Less energy, can’t handle a trip out without sitting down. All this stuff, it becomes harder and harder as we age. Why?

I don’t have an answer. But I can tell you that you can fight it. I took up cycling as a Covid sanity measure when I was 60. I’ve since lost 25-30 lbs and I’m regularly riding 20-40 miles rides in a mountainous area. I have more energy and more stamina than I did 4 years ago.

However, my recovery time takes longer than it did a few years ago and feel more muscle pain… you can slow father time but you can never beat him.
