I started back at the gym aged 51 , eyes open respecting my age and not trying to compete with guys , 20/30 yrs younger.
but when is it time to hang up your gloves...?
do older guys even listen to common sence.
any of you older guys training , what ya doing and what for.

good lock micky , you inspire me...
I keep going back periodically but I have recurring thigh/hip injury that just keeps letting me down no matter how gentle/low impact my regime is....I guess your body just say's no....walking and the occasional cycle ride is my only exercise now.
work and gardening is all i do now .......that's more than enough for this old bugger....and WATCHING rugby if that counts
Well I'm clearly not as old as you old farts
, so as well as walking the dogs I'm now (last 6-8 months) doing about 2.5 hours a week on the cross trainer, I've lost about 1.5 stones during that time as well
well done dev, I keep going even though my rotator cuff is shot and iv only 1 tricept , but balls to that , ill keep on pumping iron , you just have to know your limits.
what do we think of micky rorke in the ring at 62 , even if he is put up against bums he if fitter and tougher than most at 40 .
Well, personally, as a "mere" female, I don't do quitting! If I hung up my gardening gloves, fork, dog lead and horse halter, the place would probably grind to a halt. I'm not sure that training and exercising as such are going to do much for you in those later years. I was never into gym stuff and all that jogging (far too hard on the boobs!) but I try to keep fit by staying active as much as I can.
By the way, Dev, that Fighting book is tremendous fun!
DEV we all hate you...................lol
