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.
