I'll be 58 in June, about 7 seven years ago I had some issues with blood pressure and 4 years ago I found out I have a artery that is blocked. I stopped doing martial arts and started just going to the gym. I retired 2 years ago, I now go to the gym mon-fri,minimum 30 min on treadmill or elliptical and some light wieghts to help with my archery activities. I also went back to martial arts with a few classes and help to teach the kids classes{4-10 year olds}.I also got told in August that I now have type 2 diebetes. You have to do whatever you have to do to keep doing the things you like. I really think that inspite of my health issues I'm in the best shape of my life because I got out and made it happen. It don't matter what you do, just do something that will improve your health.I also kayak, fish, ride bike, Ride motorcycles, woodcarve and just try to keep active.I have noticed that when I hunt now I'm not out of breath and looking for a spot to rest as often....it must be working!!
