Not as Old as I Am

I just had my yearly wellness exam and the doctor said I was in better shape than most 60 year-olds he sees. That is always good to hear. People are always surprised when I tell them my age. I attribute this to exercising. I started exercising in earnest when I turned 40 mostly for weight control. I trained and competed in 5 triathalons and often ran 3-5 miles a day. Then my weight and aging and damaged knees (skiing can do a number) caught up with me and I had to stop running on a regular basis. Then I started riding my road bike as my major form of excercising. I try to ride to work every day March-October. I find this to be a great way to handle my stress. I wind down from work on my afternoon ride and gear up for work on my ride into work in the morning. During the winter months I take a spinning class 3-4 times a week. It has been hard to find something to do the other 3 days a week. I used to swim 1-2 times until my shoulder surgery. I was at a loss as to what to do. I tried and found that I can walk 30-45 minutes every other day and my knees can handle that OK. I hope to start swimming again as soon as my shoulder feels good enough. There is always a way to excercise every day if you are determined to find something thats works for you. Remember no matter what never give up.
