Lol , I might have to revaluate the 40 new 30 bit.I sparred against a few 30 year olds tonight and ate a few left hooks , reflexes not what they used to beI did get in a few to keep em honest though!

Agree with that. No probs paddling or surfing but sparring at kickboxing I am a pale shadow of my former self. Can almost see it coming but cannot get out of the way :(

I found towards the end of my rugby league career I was getting lots more injuries from contact. Did not roll with the punches as well.

Loving sup and mtb now though so not all bad.

@ 55 its the joints and ligaments that have deteriorated that create the problems. I agree more stretching seems to be the key to prevention (but I am often too slack in this department).

In the hands of the trainers: off to have steroid injections in my left shoulder this Friday to try and get back paddling. Its become a real pain.

Its easy to understand why cycling is the new golf, as it is such low impact (unless you are GR - trust you are making a good recovery ).

no

At 58 you may think you're not that old but your body tells a different story. Stay active, have fun and maybe a glass or two of red!

And the odd cortisone injection to the facet joints between L3 and L4. Lucky I support Essendon in the AFL, they have some really good suppliers.

It's just a number!
