[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now that I’m in my late 40s, I’m super cautious about getting hurt. So I go slower or lift less or just walk on a day where I am starting to feel twingy or suspect I might need a break.[/quote]

I don't feel "old" at 47, but I'm definitely mindful of hurting myself. I switched gyms because I was tired of getting hurt. My days of box jumping are over. My new gym specifies "no jumping" on their site and it's mostly women in their 40s-60s. Classes are still challenging and effective, but we don't do much that could injure us. And I have no problem just saying "nope" when the instructor shows us something that looks risky to me. Like if everyone's doing hard burpees I'll just stay down in a plank or something.

When I was at the other gym, I'd say about once every 2 months I'd hurt something. Nothing serious, but enough where I would feel pain (not just exercise soreness) for a few days. I work out to feel strong and healthy, not so that I have to hobble around for days afterward. I generally do 4 days a week at the gym and other days, I just take walks.[/quote]
