[quote=Anonymous]Yes! When my parents were in their EARLY 50s, they intentionally moved to be in a ranch style house so there wouldn't be stairs for when they got old. But that meant that way too soon they were not walking up and down stairs on a daily basis. And they don't work out - it's just never been a mindset for them. My mom will walk with friends, but they pick a flat route and go so slow. Better than nothing, but still. I think that generation just was never taught how important strength training is, especially for women. Personally, I do have a real tendency to being sedentary. All of my favorite things to do are quiet, still things. But I do make strength training 4-5 times a week a priority and I track my steps to get 6000-8000 a day. Not easy in the suburbs with a driving commute. [/quote]
