I Trained as an Olympic Gymnast for 2 Years *How My Body Changed*

- Опубліковано 5 сер 2021
- Thank you everyone for the support during these 2 years. Training as an olympic gymnast has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl. It was hard, humbling, but opened my eyes to so many different forms of fitness. You've seen my stretching like an olympic gymnast, training like Simone bile, attempting handstands time and time again in videos. Here's my journey to improving flexibility, core & glute strength, learning handstands and developing a new way to move. Enjoy

About Me:
Hi I’m Keltie a former college basketball player turned UA-camr.
Vlogging as I attempt different fitness challenges, ways to move your body, while I travel the world (little pause on that part hahah). Whether it's running a marathon, sweating it out in a heart bumping spin class, attempting a handstand, debunking a workout myth, swimming in the ocean, or stretching in the sun. New project involving your perfect workout playlist coming soon too :) Stay for BTS of that
My little passion project has been putting together some awesome workout playlists for you guys to enjoy! Follow them & me on spotify and I will keep updating them so you always have awesome music to workout to 🙂:

I cannot believe you've already been doing this for two years. I remember when you first started, jeez time goes by fastttt
RIGHT?! These 2 years seem like a blink in so many ways
This is amazing! Props to you for sticking with this challenge - it takes a lot of discipline. Super motivating to see your menta, physical, and emotional progress and growth over the years
Thank you so much Lea 🧡☀️
YES YES YES!! So excited to watch this. Let's all say it together: "We love you Keltie!!"
IM CRYING!!!! I love YOU Lora!!!🧡☀️
YES, we do love Keltie!! ❤️
so, so much love. keltie is the REAL. DEAL.
As a gymnast I'm really impressed by your progress and your dedication to this challenge! A lot of people would not have stuck with it for as long as you did, especially with all of the lockdowns and other roadblocks that were completely out of your hands, I hope you're as proud of yourself as I am of you!
Wow, I really did start crying when she got up on her hand stand and showed her splits. So proud of you girl! 💗 I remember during quarantine, watching your videos when you were struggling and it really broke my heart. You are such a beautiful and strong woman and I’m so glad to see that you’re doing so much better and achieving your goals and inspiring others to do the same. 🤗💕 love ya girly!!
I loved watching your journey over the past 2 years in this video and loved how open and honest you were about your struggles during covid. Love you Keltie can't wait to see more from you!
I think it's easy to "underestimate" artistic gymnastic, but it's impossible to not find greatness in your ability to stick to your challenge through thick and thin! And you couldn't share a much needed life lesson for both newbies in the fitness world and veterans that feels like trying something new or like they had hit a plateau 🤍
Thank you so much Miriam!! We all need that reminder sometimes that if it’s looks easy, it probably isn’t. Will take many ups and downs along the way
I’m a tumbling coach in my hometown! So Tumbling and gymnastics is really hard to learn it once you have a grown-up body so the fact that you were even able to learn what you have in such a short amount of time is absolutely amazing!! We also train all our male athletes that rolls and bridges handstands splits are so important for anyone who like to do sports!
(This is coming from a girl who learned to tumble at age 16… and learned is three months to do standing back handsprings and running backhand-springs… most mentally and physically hard thing I’ve ever done!)
Thank you so much!!! It’s so eye opening starting this in my late 20s, but was such a fun experience!!! Thank you for the encouragement Melany 🧡🧡
@@KeltieOConnor of course! I love watching because you keep me motivated! Also for your spider crawls (bridge walk outs) work on hips up and arms to ears and they’ll be 10000x’s easier! Your hips and arms help with the momentum for a stand up🤍😂
It is hard later in life because you get more afraid
Yay, she's back!! I absolutely love these kinds of videos!! You're such an inspiration Keltie!!
Thank you Wren!!!!! I feel back and better than ever!!
