You mean like when my son hooked a gate post with the swather on a corner?

The words " jump" and the word "run" have become a totally new concept and now have almost a totally new meaning.

 

[Mykolaivka887]

you loose muscle mass and bone density.

lifting heavy things regularly can turn that around.....just do it.

And she'll like it too ....

At 60 I am less physically able ,a lot wiser and much more careful. I cant get myself out of some situations with my stamina , strength and balance any longer. So I try to use my wisdom of 50 years in the outdoors to stay out of trouble. Most importantly to limit injuries. I don't bounce back or heal as quickly as I used to. I’ ll be danged if I’m going stop pursuing my outdoor activities and I dont care to be on the sidelines for an injury.

This is me. Well said.

A well conceived strength/fitness & nutrition program will help you prevent injuries.

I think it is very important to be trim and strong as you age.

I would agree with this. I think the most important thing is to stay mobile and as flexible as possible. I think we could do a lot worse than do a daily yoga routine as we age.

Longer recover times, but still better than doing nothing.

I also agree, well stated. You have to be more careful and thoughtful because one mishap could take you months to recover from.

You just get weaker, so much you can literally feel it in your bones.

I have a friend in his late 80s. He said up until your early to middle 80s, you can keep up with your strength. After that if you miss a day of exercise you go to square one and start over.

I can believe it, at 60 it is hard too pick up if your miss a couple of days of exercise. It is like starting at the beginning.

Cant find the DISLIKE button for (post holes by hand) I just started getting my cow feed in 50 lb bags. 100s were hurting my pride.

Discovered that at 61 this is my last year of doing no pre-season prep for sheep hunting. The first few days sucked!

I can relate, don’t really miss my hair but my balance is another story.
