[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dad is 66. He still works and drives his motorcycle, but is not athletic. He never did any sport and while he is not fat and eats healthy, he is starting to slow down. Had shoulder surgeries a few years ago and never regained complete shoulder movement.

Mom is 65 and still works as a consultant, but not full time. She has always been very active and is still exercising regularly (jogging, group exercise, HIIT, swimming, etc). She is also thin and 100% capable to take care of my young kids.

Overall they are doing great, but are still young. My grandfathers lived to 80 and 85 and my grandma lived to 93 (other grandma is still alive at 97). Fingers crossed that my kids and I will have any more happy years with them.

MIL is 79 and FL is 81. They are both doing well considering their age. FL is very sedentary and MIL is much more active still. I thikk no their minds are not what they were anymore [/quote]

My parents are mid 60s and both still work part time. My dad has been overweight his whole life (by a lot at times) but has stayed active and busy no matter what. Mom is thin and exercises but is starting to have some joint problems. They are both amazing with my kids, but could probably not handle watching them for multiple days. Both of them are a testament to the power of just staying active any way you can, especially my dad.

My ILs are a little older and don’t work. My FIL does some exercise and is in reasonably good shape, MIL has some significant medical issues but has never been active and has no energy at all any more. I don’t know how things would be with out the pandemic but they do very very little and rarely leave their house. I don’t know if that’s going to change, my husband worries about them a lot.
