How old are you? How old do you FEEL?

[Marplot]

I feel 35 going on 80 unless I look in the mirror.

Watching "The Man That Fell to Earth." A man telling his friends that he was a cro-magnon and was 14,000 years old. Absolutely worth a watch! Sort of believable.

6'1" 225 lbs 60 yrs old but feel like 70.
31 yrs in the drywall trade and I have been putting off double knee replacement

Do the knee replacement. Do the physical therapy. You will love your new legs! I know. I have heard there is a machine that you can use daily to get the therapy easier.

I'm not sure how old I "feel". I'm 46. I am 6' 4" and weigh 270#. In the past five years i've noticed my metabolism has slowed way down. Used to be able to really put the food away and not gain a pound. Five years ago I was 255#, now fluctuate between 270-275# I do know that in the last 3ish years I've noticed more aches and pains and healing takes longer. I've had both knees scoped, L4-L5 discectomy in the last 10 years and here a couple weeks ago had my right shoulder scoped (instead of a replacement like the doc wanted to do). They removed a bone spur, removed the bursa sac, cleaned up a labral tear and released the long head of the bicep tendon (tenotomy). Zero cartilage in my shoulder. Don't get me wrong with this post, I still get out and hammer. It's just not like it used to be. I guess the term "getting old sucks" applies here LOL

Turned 52 in June, started making some changes for the better in February. I'm still working on me, but mentally I don't feel much different than I did in my 20's. Physically, I'll never be 20 again, I have a fused right ankle from a spiral fracture of my Tibia and Fibula on 29 Sept, 2015.

Here is a little of my story and what I'm doing to improve my situation:

I'm 71 and if I had known that I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of my body.

36, 510, 210, been working out pretty hard, stronger but didn't lose the weight between chubby and fit. Back of a 70 year old according to doctors thanks to the usmc. Just joining the b×××× fest. Some days are better then others. Definitely feel on the older spectrum vs age.

Almost 72…… Much better shape than many my age, but not nearly as good as I'd like to be. 6' 0" 197 lbs

Lots of aches and pains (mostly knees), 2 back surgeries (one a fusion), and a pretty hard day of work will leave me with lots of muscle soreness.

It seems that I start a little workout routine every year, only to quit after a month or two. If I would stay with my little exercise regiment and do some stretching/flexibility exercises ……I'd be in muc( better shape than I am presently! memtb

Funny, you should mention that my wife and I just priced a used golf cart today.

My mother-in-law had to use one of them right after surgery kind of like a bicycle that sits on the floor and you strap your feet to the pedals and it continuously moves your legs.

66 years old.....Messed up a shoulder last week. Heading towards 12 weeks of therapy. Prior to that I was doing great.

59 in October 5' 8" 200#, but feel younger due to can do so many things better than people 20, 30 and 40 years younger. 15 years of relentless pain only deters my abilities! 8 years ago when my son was at football practice I hopped/skipped down the bleacher stairs arriving to the bottom rail and pommel horsed over the rail, then did the same at the chest high chain link fence that was 2 steps away after the rail. had to tell my son something and when he came over to me he repeated what the athletic director/head football coach said to him, "is that your dad"? now if my kids had that type of agility they would take after me! btw, all 5 sons and me suck at basketball, but my 1 and only daughter has the skills for it (didn't get that from me for sure).

I'm 50.
Depends on if it's AM or PM, as to how old I feel.
