    My grandad said the same thing 'use it or you lose it' He had a stroke at 90 and just when they said he wouldn't walk again.... he did 6 months later! Against the odds, he just kept pushing. At 93 he fell and broke his pelvis, they said no chance of walking again... 6 months later he did!!! What a guy. I RUINED all the ligaments in my ankle in a work incident.... 48 and still going aerobic! Back running and cycling- winning/losing its all about attitude 😉

    My mom just passed away this last weekend, frail, decrepit and only 6 months older than Lew at 91. The last time i remember my mom exercising she was 32 and chasing my little brother down the street to spank him. Lew moves like a 40 year old. He's my template for the future - gonna keep moving, get across the finish line, push through hard things.

      @AL Light Jogging up-to 3km is good, this routine may be continued till 100 years of age.
      But legs , arms, waist, shoulders , neck and all other organs stretching after jogging or exercise is as much essential as everything.

I hit the gym everyday for one hour , get up early and meditate , eat twice a day , do a 16 hour intermittent fasting and feel like I am on top of the world .. can’t wait to be his age and think to myself what is next for the next 30 years ..!
