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.

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.
