I'm not quite 50 but I think I have a good handle on how to keep ahead of that.
1. I'd always rather be sore from doing all the work than sore from breaking down and disuse, so typically that keeps me pretty motivated.
2. Learn to love the process and incremental improvement resulting from daily consistency rather that some fixed future goal. i.e. love learning, improving, small gains and being coachable.
It's the little gains that drive daily consistency which is the key to growth over the long term. When people focus on some big distant external goal (i.e. lose 20lbs) it can hard for that to translate into daily rewards and satisfactions.
3. Consistency>intensity over the long run.
