i know i am old

[cuznjohn]

well yesterday i went to pick up the part i had painted for the bike, the vertika lower vent i lost on my first ride of the season. it was a beautiful day out and i was riding with my face shield up and my windshield down because i was enjoying the wind in my face. we did about 95 miles and when i got home i put the vent on the bike than cleaned up the house a lil. well last night and this morning i feel like i have fought a 10 round fight with mike tyson. i will be 63 in july and after working construction for over 35 years by body is shot and i hate getting old, but i guess it beats being dead

You got that right :thumbup: When someone used to ask my Dad how he was, he'd always answer "Still on the right side of the turf"

 

[Chupaca]

Still standing..!!

got a few years on you and can tell you if you slow down it catches up to you. Back surger and nerve damage to the leg slowed me down and I get tired really fast now. So now when lounging I swing around a couple of 8lb weights to help. Its a bandaid but helps me think I'm active..then I go for a ride and forget who what and where I am...gotta love the open road on a roadster...:clap:hyea:hyea:

 

[cuznjohn]

i tell everyone when they ask, how are you, i say I AM DEAD BUT TOO STUPID TO LAY DOWN

 

[Chupaca]

Yeah..!!

i tell everyone when they ask, how are you, i say I AM DEAD BUT TOO STUPID TO LAY DOWN

And I would have to get better to die..!! :roflblack:

I had the same problem, then I started an exercise routine. I power walk four miles every morning and Ryde every afternoon. I feel lots better after doing this for a year.

My wife doesn't like it, but I always joke that I am half dead. Of course the grandparents are making it or did make it into their 90's and still going so I'm not really quite half way yet.

I try to exercise 6 days per week, 2 of those being strength training. It has really helped how I feel.

If it don't hurt it don't work.

As we get older here are some words to live by:

1. Never trust and email from any African country asking you to send them money so they can send you even more money.

2. Never ever trust a fart.

My grandpa died when he fell from a horse--age 89
my other grandpa got shot in his general store--age 72
my dad died when he decided to stop eating--age 101

me: I thought I went to heaven when I bought my spyder....but since I didn't I have to work hard to stay healthy.

Focus on what you CAN do; rather than what you can't! :2thumbs:

Read "Younger Next Year"

Excellent advice for those of us that can; doing both strength and cardio training. In cuznjohn's case that may not be possible.

I've downloaded Younger Next Year; I just have gotten around to reading it yet. Another good book, if your into strength and cardio training is Take Charge (Fitness at the Edge of Science).

With 2 bad knees it's hard to find good exercises to do, or to get motivated.
