I recently turned fifty. Didn’t mean to. It just happened.
If you are young and able (and I know many readers of this email are) I highly recommend you stay healthy. Make health a priority. Do whatever you have to do. It makes a difference as you age.
Do not neglect physical activity as you age. Walk, swim, hike, or ride a bike. And, keep doing it.
Choose something you can keep doing as you age. I live next to a city park. I see older people walking, jogging, and biking all the time. I see none of them playing football. Some things you just age out of.
Just as saving money adds up over time, staying active also adds up.
Personally, I choose biking. I love biking, particularly mountain biking, though, I don’t ride on too many crazy trails anymore. I stick to pretty flat trails.
Biking is something you can keep doing as you age. Last week, I was looking through a list of bikes used on a mountainous race in Europe. The bikes impressed me. What impressed me more was the age of the racers:
The point is, keep moving. Find simple ways to move. Do it for the rest of your life. Stay healthy. You will be glad you did.
