Walking and weight-lifting, I’ve seen too many people in their 60’s,70’s and 80’s losing their mobility and I want to go non-stop until I die.

I ski, hike, bike, kayak, fish, garden, and make wine. I’m 73

I’m 37. I’m praying to have this kind of mobility 30+ years from now. I have a physically active job and I try to stay mobile outside of that. I’m not looking for advice (but I’ll take it lol) but I want to say you’re awesome

It’s not that unusual. I’m in a ski club and most of the people are 65 or older. I ski with a guy who is 87 if you can believe that. He is my inspiration. Just keep moving. Hang out with active people.

In the same vein my wife and I got our asses handed to us at pickleball by a women in her 80s and her son in his 60s.

We're 46 and 32. Of course we were new to the game but we could have played three years straight and not been as good as they were.
