I am 52, though I think I am 25 and back in the disco years. Our bodies start wearing out usually long before our mind does. You know how sometimes your eyes are bigger than your belly and you eat too much? Sometimes we think we can do more than our bodies are physicially capable of. Like snow shoveling...do things a little bit at a time, not all at once. And have a gin & tonic in between...and let somebody else do the work. You deserve the rest after all these years.

I'm 46 and my body screams at me everyday! I hope I can make it to 70! be glad your mind is still working as well as it is! Hell, I have brain farts all the time! some days I can't even remember what I had for breakfast!

Awww, I know just what you mean. Remember the old saying, "The mind is willing but the body is weak"? Our bodies just start to fail us at a certain point. But that brain is way sharper than any kid's. Your experience in life is more important than being able to run a marathon.

The mind is eternally young. The body is not. You are just going to have to take it slower and modify your daily task list.

i think it just comes from 70 years of body use. There are some supplements you can take to make your body feel better. Also stretches too that can help you be more limber. Check wwith your doctor first!

You must let go of the egos perception that you must do everything that you mind wants. Look up Jack Lalanne's web site for inspiration and guidance.
