Good on ya. Feels great, doesn’t it? I’m doing similar in my 70’s, except I jog/run 2-3 miles 2-3 days a week during 3 seasons, skip most of summer. I have some free weights, chin bar and a skipping rope (*pant*pant*). I’ve slowed a bit on the weights and pushups, need to pick up the pace there.

Many unfortunate folks have injuries or other issues that preclude this level of exercise, we have to remember that, bless them. And we could join them any time.

I hear ya. Inevitably it will become physically impossible to do what I do now. Prob still be able to do movement patterns but not much losd ie push self out of a chair, close and open a csr door, put a light box on a shelf cupboard. But pullups will eventuslly be too much. Hopefully still row a boat ( my old man was still rowing often in his 80’s. Still walking up a hill, but unloaded etc. Stay active as long as possible. The guy in the articles mum is doing great to do a pullup at 76 with tearing her cuffs

I’m 68 and do a variety of things, including some weights, bicycle, good ol floor exercises, and running (but when rainy or cold I spend time on the antique nordictrack ski machine).
