I dont think you realize how amazing you are. I literally get tears in my eye's everytime I watch you. I just remember you being a little firecracker as a teen. You've surpassed that by miles. Just amazing and see you do this but, be happy while doing so as a mom. Chell yeah.
Taking a study break from my last final to watch while I eat. I'm not a gymnast, I just like the sport, but I keep trying to have "Chellsie energy" while I study :) Thank you for the motivation!
Exercise content that isn't about losing weight or "looking good?" In this economy?? We love to see it. I've been cooped up and honestly depressed for so long that my body has seriously gotten even more out of shape than before, but this has inspired me to at least try some of these things 💚
Same here... Chellsie’s come back story is part of the reason I was motivated to get back into physical activity after feeling cooped up and depressed for months. Seeing someone do it for the challenge and the love of the sport just lit a fire under me. Just know that many of us out here are struggling just like you described. We are all doing the best we can. ❤️
I can’t even do the toes up! My left foot is “dead” so I have no feeling in that foot plus a condition called CMT that screws up my nerves. I also broke that ankle in 2019 and have had two surgeries on it. I broke the top of my foot in three places, a break in each bone and two breaks in the actual ankle. I also have an artificial right hip that keeps dislocating so my movement’s are limited so I don’t throw it out again. Then I’ve had six or so surgeries on my abdomen and we are looking at another one. I love watching you to see what I used to be able to do.
Love to see that your ankle is allowing you to add more. This was another great video and satisfied my desire for a longer video! Thank you for sharing!
I’m glad to know the warm up I did when I was younger wasn’t all that different from the National Team Camp’s warm up. Thanks for inspiring us all, Chellsie!
I love your training montage. You have a real pro doing production too. The editing and sound is very well done. You are going to "kill it" this coming year (and beyond).
Netflix should make a movie out of Chelsie's story. She is a trailblazer in US Gymnastics and hopefully her comeback represents the a new chapter in US WAG.
can you pleasee post a full follow along conditioning workout? as a gymnast i would really appreciate it!! doesn’t matter how long the video is (the longer the better 😍)
It's so cool to see the progress you can make in just 1 week! I ruptured a ligament last year and it's kept me away from dancing, which is the thing I really love. But watching this. I feel a lot more motivate to switch to more conditioning and focusing less on bullying myself back into dancing
Thank you so much for the warmup. I am on quarantine right now and I have been looking for a good gymnastics stretch to do while I'm not in the gym. Best of luck and happy holidays.
Hey Chellsie! I'm just a couple of years older than you and I've been a huge fan since your Olympics! I just LOVE watching you now, probably more than I did back then hah! Keep up the good work and GOOD LUCK with everything!
I love watching all of your videos! I just love to hear your Dad/Coach’s words of encouragement off camera to you. For the warm up that you do? I was wondering since you said that you do it all the time are you ever worried that your body will get to used to the moves and not work as well at warming up your body? Thank you so much for making these videos! I enjoy watching them so much! ❤️
You are a huge inspiration Chellsie! You really have no idea how much these videos motivate me. The music on this one put me in a sort of trance. Please where can I find this music?
Love this! Gonna watch again and do it as a warm up! A follow along at home workout with no equipment would be great! Maybe 20 mins worth of conditioning or something? Just a thought and would love to see it! :)
Everyone has worse and better days. You, Chellsie, you give me a great example to never give up, to go, til you get it right. So diligent and focused. And btw, even though you fell on that Tkatchev it was very high and beautiful :D I would so love to train with you once, because I also love tumbling ( well not at that advaced level, still :P)
One song abs. Depending on how spicy you're feeling, you can make it a longer song, but I usually go somewhere in the 3 and a half minute range. The stretch set I do is actually really similar to the one you showed, but there's some different things you do that I'm going to have to try.
Still working on exercises from physical therapy - when I can a few of the basic things (nothing with the knees) will be added. I also try to do a little ballet barre work (barefeet only) from Kathyrn Morgans basic ballet barre. :) Great Stuff here.
Hi Chellsie!! Thank you for sharing with us! I look forward to a new video every Sunday! I'm wondering, how do you fuel your body for the intense training you do? Do you stick to a specific diet, or just eat what feels right?
Loved this video! We got to see you try so many more skills like in your beginning videos. Why will you start competing/when are competitions even starting again?
