This is the story of how Phil Daoust took up gymnastics after 61. "The older I get, the more I want to play rather than just work out. Have I left it too late to learn a backflip, cartwheel or forward tuck – especially with a dodgy knee?" He chronicles his first tumbling class with the Over Gravity gym in east London. "‘I have never done anything similar – not even as a child. But everyone at Over Gravity acts as if this is the most natural thing in the world," he says.