Time to start dropping into the splits in random places 😉🤸♀️
It's so heartwarming to see your progression over the past few years and I'm excited to continue supporting and growing with you! Big love ❤️
You know that was the party trick I was hoping for Lu 😉
Thank you for supporting me during all the ups & downs. So excited for the adventures we will be in together in the future 😍
So happy for you - when I get down on myself, you provided me with the positivity to move past my negativity. Also I have always learned more in my “failures” then when things are going great. It sucks to go through it but I’m always better for it. 😁💕💗
This was perfect and just what I needed. Your an inspiration. I'm a dance major and after not being super active for the last year, I just want to work super hard to get my strength and grace back:)
Good luck with getting back to it Rachel!! Muscle memory is an amazing thing, and you’ll have that power & flow back in no time 🧡
I love what you said about the foundation taking time! I spent years after difficult pregnancies getting back into shape. I cried with happiness when I finally ran a mile. I now knock out ultra marathons for fun. Took me time, lots of it, but building a foundation again got me where I want to be today
“Things don’t happen overnight”
YES!!! Not talked about or shown enough in the fitness world in my opinion. Thank you for showing that
KELTIE - this made me cry!
i have been feeling so lost in my fitness journey the last few months - im still fairly new in the world of fitness, starting in 2021. But at that time i was doing it for someone else, and then i felt lost, and unmotivated. ive been watching you for the last week or so - and ive gone to the gym the last 2 days. You showed me a whole different world to fitness and health and i cannot thank you enough. Thank you for showing me i can reignite my own fire. ❤
I’m so glad you did choose to release this still! It’s more than the big skills that are important. Confidence is HUGE and I think we all need to be reminded of this. This gave me the motivation to continue my own fitness journey (I am not an athlete at all!!) I may not be seeing immediate results but I’m still continuing the work bc yes it takes time and like you said, you need to build a foundation. Thanks for the reminders!
This is so cool!! I'm so proud of you! As someone who has wanted to get their splits and hold handstands for years, this is so incredibly encouraging. Thank you :)
It makes me tear up bc I’m so excited and happy for you! I love getting to watch you finding yourself and growing as a person, you are such an inspiration ❤️
This is insane🔥🔥 your dedication, the editing! I'm obsessed
Thank you for posting video's like this. You are the reason I keep pushing even when I want to give up. Seeing you try even when your not feeling it, motivates me and many other people.
So unbelievably proud of you. And I’m so grateful to have been able to be here along your journey. You’re so inspiring and the growth and flexibility you’ve gained is absolutely incredible. Love you Keltie💛✨
I think this is probably my favorite video so far - and I've watched SO MANY already! Sometimes watching your other challenges, and knowing your background as a college athlete, it seems like results come easily. Sure, we're watching weeks and countless hours of training over the span of a few minutes, but I've always been blown away by the results. With this video, though, we can all feel the determination and grit that went into this challenge. You were vulnerable and honest, and showed us that the inspiration isn't always there. You took a much needed pause, and even though the end product wasn't what you'd imagined for yourself two years ago, I'm still in awe!
Watching you grow and be authentic and real. Really is an absolute breath of fresh air.
You’re so real, and you don’t talk like you’re better than your viewer.
I really enjoy your content. I’m really glad you’re finding yourself.
Just this morning I said, “gosh I feel like my fitness journey is on auto pilot. I’m not into it.”
You video journey was really inspiring… I gotta get my spark back. You’re awesome Keltie. ❤️💪🏻
3:30 I'm just starting really learning about yoga, and your terms "masculine" and "feminine" totally match the ideas of Yin and Yang in yoga, where yang is active, explosive, and engaging the "top-level" of our bodies, and yin is the slower, more internal side of movement that leans more into mobility. So it excites me to hear you use those terms intuitively! Maybe that's where you've heard that before, but I thought maybe some extra context would be fun. :)
I'm so glad you released this video!! Thank you for sharing this overview of the last two years with this challenge. I love seeing the longer term progress and set backs and growth and challenges! Yea!
Man! I needed this. I’m at the start of my triathlon training and really found this video motivating. I’ve enjoyed this channel for a year now. Thank you, Keltie.
