X0X0,

3LL3! :D

Wow, starting gymnastics! That's wonderful.
Don't fret about the single pushup for now.Do the knee pushup, then progress to full pushup.

There are an infinite variety of pushups, so go to YouTube and practice all the different styles eg elevated, diamond, knuckle, spiderman etc.

For gymnatics you will be really training your core, so that calls for planks and side planks, and again the different varieties.
Do chinups or pullups to balance the pushups. Go to handstands and cartwheels.

Actually yoga poses are fantastic for muscular strength and control.
Swimming also builds up ur strength especially crawls.
Sleep well, drink plenty of water and eat healthily ie no junk!
