Fitness is a Key to Staying Young

You can feel old at any age.  As soon as you bend over and it hurts or you try and carry something and its difficult or you have to run a short distance and it almost kills you, you say, “Man I’m Getting Old”.

Your quality of life at any age is dependent on being able to do things you want to do.  On a trip over seas after college a friend and I witnessed all these retirees as tourists. It seemed they could barely walk let alone put in the rigorous hours of touring they had probably dreamed about all their lives.

Even as your kids get older there are things you might want join in and participate with them. There is skiing, baseball games, jogs around the park, hikes,  and bike rides.  When your kids have kids you are going to need lots of energy to keep up with the really young ones.

Fitness slips away slowly and is tough to get back.  You are less inclined to work yourself hard or go through the pain the further you let it go.  Exercise, stretching, and aerobics hurt when you are not in shape.  The least you could do is when you wake up, spend ten minutes before coffee stretching and doing a few push ups. If you are not stretched, you will pull muscles and get strains when you try something more vigorous.

Then you need an aerobic activity.  Walking is good and least of the painful exercises. Try and throw in some runs, bike riding, or hiking after work or on the weekend.  If you belong to a gym, don’t let your membership go to waste.

If you are in shape, you can take up new sports in your 50’s and 60’s.  If you are not in shape, you can feel old in your 30’s.
