OT: How do you old guys stay in competitive shape?

[the Q]

I played a lot of racquetball as a teenager back in the 80's. But the courts are all gone now. I don't even know where they have them anymore. It was great exercise, better than anything I've done other than beach volleyball. I wold worry about my knee holding up.

Starting a very restricted diet today, for the next 3 weeks. Might resume it after my short trip to New Orleans.

Honestly man, unless you are trying to do legit competitions, just do an 80/20 for your diet and you’ll be fine.

Has never worked for me in over 30 years of trying. I pretty much need a very rigid diet or I will go off of it. Once I drop the pounds, I have some plans for keeping them off. But if I don't track calories every day I gain.