Here is a little recipe to make any gymnastics lover smile BIG TIME: To watch Chellsie Memmel performing a perfectly round Memmel on floor. PS: I know its a bit challenging for you at times, but when you get it right, which you have been more and more.. it's just from out of this world. KEEP GOING, we love you ! ;) x
I hope you don't mind me asking you this question, but how do you manage training when you get your period? How did you manage your period as a teenager and now as an adult in gymnastics? I wish that more athletes would open up more about this because I have had many friends who have given up their sport because of embarrasment/pain when it comes to their periods. I think that if more athletes talked openly about their periods maybe less girls would quit their sports when they see their role model not giving up.
I have been happy to see commenters sharing info about his on various dance videos. I think I saw a ballet video that covered period information. It would have been nice to know back when I was a teenager. I am glad at least to learn now that I was not alone with figuring out what to do. I do hope more will be discussed so girls don't feel shame or loneliness in dealing with normal stuff.
Chellsie did you have to strengthen your connective tissues again when you returned to GST or were you still maintaining somewhat? I imagine you still were quite strong when you returned.
I do bridges and stretch my straddle. I also do Arm,Circles. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to,stretch my wrists and back which have been,bothering me. Also, the ball of my foot because mostly I dance Liturgical through my church and we dance barefoot. Also, how do you strengthen your ankle? I need something to roll it out with and don't have anything because its been,bothering me.
some facts about Chellsie and why she's an unlucky gymnast: - She supposed to be on the team in 2004 olympics, because some gymnasts on the team was injured, but Team USA decided to keep this team - She won the silver medal on team final in 2006 and give up many finals cause she was injured, without injury she probably won the all-around title against Ferrari and probably let her became a second time the all around world champion. - 2008: during the olympics, she broke her ankle just before the competition, if she wasn't injured, she probably compete on the four events and help team USA to won the gold medal or try -2011: big comeback, she won the silver medal in all around on national and probably send in the tokyo world championship than alicia sacramone, but she injured her shoulder, she also declined the pan american -2012: USA Gymnastics refused to let her compete in the 2012 trials, if she keep her level from 2011, she probably replaced kyla ross on the 2012 olympics team (lead on bars), she didn't have the chance to accomplish her goal and finish her career one last time with her teammate Nastia, Alicia and Bri.
I think it must take more coordination and body awareness to do a vault and purposefully land on your back than it would to land on your feet... A small deviation could be pretty bad!
Your legs are not straight when you do thé releve on toes... I would add full plie, sitting pointed toes and flex. Nice tip for thé Split (to pull back) : I thought I was thé only one still doing it!
1st the good news, the donkey & me get along awesome, even better than the Amish owner. 2nd the bad news, all the little kids voted on who's ears were floppier, mine or the donkey's & I "won". I might just go to bed & not wake up til this time next year.
Chelsea is much more down to earth than Nastia. I have attempted to watch her RUclips channel But it’s full of expensive stuff and thousands of shoes, I might be exaggerating on the shoes. Chelsea is more down to earth and not living with all that money.
From an almost 50 year old, still hanging onto to her ariels and backhandsprings...I can't tell you how much I enjoy these videos!
Wow that’s amazing!
She's 33 or something 😂
Maybe she’s talking about herself? Or oksana? 🤔 🤷🏻♀️
Clara Waltz She was obviously talking about her own age.
Good for you.
I dont think you realize how amazing you are. I literally get tears in my eye's everytime I watch you. I just remember you being a little firecracker as a teen. You've surpassed that by miles. Just amazing and see you do this but, be happy while doing so as a mom. Chell yeah.
I loved the reunion vid Nastia did it was so cool to see all of you “together” 2020 style.
Didn't you think Chell looked a little uncomfortable? Or is she just more shy than the rest?
Taking a study break from my last final to watch while I eat. I'm not a gymnast, I just like the sport, but I keep trying to have "Chellsie energy" while I study :) Thank you for the motivation!
We are the same person
I need Chellsie energy for my life!
@@Sarah-pr7bb good luck with your exam!!
Hey! We almosttttt have the same name lol
Oh, i feel you over here too. These vids got me through finals week.
Exercise content that isn't about losing weight or "looking good?" In this economy?? We love to see it. I've been cooped up and honestly depressed for so long that my body has seriously gotten even more out of shape than before, but this has inspired me to at least try some of these things 💚

