Age Is No Barrier

Too often we think of gymnastics, and sport in general, as a young person's game. However, a 1989 documentary short by the National Film Board of Canada does wonders to dispel that idea. Age Is No Barrier (24 min) follows a group of seniors at the University of Alberta, who call themselves "The U of Agers", as they explore and challenge themselves in the physical fitness realm; and more specifically their love of gymnastics. You're never too old to explore something you love.

My favourite quote from the film: "You've touched the fountain of youth: The gym floor."
