"I barely felt a difference physically from 30 to 50. Ever
since then, decline!"

Michael, I'll be 57 in less than a month, and yeah, this
past year has truly been the first year of "yeah, I can't
do that anymore". The decline is/has been minor, but it's
definitely there and I grudgingly have to acknowledge it.

I'm 57 as well, and I started hiking and doing basic
neighborhood walks in my late twentiess/early thirties to
prevent my back from going out. I love to hike because it
gets me outside after being inside all week for work, and
my back pain does not return as long as I do it at least
once a week. I am lucky that there are some amazing trails
in the city. And two of my favorite hikes in Malibu and
Topanga Canyon are a relatively short drive to feel like
you aren't in the city at all.
I think if you want exercise to stick, it has to be doing
something you enjoy. Gyms hold no appeal for me, so this
has been a great solution. I guess I was "lucky" to have
back pain at a young age!
