How well do you move?

[CallMeKate]

That noted, in a decade or two will be no better off than others and none of us will be around in 5 decades.

Now hold on there, mister! I'll only be 115 in five decades... speak for yourself! @David777

I walk very well.. I'm a fast walker, and I can still run,.. not that I want to, but I can, and I can still run downstairs which I do almost daily.... not so easy running upstairs.. but I'm very active . I swim when I get the chance.. and when I'm over at the other house that's morning and night every day.

The problem I have is that I have a painful right knee. and tho' I walk well and fast.. it can give out at any time and cause me pain , sometimes that can be as little as a mile.. other times I can walk all day without any problem at all..... . I'm 67

Yes, I feel the same as I did in my 40's.
My angels are watching over me and
protecting me, but I don't know why!

82. Still move like a gazelle, of course. An old gazelle, but a gazelle nevertheless

Probably walk a few miles a day at work but use the elevator if there's something needed on the second floor. Stairs are hard because I have a trick knee. Don't run because there's no need.

If you saw me walking across a parking lot or in a store, you'd say I move normally. But I really have to limit myself, or I'll start to hurt. Sometimes I feel like I'm hobbling.

Pretty well. Little aches and pains are creeping in if I don't stay moving.

I'm 70 with long legs, a life time walker.Every morning I walk down 3 flights of stairs outside to take my 1st walk of the day. I have arthritis in both knees,partial right knee{ had surgery in 2004} .The days I can't go {due to weather} I try to walk up/downstairs to basement a couple times. I try to keep moving as much as possible

I’m almost 70. Other than no longer being able to run or jog like I used to, there are no discernible changes in my gait. I’m tall and have long legs, so I can cover a lot of ground when I walk!

I was an athlete as a kid, did some modeling in my teens and learned really good posture, took up ballroom dancing in my 50’s and still do that. I believe all that has contributed to being able to move well and easily as I’ve aged. I also take a variety of supplements targeting my joints, muscles and skeletal system, and I think that helps. I have some arthritis in my hip, knee and shoulder, but moving helps that too.

What about you? How well do you move?

70, tall, long legs. I stay moving every day, helps my osteoarthritis a lot.
