The body will age, regardless of one's state of mind, but I get what you're saying. If the mind thinks, "I'm old," the body will feel that age the mind says it is.

I know what you're talking about. Even though I'm a Millenial (born between 1981-96) i'm often being overtaken by Generation Z pedestrians (who are born between 1997-2012). The current gen needs to slow down and let the senior and elderly citizens pass first.
Pfft.
At 55 years old, there are only a handful of coworkers (all half my age) that can keep up with me on package delivery.
They've tried to hire people my age, but all have washed out. The manager told me the owner said to her that I'm the only old person she's allowed to have there.

Early 30s and saying that you can't run etc anymore, that seems strange? Ronaldo is 36 years old, Messi is 34. Maybe you won't have the same amount of energy as in your twenties, but shouldn't prevent you from doing these things.

I am coming up 87 in January.
Back arthritis is now causing me problems I do daily exercises to strengthen the back muscles to keep my back upright.
But it is becoming problematic this last two years. My back tends to give way after about a mile of walking, unless I take it very easy. which is not the way I like to walk.
As you get older you collect ailments that just do not go away. but they should not stop you doing everything. ageing is progressive. Things did not start to be a problem at all till well past 70.

Ladies and Gentlemen, on one side of the ring, we have @JustGeorge weighing in 250 pounds and on the other side we have @mangalavara, weighing in 105 pounds. That's right. This is gonna be a helluva fight. And this is for the world heavyweight championship.
Joining me in the commentary are @Conscious thoughts and @Spiderman. Its good to have you here fellas.
Actually,
@JustGeorge was gonna kick my butt for hitting on her husband!

Too much of it I felt uncomfortable doing (or unable even). Never been very flexible; the teacher said yoga was the ideal thing to do. Never saw any improvement so sort of lost interest.
There were some seriously old people at the class that had obviously been doing it for years - they seemed to be made of rubber
I'm a few years out of practice. I assume @mangalavara 's and I's fight will go something like this:

There is a lot i can't do now so just skip those moves in my routine which has reduced from half an hour to 20 minutes per day

When you see yoga poses like this, the very first thought that comes to your mind is... "Damn she must be possessed or something." ... In my opinion, every yoga centre should have an exorcist. Just sayin'.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Could be a medical disposition. I'd see a doctor at that age.
That's awesome!
