Quite happy capable to go up hills these days when out for a run - living in a city and with a desk job my exercise is walking and running mainly but I also have a Bosu ball at home on which I do balance exercises i.e. standing on one foot while doing light weights, squats, touching toes while on one foot etc. I am with Grandpamac as I see no reason why I can't be getting out in the hills when I am well into my 70's. The Bosu is amazing with regard to maintaining balance, knee strength, flexibility - when I frst got on it on two feet I could barely stay there for a few seconds, now one foot for minutes at a time while doing a few curls with weights, muscle memory is a real thing it seems.

I reckon as we age the time spent looking after our bodies by getting weight down combined with exercise is a bit like superannuation savings. No good getting to the point of retiring and not being able to get out into the bush or go diving etc.

Amen to that.