Keltie, I ❤❤ your videos! I love how you talk about your WHOLE journey. Not just the "good" parts. It is realistic, raw, and shows that the journey is a marathon, not a sprint. Loved seeing your progress throughout the journey. I cannot wait to see the future videos 😀
This is such an incredible, realistic and beautiful progression! We appreciate your journey. I love this, thank you so much for sharing Keltie
I love this new series!! I love the framing of training for athleticism instead of aesthetics
I am so beyond proud of your, progress, determination, strength and focus Keltie. You have done an amazing job. Up to August last year I had found my joy for working out again by doing it at home and saw more progress than I had in years in both how I looked and felt and I was working on my flexibility along with you. Something about August last year hit me too and I slowly stopped doing it every day, had no motivation and that has lasted a whole year, to now where I haven't worked out, stretched or anything for over a month and I feel awful and I'm back to before where I was at the beginning of 2020. I have felt so defeated and why should I bother but this has just given the boost I needed to go back to drawing board and strat again. Thank you for sharing yours stuggles as well as your successes, it really does help so many of us.
Know this...... we love you, we appreciate you and we think you are a spectacular human ❤
This video hit hard, I’ve been following you for a long time and it reminded me how much you and all of us have been through in the last year or so. Thank you for sharing your journey and being a true inspiration. I know it hasn’t been easy. You have touched more lives than you’ll ever know. ❤️❤️❤️
you're always saying the shit i need to hear to get motivated and find passion in moving my body again. i appreciate u
Words can’t even begin to articulate how inspiring and motivating you are. Thank-you for being so open and honest and show that it’s not always sunshine and rainbows .. I wish you all the best ❤️❤️
Hi Keltie, this is the first time I've ever watched a video of yours and I thought it was random that you showed up on my recommended because this isn't really a genre of videos I typically watch. Regardless, I watched the entire video without noticing the time go by. What an inspiring journey you went through. You were so vulnerable and relatable. I noticed how you hesitantly talk about the progress you made saying "you guys might see these videos and not see the changes", but then you describe all the amazing ways in which you personally see and have felt your body change, that's everything. I'm battling so many injuries right now, a torn rotator cuff, torn bicep, partially herniated disc, knee pain. A lot of times it feels like I'll never get to the athleticism I used to have. But it takes time, hard work, and dedication and your video reminded me that what I need for myself is within my reach. Thank you. Hope you continue to make progress in your journey
Aww, Keltie, I'm so happy that you have finally gotten this video out, and am thrilled that you did chose to post it after all. You've put so much consistent work into this (which is very motivational), and it really shows the importance of the journey and how you FEEL, vs. too many exterior goals. Having the foundation, as you say, hopefully makes meeting those goals and milestones that much easier, but all of this is not nothing. Thank you so much for sharing it with us, and I'm so happy that you are feeling happier and feel that spark again. You are the positive light we all need sometimes in our lives, and I thank you for bringing that to our/my day when you can. Much love and stay happy & strong! ^_^
Get 👏🏼 it 👏🏼 girl 👏🏼
I found your channel during the pandemic and I am SO glad I did! I was furloughed at the time, so I decided that if I was going to be at home for 3 months, I was going to make this part of my daily routine. I was an athletic kid, and as I grew up I worked out on and off. I knew wanted to be a person who worked out but I didn’t know where to start. I knew I had a foundation but I had no plan. So I went back to basics- Push ups, sit-ups, using proper form, and re-educated myself about fitness. I found you, natacha oceane, Caroline girvan, jeff nippard, coach greg; you all had great messages and loads of helpful information. But you were the first 🥰 I can say after a full year of making this promise to myself, my life has changed in so many positive ways. My body and mind are stronger, healthier, and I feel that athletic rush I did as a kid again. You say do what you love, I found out I loveee lifting weights and I hate running, who knew?! I am making progress each and every session. So when I see you busting your ass each and every video, progressing, learning, and rediscovering your passions in life, it makes me smile because I want to keep going too. Thanks for always sharing and being open and honest about your journey. You are truly an inspiration. And I pet my dog after every video for you. Sending love from brooklyn NY ❤️
Keltie!!!! Oh my goodness we are so proud of you!!! My marathon got put on the back burner because of COVID and I lost my spark, but oh my goodness you've brought it back, you're so inspiring and promote such an amazing mentality and approach to fitness
Thank you for releasing this!! It’s so realistic and honest. The splits are my current goal and I quickly realized how long this goal will take to accomplish. I started not even being able to sit straight in the pike position 😅 so proud of your progress and self dedication!!
