The important thing to remember about aging is to do so gracefully. You won’t win. We should absolutely keep moving, go to the gym, see our medical professionals, be happy we can still do a lot of things but you will have to tone it down.
I see people usually men out training hard. Guys in what looks like they are middle aged. Kind of a misnomer I suppose because if one kakcked at 44, you were middle aged at 22ish. Anyway they often don’t look like they are having fun. Pain face and shit. Too busy trying hard to smile and have a chat. What are they trying to prove? It’s like an athletic equivalent to a comb over. (I haven’t used a comb in 35 plus years) Don’t get me wrong I think we should all push hard as it’s good for us. Don’t be ashamed or make excuses for lesser performance. We’re old. Or getting old and you can’t change that. Do so with dignity.
You young folks. Grow that hair long while you have it. Do stupid shit now because you can heal better when you’re young but also remember that injuries may come back to haunt you in your old age. We look down the trail to see what’s ahead, we should do that in life too. But not too much as you have to live now as well.
