You know you're old when...

I started doing a stretching routine. It feels great. I've never had to stretch before. Does this mean I'm in the club now?

I exercise 3 times a week. Mostly focusing on leg/knee exercises. Trying to ward off knee pain so I can take my 3 mile walk 6 nights a week. Squats, lunges, stair stepping, (all with weights) etc. Always end with 20 min. of stretching. Feels so good.

I'd guess you're in your forties? If so, then no, you're not in the club yet.

3 miles?!! That's nowhere even close to 10K steps a day!! Lol.

My body (back mostly) has all been jacked up since I got taken out from behind by an idiot on an e-bike. But maybe I should keep incorporating stretching.

So I guess not until I start working out so that I can stave off knee pain to walk 3 miles. Not there yet but it's good to know these metrics lol

I'm 67 so I think I'm doing pretty good. Some people on here (older than me) do more but I'm not trying to win a competition. Just stay youthful.

Love my walk at night. My favorite part of the day. I try to keep it brisk. Love the fresh air and love walking at night time.

You know what's funny? My favorite of all my cardios is when I just walk for 5-6 miles along the beach path. I do like going during the day as I can get my tan on while doing cardio but yeah, the night walks are quite lovely. You can hear the seals all out and about throwing up mating calls. Occasional whale or dolphin will come up and breach the water.

But walking gives me the opportunity to take in all the lovely scenery and also listen to podcasts or music or hop on a conference call lol

Walking at the beach every night, now that would be a dream come true.

What time do you go? I usually go around 9:30 pm.

Depends on the weather lol. Usually try to knock it out in the morning / before breakfast as I like to do my cardio while my body is in a state of fast.

But if I can't make it in the morning, I'll do it at night. Usually before or 30 mins after dinner.
Summer time late at night is amazing though. 9-10pm when there's less people out. Obviously sunset is nice as well.

Yep, that's the way I learned. Make it a song and we'll usually remember it.

M_Six · 03-28-2022, 05:42 PM

"Special Sauce" worked better in the song than Thousand Island Dressing.

^^^That's in an age where my Dad was earning $250/week and raising 5 kids on it. He was probably grumbling about the high cost of gas then, too.

We built a dune buggy from a kit in high school auto shop. The teacher kept it when we were done! We were cheap labor, but I did learn how to build a VW engine in that class.

My Mom would never have let us bring a VW engine into the house. There would have been a boxer rebellion.
