What a great post! I'm gonna be 56 next mo!!! How did that happen? I'm a long way from being strong or really active, but.... I'm way more active the last several years than the previous 50.

It's been really fun finally learning to push my body a bit to get stronger. I hope I can continue being active for a very long time.

I have learned it is so important at this age to never slow down. I'm afraid if I stop, I might not be able to start again.

I have relatives in their early 60s. They are totally inactive and overweight with diabetes. They would be so much more fun if we could do active things with them. I worry about their health. I guess they are good motivation to take care of myself and stay healthy and active. But so sad for them.
