A very enlightening thread this one and one that I can relate to. I'm 62 in April, well past my best fitness years having been a gym bunny in my twenties and a scuba diver for over 40yrs now. The body has relented a lot of flexibility and endurance since I hung up my carpentry tools a few years ago, and it's a bit of an eye opener for me when my wife & I can walk up a relatively easy hill behind the shed on the Coast and I'm huffing & puffing and she is breathing normally lol.
I've become semi addicted to the gym again and do 3 or 4 sessions a week on cardio and leg work, I feel better for it and the legs are getting stronger. Age is what it is and fingers crossed I intend to make the best of it while the body still works and does what I want it to do....albeit at a reduced pace lol.
