At what point do adults shun regular exercise?

Basketball score board
Day to day, do you keep score?

 

It dawned on me last night as we watched the High School basketball game – many of the parents were athletes when they were in high school.

Every athlete on the floor last night played with lightning-fast reflexes and boundless energy.

At what point do adults shun regular exercise?

Why?

And what would their world be like if they didn’t?

Age-related symptoms become more frequent

Back in 2008 (old Disney Institute logo) when i wore sunglasses and contact lenses. Our son (now 17) has grown about two feet since this photo.

 

In the past year or so, i can’t tell if i’m tired or if my eyes are simply drier than normal, and does the dryness create an effect that mimicks being tired?

Dry eye syndrome or keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) is something i just Googled. Probably something else since the inflammation and redness aren’t symptoms.

This article was informative.

Are you astonished at how fit you are?

Festive social gathering at night
Nothing wrong with a late night out. Late nights inherently make early mornings a chore. Mornings are the best chance for an early personal victory called exercise.

 

Are you astonished at how fit you are (today) at your age?

What if you were?

You don’t realize how strong you were until you stop

Random photo from 2016 visit.

 

You don’t realize how strong you were until you stop.

A left shoulder injury two months ago, cause unknown, has eliminated several key upper-body exercises, namely pullups and pushups.

In just 60 days, i can feel the atrophy.

Now, imagine if the atrophy was from two years instead of two months.

Or how about two decades.

One of the million reasons we need to find our motivation to stay strong.

Modify to mitigate, no?

well water
Last night, this was on my mind.

 

Many of the common aging ailments might be mitigated if we modified our habits

Waking in the middle of the night to pee? Don’t drink anything past dinner time.

Not yourself in Spring? Perhaps allergy injections, versus over the counter medicine or a doctor visit when it gets severe

Awaken in the middle of the night? Stop caffeine use by 3pm.