Thank you for allowing us to follow you on your journey, Keltie! You have inspired me with your perseverance, dedication, and authenticity. Your video was just the reminder I needed today to gift myself with renewed commitment. Sending my heartfelt gratitude and support - Thank you 🙏
You are so authentic and inspirational, your channel hits on so many levels. Thank you for being so real! You should be proud of everything you have achieved.
I am so glad you posted this video! I remember watching the first one and being super inspired to try to learn how to control my hypermobility like a gymnast can. I have the bendy, I need the power and athleticism to compensate for being too bendy. Some of the exercises you do (namely, the wrist ones) I can never do because my wrists can bend backward 100 degrees, and my fingers can bend backward 90 degrees. So I am more focused on strength training to stabilize everything. I've lost 12lbs this year and it's taking so much pressure off my knees, hips, and ankles so I'm in so much less pain than I was already. It's giving me my life back knowing finding ways to cope with my disability through fitness.
I love that you’re so unpretentious! You make me inspired to get in better shape without feeling bad about myself. Thanks for putting out content like this and I wish you all the best!
Keltie! ♥ thank you so much for sharing this video. Thank you for being raw, open, showing not only success but also showing failures and behind the scenes. I do see how your body and movements improved over months and years!!! That's amazing. You really inspire to move my body more and know, that I can achieve some fitness (or however to call that) it I try and not give up. I started going to the gym and weight lifting a month a ago. I know it's a short time, but you know how sometimes we want to see some kind of result, and so I was recently a bit upset for not seeing any body changes. But your video inspires me to keep going. Cuz it takes time.
Can't wait for upcoming videos! ♥
Glad this video could come at this time 🧡 it can be discouraging when we don’t see results. But that doesn’t mean they are not there. If you continuously put in the effort it’s physically impossible things don’t change. Keep putting in that work, you’ll look back and see big changes!!
I cried the whole video..you are a true inspiration and I am really proud of you. I am more than happy to see how you managed, by being so brave and strong, to stick to your plan and invest as much as possible in finding your magic.. no words needed..Congratulations, Keltie, for what you have achieved, and wishing you all the best in the world!
Keltie, I honestly loved this very realistic...well, reality check. Gymnastics, athletics of any kind, really is HARD and it takes so much dedication. I'm 29 now, and have been training in adult gymnastics classes about 1-2x month for the past 5 years (with a couple years off in the middle). I wasn't athletic to begin with, but I'm JUST now getting my handstand consistently (Still can't hold it for 10secs away from the wall, but that's a goal of mine too!). I can do a semi-decent cartwheel and am working on my round off and back handspring too. YOU CAN DO IT! I can't wait to see those upcoming videos!
Thank you so much for sharing this as a story/progress over time. Can’t wait to see the different skills as you learn them but thanks for sharing a journey which is just as powerful and impressive!
Thank you so much for this video, Keltie 💕
I recently injured my lower back (a symptom of a hip and core issue I hadn’t fully healed and strengthened) and it has really bummed me out. This message is EXACTLY what I needed to hear 💕thank you
Best wishes!
YES Keltie!!! You are amazing, girl! You've made so much progress, it's INCREDIBLY obvious that you have, mentally and physically. Keep going! Don't lose faith in yourself, you are incredibly inspirational! Thank you for releasing this video and reminding us that huge changes don't come overnight. Lots of love :)
This is one of my favourite videos of yours - it's so cool to see realistic progression and the setbacks that come with building the foundations for new skills. It's hard to learn new tricks as an adult and this was super inspiring!
I'm all caught up on your yt, so I've been watching older ones and OMGGGG 😭 I've never needed to watch or hear anything more in my entire life! This resonates sooo much with me and my life right now and this just made me feel like I'm in a completely different world 💛 Thank you so much for sharing this part of your life and giving such meaningful advice 💕
So happy you stumbled in this old one, it’s one of my favourites. Love that it resonated with where you are in life right now! Makes me so happy knowing we’re all on this journey together ☺️
Love this video thanks for sharing your journey…didn’t realize I was on this similar journey until you shared this bless you! Can’t wait to see where you go from here!
