Message: [QUOTE="History Geek, post: 3814137, member: 4345"] 57 years old. Im 6’3”. Former offensive lineman whose weight topped out at 250 during playing days. Stayed active after that (occasional running, Nordic Trac, skiing, pick up hoop, etc). Weight has fluctuated the past 25 years between 225-235. Started running 5Ks in my early 40s. ACL reconstruction/meniscus tears/arthritis has caught up with my knees this past year. Fixed up my road bike once covid hit and started doing weekly 20-25 milers with a group. Love it. Family got an Eschelon bike too. No more high impact stuff for me any more. Moral of the story: Muscles may stay stronger longer if you exercise but connective tissue still ages at the same rate. Getting/staying active is better than being a slug, but but listen to your body. [/QUOTE]
