What keeps you going to get/stay fit at an older age?

I would like to know what keeps all of you going in terms of fitness at an older age. Countless people just give up and stay as comfortable as possible in the later years by neglecting any kind of physical activity since it requires a lot of effort.

When you look around, you can read and hear all the talk about going downhill when you hit 60. Apparently we cannot recover from exercise easily anymore and we lose muscle and gain weight. Our bones become brittle and our joints ache.

I would like to prove these voices wrong and show that decline is not inevitable. That is the reason I exercise and improve my health as much as possible.

What motivates you?

Money and longevity, it night prove crazy at the end, who knows, in any given era?

it’s pretty good if you have a dog because you are motivated by being unable to live with the guilt if you don’t take it for a walk every day!

Dog walks are an amble, not a cardio work out, but, better than doing nowt.

I can relate to that! :dog2:

Being a physical jerk keeps me fit :rofl:
