Message: [QUOTE="uconndogs, post: 3817817, member: 57"] I totally get the concerns around the pounding from running and I've been playing hoops for years 2-3 times a week. At 61 I realized I needed to find other forms of cardio activity. I didn't cut out the running and hoops, but I've curtailed them and I have to say I feel a lot better. The bike was a huge find for me, as was xcountry skiing. I get on the rower a bit in the winter as well, but don't enjoy that as much. I also stopped lifting weights as I was constantly hurting myself (shoulders mostly) and I've gone to resistance stuff, mostly push-ups. I feel a lot better from that as well. I think especially as you get older you have to be realistic about what your body can withstand in terms of impact. But you have to keep moving and find the right stuff. [/QUOTE]