Your bar releases are so high! You keep up all this bars practice, and you'll be throwing Shang's by spring!
Love to see that your ankle is allowing you to add more. This was another great video and satisfied my desire for a longer video! Thank you for sharing!
Your Hindorf is so high that it looks like you’re capable of doing it laid out lol No pressure though
I’m glad to know the warm up I did when I was younger wasn’t all that different from the National Team Camp’s warm up. Thanks for inspiring us all, Chellsie!
I love your training montage. You have a real pro doing production too. The editing and sound is very well done. You are going to "kill it" this coming year (and beyond).
Netflix should make a movie out of Chelsie's story. She is a trailblazer in US Gymnastics and hopefully her comeback represents the a new chapter in US WAG.
Someone should make a movie about older gymnasts. Even Agnes Keleti and Chusovitina and will Chellsie be the next...
I love that you're trying not to laugh at the toddler shenanigans going on upstairs while you're warming up.
Love the new intro, hopefully Stacey comes again soon. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all!
can you pleasee post a full follow along conditioning workout? as a gymnast i would really appreciate it!! doesn’t matter how long the video is (the longer the better 😍)

Thank u so much for inspiring me everyday to get up
Love the beam combos! And bars is looking really strong! I hope you are having fun with it!
I’ve noticed that most gymnasts use both hands to hold their leg when they’re doing a memmel/mustafina is there a reason you only use one?
She's the creator of the moves, she can do what she wants! We are lucky we get to witness the progress
The way she holds it is exactly why it's a memmel versus a Mustafina I'm pretty sure.. the one hand
Thank you so much for the warmup. I am on quarantine right now and I have been looking for a good gymnastics stretch to do while I'm not in the gym. Best of luck and happy holidays.
So glad to see you back on the other events doing skills again! Looking great!
Hey Chellsie! I'm just a couple of years older than you and I've been a huge fan since your Olympics! I just LOVE watching you now, probably more than I did back then hah! Keep up the good work and GOOD LUCK with everything!

Yay! Return of the longer style video! Thanks for the warm up!
I love this new format! More vlog style than you being interrogated nonstop
Love the stretching routine, music was a great touch
So awesome to see your ankle getting stronger and stronger.
Loved the music! Especially the first song!
So happy to see you back flipping and training! Hope the ankle is doing well!! They’re the worst injury ugh!!
someone is owning this comeback!
You are a huge inspiration Chellsie! You really have no idea how much these videos motivate me. The music on this one put me in a sort of trance. Please where can I find this music?
Oh I like this style Chell!!
I think your pak salto technique is absolutely gorgeous!
Love this! Gonna watch again and do it as a warm up!
A follow along at home workout with no equipment would be great! Maybe 20 mins worth of conditioning or something?
Just a thought and would love to see it! :)
Everyone has worse and better days. You, Chellsie, you give me a great example to never give up, to go, til you get it right. So diligent and focused.

OMG Chellsie keep going!! You are doing so good!!!
So helpful and inspiring! Thanks for being so down to earth.
Ahhhh yay! I love your vids! ❤️❤️❤️

