A three-year-old girl has become a social media sensation after her impressive gymnastics moves have won the hearts of thousands.
Emma Rester from El Paso, Texas, has
been doing gymnastics since she was two-and-a-half after her mother
Annie Antje thought the sport might help her with her clumsiness.
Little did she know that Emma would
turn out to be a prodigy, catching on to complex moves faster than
girls much older than herself and displaying incredible coordination
for flips, handstands and other exercises.
Budding
athlete: The little girl started gymnastics when she was just
two-and-a-half when her mother took her to a class in the hopes it would
help her with her clumsiness
Gaining fame: Soon after amassing her legion of followers, the little girl was asked to appear on The Ellen Show
Eventually mom Annie decided to start
little Emma an Instagram page back in September, beginning with a few
clips of the tiny tot doing headstands and lifts with impressive form.
Suddenly, the page began to take off, attracting tens of thousands of followers in a matter of a few months.

During the interview, little Emma
explained that her favorite gymnastics exercises are on the bars, doing
back bends and even back handsprings.
Missing dad: The little girl also discussed her father (pictured) who is away in Korea with the army
Showing off: Next, Emma displayed her talent by performing moves on the bar and on the mats for the studio audience
She also revealed that her hero is
American gymnast Gabby Douglas, who is the reigning Olympic champion
for the all-around event, saying: 'I like her leotard, and she won a
gold medal at the Olympics.'
When asked if she is ever afraid of falling, the little girl responded: 'No, because then we get back up.'
'That is a wonderful thing to say. You just get back up!' said Ellen.
Emma and her mother also explained how
Emma's father is currently in Korea with the army, but that he left his
little girl a 'daddy kiss jar', which is full of chocolate Hershey's
kisses, enough for every day he is away.

Following her interview, Emma mounted a
mini version of the high bar where she performed some spins to the
audience's amazement before taking to the mats and performing a
masterful back bend and kick over.
In order to show off her back hand
springs, Emma was lifted onto a trampoline and continued to flip
herself backwards while Ellen looked on, her mouth agape in shock at
the little girl's talent.
'That was so good! I can't believe how good you are,' said Ellen at one point.