Great video ! Appreciate your honesty, humility and vulnerability, and that you show the full journey.
Your videos keep getting better and better. Love your energy, love seeing you follow what lights you up ☀️
OMGGGG KELTIE I LOVE YOU. the message behind this was so beautiful. There will always be set backs, but any progress is still progress. It’s okay to restart 💪🏽💪🏽❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for posting this video. It came onto my UA-cam as a recommended video, and I’m so glad that I clicked on it. I was fit pre-covid and was about 12 lbs away from my goal (I was never fit and have always been slightly overweight, and in 2019, I had lost 60+ lbs in about 8 months after becoming a teetotaler, eating well, and working out about 5-6 times a week and was more fit and confident than I had ever been in my life). Then covid hit, and being a high school teacher,I had to work from home. I gained everything back. I was beyond sad and depressed because all of my hard work had been thrown out the window, and I lost so much of my confidence that I had gotten after getting into incredible shape. Working from home is extremely difficult for me because I’ve always been an emotional eater, so when I have to get up and go to work, there is a routine, which includes meals - I work best with a routine like that.
In April, I started working out again but this time at home. I kept it up for about 2.5 months, but I was getting so busy with work that I told myself that I would try again in the summer. When I first got fit, becoming a teetotaler was what got me kick started to loose the weight and gain motivation to keep it up. The weight literally melted off of me; however, when I tried again in April, it was harder this time because I was, and still am, a teetotaler (becoming a teetotaler was a huge factor in the weight loss the first time), so the weight wasn’t coming off like it did the last time. I got into a dark place as I was feeling hopeless that I would never get to where I was before and that my confidence would never return.
I began seeing a dietitian 2 weeks ago, and at the start of this week, I joined CrossFit at a local gym that I found by accident. My non-CrossFit gym membership is still frozen until the end of September, which is ok, so going to CrossFit has been incredible. I’ve gone 5 days this past week to try it out, and I am beyond hooked!!! I feel myself sprinting out of the dark place I’ve been in since this pandemic has begun, and I am feeling so energized. I book my CrossFit workouts for either 7 am or 8 am and will continue those times when school starts again. The combination of diet and CrossFit (plus the non-CrossFit gym when my membership is not frozen anymore) is what I needed to motivate myself again, and my confidence is coming back. I’m still at the start of my CrossFit, weight loss, and fitness journey, but after 17+ months of this pandemic and feeling down and unmotivated, I’m ready!
Your video is a true inspiration 😀 Thank you for sharing your journey - you’ve accomplished something incredible! 😃
I see so much progress mentally and physically in you. I've hit rock bottom, I've lost my passion for fitness and food. Thank you for this video, I need this reminder that it takes time to build those foundations. Love you Keltie 💖
Not me crying watching this because of how incredible keltie is and how amazing she is showing the highs and lows and feeling pride because I watched her go through this. Proper gurning. So proud, feel inspired and want to do more but so glad keltie can show us how to do things in our own time and not give up hope 😭😭❤️❤️❤️ thank you Keltie 😪💙💖😊💕😍
Keltie doesn’t understand that she awakens my inner athlete,my perspective towards fitness and lifting has changed so much and I now eat to fuel my body and my gains so thank you 🥰😩🤩🥺🤍
I honestly love that you posted this even though there were some rough patches on the journey. It was a great reminder that even if you hit bumps in the road or have to pause, it doesn’t mean you have to give up the goal entirely. I’m so used to seeing short little challenges on your channel, it was cool to see something that took a while, hit some snags, but that you still followed through on.
Super impressive!
Going on a longer fitness journey can really change your perspective on health and movement in general.
You did and are doing really well and the story was told in a consistent and entertaining way.
