Yoga is good for that 40+ range. Easy on the joints, you can go at your own pace, and it addresses reducing flexiblity and joint health. All at once. You have to get over our culture's associations regarding Yoga but it's worth doing. I had never realized how much core strength and flexibility I had lost due to normal aging until I started yoga a couple of times a week. I hear you on how much harder it is to be able to do half of what we used to do before. I'm 41 and even with ~4 hours a week of martial arts and a couple more hours of stretching and yoga I'm still constantly fighting to stay level. I don't heal like I did before which is a real issue for me now. I get all bruised up in the dojo, the bruises stick around for weeks, and then gravity turns my ankles purple. That never happened 10 years ago. It's even more telling to stand across from a 19 year old who only knows being strong and fast. My diet isn't the greatest, I drink too much, and I sleep like crap. So there are those things too. Sounds like we have similar builds. I'm 5-10 and my body likes to hover around 215. |