Love this new video format! The music and editing is great, too! (Who am I kidding, they're all great!)
THIS IS THEE VIDEO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR ! Yes!
Happy holidays, Chelsie! Enjoy your Christmas break.
Still working on exercises from physical therapy - when I can a few of the basic things (nothing with the knees) will be added. I also try to do a little ballet barre work (barefeet only) from Kathyrn Morgans basic ballet barre. :) Great Stuff here.
The reaction to the turn in like the first 10 seconds is one I have about 50 tons a day walking
Your progress is amazing to see! You're doing great!
Loved watching this video. Keep up the great work!
I am excited!
Your arm muscles when you flip look so COOL!!
Hi Chellsie!! Thank you for sharing with us! I look forward to a new video every Sunday! I'm wondering, how do you fuel your body for the intense training you do? Do you stick to a specific diet, or just eat what feels right?
I say go for a Wevers turn to illusion combo. Seems doable. 😁😁😁
Are you doing dance throughs or choreography drills as you are coming back on your ankle?
love this love this love this
I love the slide! Merry Christmas Chellsie Xxx
So excited!
You’re always amazing 😃 Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄💚❤️

Chellsie and andy were on the gymnastic podcast a month or so ago and she spoke about this!
Nice warm up ideas !
Love this video and like the format
Wonderful video
Chellsie did you have to strengthen your connective tissues again when you returned to GST or were you still maintaining somewhat?
I imagine you still were quite strong when you returned.
PLEASE REACT TO OLYMPIC TRIALS 2008 routines !
Still totally watching these videos and enjoying them but missing the old videos with more banter.
When warming up is your workout 😂
Looking fantastic, Chellsie!
Have you tried a double illusion on floor? You’re illusions are very strong and it’s a D skill!
Chellsie, you are amazing
What will or hopefully will be your first competition back? I’m interested in how that all works. Any help?
Loved this video tbh
Almost 20 minutes long is the best part
brb gotta go watch stick it after seeing that one second clip on the tumble track hahah
I do bridges and stretch my straddle. I also do Arm,Circles. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to,stretch my wrists and back which have been,bothering me. Also, the ball of my foot because mostly I dance Liturgical through my church and we dance barefoot. Also, how do you strengthen your ankle? I need something to roll it out with and don't have anything because its been,bothering me.
I love your swing on bars it’s 👌🏻
Your gymnast skills appear just as good or excellent as they were in gymnastic competitions.
Many of her skills actually look better. Her conditioning is really paying off.
Yay!!!
What do you do to stay motivated?
some facts about Chellsie and why she's an unlucky gymnast:
- She supposed to be on the team in 2004 olympics, because some gymnasts on the team was injured, but Team USA decided to keep this team
- She won the silver medal on team final in 2006 and give up many finals cause she was injured, without injury she probably won the all-around title against Ferrari and probably let her became a second time the all around world champion.
- 2008: during the olympics, she broke her ankle just before the competition, if she wasn't injured, she probably compete on the four events and help team USA to won the gold medal or try
-2011: big comeback, she won the silver medal in all around on national and probably send in the tokyo world championship than alicia sacramone, but she injured her shoulder, she also declined the pan american

I think it must take more coordination and body awareness to do a vault and purposefully land on your back than it would to land on your feet... A small deviation could be pretty bad!
Yay 18 mins 😍
Could have been a power tumbler 👏👏
Are you making your own videos now?
Did your hips change noticeably having kids, or did you have so much training before and after that the effect was minimal?
Asmr warm up
I miss the commentary of the earlier videos :(
you have so much more lazer beams than we do we only have one
you can really see how blind that landing is on the layout front of the bars, i cant imagine how a double front would be like
beautiful pak salto
Your legs are not straight when you do thé releve on toes... I would add full plie, sitting pointed toes and flex. Nice tip for thé Split (to pull back) : I thought I was thé only one still doing it!
1st the good news, the donkey & me get along awesome, even better than the Amish owner.
2nd the bad news, all the little kids voted on who's ears were floppier, mine or the donkey's & I "won".
I might just go to bed & not wake up til this time next year.
Anybody else hate when she stops after 1 skill on bars 😩😩 Feels like a stuck sneeze 😩
Chelsea is much more down to earth than Nastia. I have attempted to watch her RUclips channel But it’s full of expensive stuff and thousands of shoes, I might be exaggerating on the shoes. Chelsea is more down to earth and not living with all that money.
Well, the time has come for you to stop self-coaching yourself, hasn't it?
