I’m 87 and no -one believes it. Weigh 116, everything works and nothing hurts, was doing 14-minute miles on the treadmill five days a week until the idiot governor closed the gyms for covid.

Now I have a cardiologist. First time ever needed one. He told me there was a big uptick in heart problems when the gyms were closed. My goal and his is to get me back to those 14-minute miles five days a week.

My MD and my cardiologist both think I can live to be 100. I’m definite hoping so. I have great friends, lots of fun, and a young cat who should not get dumped at the humane society.

Yep, I am greatly motivated to stick around at least as long as my pet birds are still chirping.

That’s great. As the Romans used to say, “Ad multos annos!” (To many years!).

Buy a treadmill for home use. Much cheaper than cardiologist
And hospital bills. I am 83 and the treadmill is keeping me away from doctors, none of whom tell me to use treadmill.

That is me doing treadmill with 1 lb wrist weights.
I have gained new muscles in my 80’s.

Our three cats motivate us to keep on keeping on. Just in case, though, my niece has agreed to be their new mom if anything happens to us. It’s in our will, and she’ll be well compensated. She doesn’t know that part, though; she just loves cats.
