I simply can't cartwheel anymore in my middle aged body hahaha
I am happy to report as a 50+ dude I still do cartwheels on occasion. I've done a few in the last couple months even. If kids are around we just might get in a cartwheel competition. If I'm walking someplace with a long hallway, a cartwheel calls. They always make people happier at a hospital. Do more cartwheels!
There's a maintenance tunnel that runs between a couple of buildings where I work, housing a bunch of pipes for the boiler system. It's probably 15ft wide, about 500ft of smooth concrete, with the two ends angled down towards a drain in the middle.
Every single time I'm in that tunnel, I wish I had a skateboard... I haven't been on a skateboard in 30 years... One day I'm going to break a hip in that tunnel, get fired, and lose my health insurance but it will be awesome, and I'll have the biggest smile on my face the whole time!
Haha this made me smile!
I’ll be real honest here….I don’t think I ever cartwheeled as a child either
But I’ll get a few more whimsical twirls in when I wear dresses now! Thanks for the inspiration!
Twirls with dresses are full of whimsy and beautiful... please keep it up! It always makes people smile!
I wish I could spin until I was dizzy with kids too, but alas that's been a sure way to get myself sick all my adult years.
As a guy who weighs way to much these days, I for some reason am foolish enough to think my arms will be fine but I'd still somehow break my hip.
In reality I'd probably just faceplant or break my neck lol.
How'd he go out? That fucker tried whimsy at 36
Not that I go to them, but gyms could have a space with mats and a spotter for this kind of thing.
Honestly this. I will hurt myself sleeping with my head tilted 5 degrees the wrong direction. I will 100% hurt myself if my head is near the ground and my legs are in the air.
