How lucky you are to be gifted with an iron constitution.
Do you get sport injuries, and how quickly do you heal? It may not sound much fun, but it really is a great way to start the day!

Tomorrow I will probably do an hour on the treadmill, and I always finish with plenty of stretching, it can be tedious, but it is very important.
Walter, a career in modeling for senior citizen health adverts awaits you -- but stay away from quickstep and jive. ![]() UK is top-heavy with pensioners supported by diminishing numbers of youngsters. Recession or not, the elderly will need to work for longer. A 100th birthday earns a card from Her Majesty, but this milestone is becoming commonplace now. |

Fortunately no, I really am very lucky. A guy at the gym tells me it is probably because I started so late in life. He is in his early 50's, has played sport all of his life, and tells me that he has loads of injuries. All I take daily, is a cod liver oil and glucosimine tablet for my joints. As I go to the gym 5 mornings a week I vary my exercises. This morning I spent an hour on the Cross Trainer, 10 minutes on the rowing machine, and finished off with some light weights and stretches. Tomorrow I will probably do an hour on the treadmill, and I always finish with plenty of stretching, it can be tedious, but it is very important.
It may not sound much fun, but it really is a great way to start the day! ![]() I'm with you, I absolutely love exercise, I do spinning 5 times a week, combat twice, zumba twice, visit the gym twice and do weights 4 times a week. I tell my friends about the buzz I get from exercise, often I'm just laughing and laughing from the endorphins, but they don't believe me.

I felt so humiliated that I gave it up. I have hung on to my tap shoes, as a reminder of the one thing that defeated me. This is just one reason why I have such respect for dancers, professional or amateur. |

Walter, reading of your exploits I am even more in awe.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us I have a rule that the older I get, the more I am going to do out of my comfort zone, otherwise your horizons shrink. That would be my advice to anybody. |

I feel a bit miffed because I'm in a category by a year! It's making me older than I am & I feel ancient.

I know the males represent a smaller sample (and therefore more prone to statistical error), but I find it quite interesting to compare the male and female age profiles: the females have a smooth peak at 40-49, whereas the males are pretty much the opposite, with a dip at 40-49.
Well, I find it interesting, anyway. Thanks to soulmate61 for an interesting poll! ![]() Waiting for the eightysomething male, then the set will be complete. |

Your interest is appreciated. Men are like VintageWine, they improve with age, and see the light of Dance post fortysomething?

Yes, I know just what you mean, some mornings it is an effort to drag myself to the gym. Two hours later, I practically skip out of there with all those endorphins pumping through my body, and such a sense of well being.

After taking Sir Winston Churchill's photo on his 80th birthday.....
Young photographer : "I look forward to taking another photo on your 90th birthday." Churchill: "I don't see why not young man, I don't see why not, you look hale and hearty." |

I hate answering this question when it crops up on surveys and insurance applications. But I must admit it's interesting to see the results!

Thanks Soulmate for setting up the poll and doing the analysis. Whilst the highest number of women are between the ages of 30-60 which you might find predictable, its interesting that the men are spread much more evenly across the ages, quite a large proportion being under 20.

How did you manage to get all those options soulmate?
When I did a poll I think it was 4 or 5 options allowed. |
