I just turned 80 November 11 and learned to “move it or lose use of it”. I’m in physical therapy to improve my balance and walking, I ride my exercise bike, and do stretches. And I started using fiber soluble and insoluble (2-3 times a day). U do U, nobody else can or will. God bless you all and never give up.

My big struggle is finding the new reasonable me. I remember exercising when I was younger and I fight with myself over what are reasonable expectations for me now. I tend to injure myself. I try and remember something Arnold Schwarzenegger said - I’m paraphrasing but it was to the effect that when students complained to him about the slow 6 week start to their body building journey he would tell them that the 6 weeks will pass anyway so do they want to be getting stronger or injured at the end of them?
