[quote=Anonymous]I get very frustrated that I have a sore back once in a while. I am overweight, though, and I attribute it to that more than age. I know so many women, including my mom, who are so active into their 50s, 60s, and 70s. So my goal is to lose a little weight and get a little fitter. Baby steps here. And I just read that weight lifting, which I've done most of my life, but not recently, is really good for women to help stave off the inability to do ADLs much later in life. My mom at 75 is still very active, although she pulls things and tears things much more often. I wonder if adding weight lifting would have helped lessen that. So honestly, my goal is just to stay in good physical condition now. My face? The aging part? Spots, some lines, all that. Nothing I can really do about that. But I want to keep moving around well.