So so so proud of you Keltie ,your progress is amazing . I stopped working out when i started my job that's always a night shift cause i was so tired to do anything and my depression wasn't helping but i gained muscle because of work and realized how much exercising means to me cause I'm an athlete . I train Muay Thai ,i can't imagine myself doing smt else . I used to train Basketball but Muay Thai is even more meaningful to me . Thank you for making this video and showing that even though it's not easy in the end is totally worth it 🖤
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your journey. The past year was not kind to me. I’ve been trying to persevere, but these last few months have been tough. This is inspiring me to maintain my grit and push through the fog 🖤.
I'm so glad you kept at this video! You're such an inspiration to keep going and keep trying and don't worry if it didn't work for you. 2021 has been the year of the splits for me - I've never been able to get anywhere close - and it looks like my journey may also be 2 years. So great to know how long it truly takes! Thank you so much for sharing!!
You completely changed my view of fitness. Keep doing what you are doing! So glad UA-cam recommend me your video.
You are so inspiring girl! I’m starting to get bored of my workouts and your challenges are helping me incorporate new goals to set for myself. Thank you!
Thank you for making this 🥺💕 i feel a bit lost myself as well 🥺 but watching this video gave me hope to not give up !
Keltie is so beautiful and such a great inspiration! I loved this video so much, because of how honest and real she kept it. Both the achievements and the times she had to start over, it’s all very motivational and so relatable! Thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
I love this!! This makes me feel inspired to finally do fitness videos on my channel and really explore my athleticism. Your last few videos have made me want to move again in a new way and not worry about progress but just how to feel good. Thank you so much
Thank you so much for this video Keltie. As someone that needs sports in her life but hasn't been able to get into a pool because of covid, I feel quite helpless in my "fitness" journey and I sometimes have a hard time justifying why I want to be able to do a handstand or whatever other cool skill. This bucket list series gives me so much hope and even some kind of closure to my past, yourger self. You're such an inspiration
The progress in your posture and alignment in your hips/pelvis is incredible! You are radiating strength! Bravo 👏🏼 👏🏼
Entirely relatable!!!! I have tight hips and hamstrings that I have been working on for months. You are inspiring because you kept at it and powered through. Thank you!
Love it! This is exactly what I’m trying to do. Thank you for the inspiration and positive message 💜
Love that you still released the video even though you didn't get to your expected goal. You definitely improved and that's amazing though. Loved the video and how open you were. I think COVID set a lot of us back and it's nice to not feel alone there.
I am so proud of how far you've come and putting in all the effort and hard work. Well done! I hope you're really proud of yourself.
Just wanted to say thank you for sharing this! The tough times were relatable & honest. Then you went & completely inspired me! Congrats on your progress & determination! You should absolutely be proud of yourself! You look great but, more importantly, you look like you feel great!
I see your progress and it’s amazing! Motivating me to keep going on my fitness journey. Love your content Keltie!❤️
I'm so happy for you, and I want to send you the best vibes! From my heart, you inspire me to get active, to treat myself and others kindly, and to challenge myself to new things. When I was maybe 6 or 7, my parents had me in gymnastics, and I loved it, but I quit after about a year due to social anxiety and some drama with another girl. But I wish I hadn't - my life could be so different right now. This video has re-sparked my dream of being flexible and strong, so I hope that once I'm done with school and I get a real job, I will have a good schedule to do more than my current one-two times a week work out. You are so strong, physically and mentally, and I aspire to be like you! (Also sorry if my English is awkward)
I started playing sports when I was 4 and grew up being an athlete. But within the past couple of years, my workouts and training have fallen to the back burner. And the longer I waited to start training again, the less and less I wanted to go. But I recently pushed myself to go back and take it seriously again. I'm not the same athlete I was 8 years ago, which can be really frustrating and really discouraging. But seeing you talk about it and your own struggles with it, it's made me feel less alone and has given me that extra push to keep going. I'm not in the same place I was 8 years ago. I'm not even in the same place that I was in 3 years ago. Progress isn't instant. It takes some time. So from one athlete to another, thank you for posting this video. It's easy for us athletes to show all the good stuff, but hide when we struggle. Thank you for putting it all out there ❤️
This is so inspiring, thank you for sharing this journey with us. It makes my heart so happy to see you in a better place
Not me crying seeing your split progression 😭 thank you for always sharing the highs and lows you go through!
