Less energy, can’t handle a trip out without sitting down. All this stuff, it becomes harder and harder as we age. Why?
In: Biology
I was sort of a couch-potato for the first half of my life. I started walking in my 30s, as a way of getting some exercise and some general “outdoor time” with Mrs. 1LW.
Gradually, we increased the pace and distance. Now, in our 60s, we walk at a very brisk clip, non-stop, for at least 4-6 miles every single day… no exceptions. It’s not just good for your legs and your respiration; it’s good for your mental, emotional, circulatory and digestive health as well. And all your neighbors will know you, too.
And best of all, I feel far less tired, day to day, than I did 30 years ago. Something to think about…
