  Stay active and stretchy. Go join a pilates / yoga club.

  Seriously, It’s been nuts watching friends / in laws / hubs grumping about farting wrong and throwing their backs out, meanwhile i actually broke my back a few years back and am older and don’t have issues.

  (I also did gymnastics for years. Can’t do a full floor routine no mo but can still very easily roundoff / cartwheel/back arch as i barrel to my 50’s)

    Normally I’m quite active, but recent issues have sidelined me. My current exercise regimen is limited to walk and bike rides. Yoga isn’t a bad idea. I was doing it for 3 years (started during lockdowns) and gave up due to lack of time.

      Small but fun thing to make you go “fuck” - sit on your couch.

      Now get up without using your hands.

      It’s amazing how our own laze sneaks up on us.

        Hahaha…I do that all the time. Thankfully my core is pretty strong so I can usually do it…with a lot of grunting of course.

        When picking things up on the floor, keep one leg straight, and lift the other one behind you (also straight) while bending at the waist.

        Kids make fun of me, but honestly little challenges like that add up over a long time.

        For me lockdown and worsening health issues/medical neglect undid all of the progress I’d made through physio.

        Maybe if I can work out a way to get enough calories in and actually get my blood pressure managed I can go back to physio

        One good test of overall fitness/mobility is to sit cross legged on the floor and then get up without using your hands :)

      why? No one’s gonna focus on you, they’re gonna focus on not farting

  I hear ya. I’m fully expecting to throw my shoulder out while shaking my fist at those dang neighbourhood kids to get off my lawn!

  Very late 40s now and I’m falling apart at an alarming rate…

    Recovery takes so long for the mildest of things now. Only upside is lack of caring and needing less sleep.

      Maybe if you were sleeping more, you would recover quicker :P

        I did have my iron levels done earlier this year. They were good…can’t recall the number though.

        My sleep is actually okay. I just wake up refreshed after about 6 hours. Really hard to get more. Even if I have some weed I get maybe 7.

        I’ll talk to my GP about iron next time. Thanks for the tip 😁

  I was walking to the bathroom from the kitchen and apparently this angered my spine.

  It made its displeasure known quite loudly.

    Let that be a lesson to you. Don’t walk ever again!!
