Q: Before you start flipping, pirouetting and standing on your head, you should work to reach a base level of physical conditioning. Build your muscular strength by performing calisthenics exercises such as push ups, pull ups, air squats, and crunches. Go for a jog or swim laps a couple of times a week to get in better cardiovascular shape. Begin stretching thoroughly every day—flexibility plays a critical role in gymnastics.  As you progress, keep up with your strength and conditioning exercises and increase their intensity. If you have a history of serious injury or a condition that makes strenuous exercise difficult or risky, gymnastics may not be for you, but other sports are out there. Start learning all the most basic skills from the ground up. You may have performed some gymnastics moves as a kid or think you have a pretty good idea of how it’s supposed to be done, but if you want to learn the right way you need to put pride aside and start from square one. Looking at each skill like it’s your first time will help do away with any misconceptions you may have and orient you with the correct technique.  Any expert will tell you that the most important aspect of getting good at anything is mastering the basics. Spending more time becoming confident with fundamental skills will benefit you in the long run. Some good techniques to add to your repertoire when you’re first starting out are backbends, bridges, headstands, handstands, forward and backward somersaults, cartwheels and splits. Do every skill the right way or don’t do it at all. Proper form and precision are the two most important components of the sport. If you learn something the wrong way, not only do you run the risk of injury but you might also establish bad habits that affect every skill that builds off that movement. Film yourself and compare it to the photo and video tutorials you’re using to review your technique. Whenever you get a chance, set aside time to drill the techniques you’ve learned. Only work on skills that it's safe for you to do by yourself or under the supervision of an adult or someone else who can spot you. This will mostly include simple floor movements—flips and other complex skills will be too dangerous to learn on your own. Formal instruction can provide you with useful cues for learning more quickly, but the progress you’re able to make depends almost entirely on how hard you’re willing to study and work.  Try to set aside at least three hours a week to train. Remember, practice doesn’t make perfect: perfect practice makes perfect. You should always put special emphasis on the correct form when training and give it your all.
A: Make sure you’re physically prepared. Approach each skill as a beginner. Focus on technique. Practice religiously.

Article: Get help with a qualified mental health professional who can help you to work through your problems. People with hypochondria sometimes have underlying anxiety issues or depression that, if treated, might help the individual overcome their fears of illness. A therapist can also help you to determine the cause of your fears and work through them in a safe environment.  To find a qualified psychologist, try this site: http://locator.apa.org/  A therapist can help you by using different therapy styles, such as cognitive behavioral therapy. One cause of hypochondria is a misunderstanding about how bodily sensations work and/or how pain signals work. This misunderstanding, or lack of knowledge, can lead people to misinterpret bodily signals and view them as more serious than they actually are. So, ask yourself how much you have learned about the body and brain in your education. If you haven't learned much as part of your education so far, one way to help you overcome hypochondria may be to learn about basic bodily sensations. Learn about normally occurring bodily sensations so you don't become scared that you are seriously sick when you experience them. It can be helpful to ask friends and loved ones what types of experiences they feel sometimes.  For example, you might ask whether your friends have ever felt a heart palpitation (e.g., a fluttering of the heart of a feeling of the heart skipping a beat). You will likely find that many of your friends and loved ones have experienced this before, because heart palpitations are common.  In addition, you could use this resource, which shows the kinds of sensations people typically feel when they experience different emotions: http://www.pnas.org/content/111/2/646.full You may find yourself thinking a lot about your bodily sensations in order to detect illness. Make a week long plan to reduce the number of checks you allow yourself gradually so that by the end of the week you are only checking your sensations a couple times a day or less. For example, on the first day, you might allow yourself to check your sensations 30 times, on the second day you might reduce this to 22 times, on the third day 14 times, and continue to reduce that number over the rest of the week. If you ask your friends and family to reassure you that you are not sick and this doesn't alleviate your worry, it may be best to stop engaging in this behavior. This is because it can backfire and cause you to actually worry even more.  This is because you may ask for reassurance more and more often in an attempt to get some benefit from it in the form of reduced anxiety, which just keeps your worries front and center in your mind. If your loved ones are constantly asking you how you are doing and their checking in on you is disrupting your attempts to get your illness anxiety out of your mind, kindly let them know this. You might say "I truly appreciate that you are concerned about me and that you care but I'm trying to think less about my concerns about illness, so it would be really helpful for me if you checked in on me only one day per week." An effective way to reduce stress and increase well-being is a technique called progressive muscle relaxation. This may help you reduce your levels of anxiety more broadly, and your illness anxieties in particular. To perform progressive muscle relaxation:   Set aside 15 quiet minutes for yourself. Close your eyes and relax your body. Apply tension to a specific muscle group by flexing/squeezing it for five or so seconds. Be careful not to squeeze too tight and hurt yourself. Quickly relax the tensed muscle group while exhaling your breath. It is very important to focus intently on the difference in feeling between the tensed muscles and the relaxed muscles. After staying in this relaxed state for around 15 seconds, repeat the whole process with other muscle groups. Although medications are not typically prescribed directly for hypochondriasis, hypochondria tends to be associated with depression and/or anxiety disorders, which there are medications for. These medications may then indirectly improve symptoms of hypochondria.  If you think you may benefit from treating depression and/or anxiety, explain the situation to your doctor.  Your doctor may decide to prescribe a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) to help you. Be sure to always consult with your doctor before starting, stopping, or changing how you take a medication.
