What age did you start feeling old?

What VR headset do you have mate?

Meta Quest 3. Thrill of the Fight 2 is a great workout if you're interested.

When I was younger a hot sunny day was for the beach and a rainy day meant sport could be called off.

I knew I was old once a sunny day is a good clothes drying day and rain is good for the garden.

I think you realise you are old when you look around a room & suddenly realise that YOU are meant to be the responsible adult in the room, when did this happen???
It’s when you sit on the floor & have to think about getting up, the sports injuries hit harder now, you have to think about which knee is stronger & which one tends to give out more.
I try not to dwell on getting old & just enjoy whatever time I have.
I like a quote that is attributed to Mark Twain,
“Do not regret growing old, it is a privilege denied to many.”

I remember in high school I worked out that I’d be 39 at the turn of the century and thought that’s ancient, I’m never gonna make that lol.

A few days ago I was describing a random situation to my daughter and said; "this old bloke was doing....paused and thought about it.. he was probably about my age".

You need to keep using it or you will lose it man, start slow and build yourself up to an acceptable level for your age, sometimes I don't feel like doing anything, that's when the power of the mind needs to kick in.

thanks mate - it is on the cards - getting out there doing it is another thing - planned for long walks already around Doony or the Blacktown International Sports Park and probably more fishing 😁

 

[pawsandclaws1]

The word "manage" becomes important for pre-existing and new injuries😁. I'll leave you with this proverb - everything old is new again.

 

[NT_Tiger]

Another proverb, this one from East Africa; The man who charges the world at a zebras gallop, winds up at the pace of a chameleon.

About 55,when you get off the couch and walk into the kitchen or another room and wonder why your there .LOL

 

[Halbrowne61]

I think when I retired and left the daily grind. I try and keep active but both knees really struggling, and the old grey matter is getting a bit confused.
But what can you do ? And as the Chinese say “ don’t die twice “.

 

[Tiger_heart]

Let's just say I am now the guy that a party yells out "Turn that racket down.." ;-)

Nothing more can be done unfortunately except for whatever exercise I can do to keep muscle atrophy to a minimum. I do some hydro, though I could always do with more.

Further surgery would only restrict my movement further as a spinal fusion is the only option left on the plate & I have met people who have regretted getting that done.

Had a mate who had his ankle fused, regretted it ever since

Some time after turning 50 I started getting injuries while sleeping. I go to bed feeling fine, wake up with a sore knee. Earlier this week woke up and couldn't turn my head to the left, getting old sucks

Winter can be like that. You sleep in the wrong position and you wake up sore.

Never trust anyone over 30 was the 1960s mantra!!!
