I’m 48 now, and yeah, I am starting to notice it.

Motivation is starting to become a problem now too. It’s almost like I’m giving up - it’s like a car - you take car of it for so long and then it starts getting old and you just can’t keep up with everything it needs. Only difference...I can’t trade myself in, I need to get back on track.

At 67I do not have the energy or strength to do what I could do at 25.

At 57 my lungs tell me they are not what they used to be from the asthma problems.

 

[Chris142]

Yes. I have a hard time getting up from a creeper. I also need light to work on cars. Did not need it in the past.

At 67 years old I can say all the bad stuff is true.

Two years ago at age 62 - I was doing some logging reclamation work and the 20 something workers were tossing 60 pound logs around like toothpicks and I was carefully maneuvering to avoid back injury. By 11 am, I had to sit down and catch my breath. Tortoise and the hare type of thing. But, it was then that I really came to the realization that the stamina and strength of younger days was kaput.

Mental capacity is waning also. Get up and walk into a room and forget why you went there, LOL.

Well, I was going to make a comment but I forgot what I wanted to say.

Everyone told me the wheels start to really fall off at 75 and they might be right. Having my Ring doorbell catch me as I totter out to my door is really frightening. Still exercise everyday though, three days missed in six years. Miss the gym but trudge around my daughter's parking lot with her family.

My Grandfather used to say "getting old is the pits, but the alternative is worse".

I also need light to work on cars. Did not need it in the past.

I'm the same way.

Yes my eyes aren't what they used to be. Need glasses to read almost everything that is small print and good lighting as well.

I am 56. Despite almost 40 years of shift work, I am doing well. I was a former collegiate weight lifter, and I still pump iron to this day. I am easily stronger than most 25 year olds. Still have 20/20 vision (no glasses!) but hearing is slightly decreased.

I can run just fine, but I am slower and less flexible than I was. I have lost some stamina. Skin is good, almost no wrinkles, teeth are perfect.

If it doesn't hurt it doesn't work!

I hope you lift safely. I personally know several people who blame excessive weight lifting as the reason their joints went severely downhill in later years.

Congrats of maintaining your good health. It's a struggle for me.

My eyes started to go downhill right at 40 and everything slowly followed. Now at 49 I'm heavier than I've ever been, and motivation to make positive life changes is very hard to come by. 2020 in general has been pretty bleak which isn't helping either.

Im 57 now and have had some slowing the past few years. I don't bounce back from injuries as well as I used to. Just this morning getting dressed I tripped over our cat and fell. My Wife woke up and thought I had a heart attack. She only saw me laying on the ground at the foot of the bed. When I told her about the cat she started laughing. Said the cat has been getting under her feet too.

Yup, 67 and the mind says yes to some things but the body says No,, changing oil now is a task, getting harder to get up from under the car.
