[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was the issue?  Do you need to lighten the load and lose weight, increase flexibility through yoga, strength train, etc.? Maybe all of those. You have to be able to keep up with the kids if you can. Go at their pace, not force them to slow down to yours.

As for the botox, i think there are a lot lessons in beauty standards, women's health, and body autonomy you can teach your impressionable teens that will serve them well in life[/quote]

I don’t agree with this. Being 60 has its limitations and it’s silly to expect a 60 year old woman to be able to keep up in terms of fitness and stamina with 16 year old kids. It’s great the OP is going on hiking trip with the kids. It’s a great experience for all, but instead of trying to catch up with teens, it’s an opportunity to teach them to be mindful of different persons abilities. But trying to increase flexibility and stamina to be able to catch up with teens is just not realistic.[/quote]

Agreed.  I feel like the PP fixated on the “kids” part and missed the “teens” part.  Teenagers are generally the fittest, fastest, and most active humans.  It’s unrealistic to try to keep up with them, even if you’re in your 30’s.[/quote]