This is amazing and so inspiring! Few people have these long term videos and it's amazing to see the little ways you change over time. Great video!
I love and really appreciate your transparency in this video. I enjoy watching you find your truest self!!
GIRL THE QUALITY OF THIS VIDEO !!! You are stepping it up and we are noticing !! Loved this video Keltie!
Thank you soo much for sharing your journey to this. I think it's important for all of us to realize that it takes consistancy and hard work to get to where we want to go. My current challenge has been doing full push-ups, and I've been working on them for 6 months and am slowly getting there. Just keep with it!! Way to go Keltie!
Way to go!!! I'm so happy you posted this. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for this, Keltie. I’m about to start my own journey back to the fitness and flexibility I had 5 years ago and this has inspired me. Hands down my favorite video of yours ❤️
Keltie you r amazing! I loved this video I love your perseverance, and when u turned n smiled on the final clip of your splits i friggin teared up & cried. So proud of u! And I’m glad u r proud of yourself to! Your videos always put a smile on my face & brighten my day keep doing what your doing and thank u so much for letting all of us b a part of your life🥰🥰
Teared up a little at the end. So inspiring! 2020 was a hard year and you are so honest about the good and the bad.
So beautiful to see this video at last! Because of your 30 day stretching video, I started to prioritise stretching and gosh my body sure needed it! 💙💙
Love this!! Glad you didn't give up girl!! I was a competitive gymnast for 18 years so I know its not easy at all!! A helpful tip would be to also include hamstring stretches into your stretching routine! Hamstring flexibility will help with your handstands, splits, and to straighten your knees on the splits all the way! Also practicing holding a handstand against a wall for 1 minute at a time will help build up your shoulder/wrist strength so you will be able to hold it by yourself! great job Keltie! Keep it going!!!
Thanks for posting! Can’t wait to see you continue to your gymnastics journey!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Anna!! 🧡
IT'S HERE! The video of the century. Keltie - you are truly my idol. ❤️ I can only dream of being as awesome of a UA-camr as you. 💪 Women power RIGHT HERE and at such a coincidentally great time for Canadian women ✌️🇨🇦

@@KeltieOConnor awww one can only dream ❤️ and YES!
Thank you so much for this video! It is so inspirational and encouraging! I started a gymnastics challenge with a friend in January after quitting gymnastics 30 years ago for other sports, and it was so immensely frustrating to realize how I had lost the feeling for how to even move into postures I had once been able to do. Fear had taken over and kept stopping me from doing handstands, flips, basically anything that involves "falling down" , so it took me months to even do a handstand against a wall (headstands are done with core strength and control, so they were never a problem - I guess it is the fear oflosing control that stopped me), and still, I feel better when there is somebody standing next to me "just in case"....there are still many things on my list, but now I am back at gymnastics class (and I am, surprisingly, not the oldest one), I feel I am on a good way. It has also helped me a lot in other areas of my life because I used to be the person who would question her own right to live when she did not get instant results, and now I can accept that some things just take time, and that it is ok to give myself that time. It was great to see that I am not alone in this struggle. Thank you for uploading it, it felt like getting a pep talk from a friend.
Keltie, you are an absolute rock star! You stuck with something that was not easy(read...hard) and you learned how strong you really are. 😊
Thanks for releasing this video 🤍🤍🤍. It did speaks to my soul 🤍🤍🤍.
That was such a great video Keltie, I'm super glad you uploaded it. The past two years probably set a lot of us back and that little sheet with Autopilot literally had my name on it.
I don't know. This video sparked something in me. I don't know what exactly but I'm glad I've seen it
You've made DO MUCH PROGRESS! It's crazy the amount of dedication you have had, even when it seems like you're not progressing and that you're in a slump, you've pushed through, and it really shows! This handstands are looking amazing!
Thank you so much Reagan☺️🧡☀️ that means so much to me!!
I'm training for my first Triathlon and would have never had the guts without you and your channel. I like that you show up your ups and downs, and really don't pretend to be anything but human. Thanks for being dope!
So proud of you and your journey!!!! What a legend! Thank you for sharing it with us!
