How many of you are in there forties? have you notice it harder to do things like climb trees, going over fence, jumping a creek. I just dont move like I use to . My mind says I can do it but my body lets me down . lol

[Tmag]

You are in for even more when you hit 50 KS.

My mind just won't listen to my body. My mind still thinks I am 18. Body is winning the battle. 49. This over the hill aint so bad I am just coasting.

I have been very heavy all my life. In the last year and a half I have lost 75lbs after hitting 325. I still need to lose more but I have more energy than I have ever had. I do things all the time that I have never been able to do. I used a tree climber stand for the first time last season. I jump up in the bed of a truck without thinking about it now. Getting in & out of the bass boat is much easier. Practicing with a bow has built my shoulder muscles. I turn 50 in November.

Yes I found for aches 7 pain and stiffness there is stuff calls guclosimine or some think like that Wal*mart

It like WD40 for the joints When I don't take it I feel it whenI take it I can workout without aches & pains


Your joints need lube So learn to take them daily It takes about week and you will loosen up


When you get old first the eyes go

then the plumbing

When I turned 40 it started to go downhill. At 44 my shoulder thought it could shoot 78 pounds, but it was wrong! (torn rotator cuff) But, I am tough so I did it any way. Mind over matter. Turn off the pain (great, there went the other rotator cuff).
45, I got a shot in the right shoulder, the worse of the two. Now I can draw a bow, but I won't bother with 78 lbs. anymore.

On the climbing the fence issue, I can still get up there, it's coming down that sux. When I land my knees just can't take it.

When I get out of bed in the morning I have to stand there a few minutes to get everything unstuck - knees, ankles, shoulders, back.

I have to keep remembering that it's better than not getting out of bed. One old time told me "Every day above ground is a good day."

I've found it's easier to stay in shape than it is to get in shape at this age (41).

I am suprised at the number of people who don't realize round is a shape.

[Lung Pumper]

I stay very active and Jog 3 times a week ! But my inner tube belly line always greets me everyday ! 45 and feeling the joints easing up on me.
I'll keep going as long as there is a hunting season !

Hitting 44 in two weeks and "not much" of a difference at all. I think my mind has not sent the signal yet...."you ain't 28".....which is fine with me! I definitely need to loose 20 pounds this summer and start taking some kind of vitamins.

LMAO.....you're a shape alright.

40 is knocking on the door LOUDLY. You guys sure ain't making me feel any better about it.

[Phdan]

to me. you're still young!

Amen

Post 50 is a world of Ladderstands, Tripods, Box Blinds, and Ground Blinds.

Hang ons are just gathering dust.
