[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 50.  I spent the past weekend babying my knee because I did something to it to make it stiff and sore.  That NEVER used to happen to me.  And thankfully it rarely happens now.

But, yeah, my body is aging.  I do not think I'm elderly but I am not in my youth anymore.

People who insist that they feel the same at 50 as they did at 20 either have extremely poor memories or they are kidding themselves.  Or they were pretty darned stiff and decrepit at 20....[/quote] You are wrong.  We are people who are active--all of the time, not just weekend warriors.  I am in much better shape at 55 than I was 20 years ago.[/quote]

O.k.  Then maybe it is fair to say that you were a bit on the decrepit side when you were younger but have since gotten yourself into good shape for a 55 year old.

As for me, I remember what it took to get into shape at 35 after my first was born.  If I compare what I have to do now to get into similar shape....ugh.  I just don't think that'll be happening.

It doesn't mean that I'm falling apart at 50 or that I'm "old".  But my peri menopausal body is not the same body that it was at 35.  And it sure as heck ain't the same lithe, flexible body I had 20.[/quote]
