Not at all mate, you're a year closer to retirement and all those empty lakes you can fish midweek!

Try to keep fit. It gets harder if you're not used to physical exercise on a regular basis. Use it or lose it. It's very true.

When I hit 50,,I took a look at myself..pretty fit due to my job ,but a bit porketh, so I cut out crisps,mmmm I love crisps,anyway I have lost 2 stone..

Got into stretching,and Calisthenics...body weight exercises,I just use what's around me me ,benches,tables,farm gates,tractor tyres..

The stretches have been so beneficial, stretch in the morning and before bed,you can do em on the bank..!

It's a breeze mate.

Keep active, get out in the fresh air, look forwards rather than back and you'll be fine.

Happy birthday

Brisk hours walk everyday will keep most things in order for the next 10/20 years if you are not eating and drinking yourself to death.
GIVE UP SMOKING.

Yeah it's pretty much over mate. I'm turning 51 this weekend and I used to be able to bend an iron bar over my erected thingy. Can't do that now - my arm are simply not that strong anymore.

Very true...i do 15-20 mins stretching each day and walk at speed 5 miles 4 times a week seems to negate the red wine and good food wandle! Lol

Yes Mickey,learning those stretches is THE ,best I have done..

Some of you rugby fans mightve heard of Phil Vickery,Phil is Cornish and his family have a farm with carp lakes,anyway I know his physio ..got taught three simple stretches,wow,I do these everyday ,twice a day without fail,

I couldn't touch the floor with both hands ,now,I can multiple stretch walk on both hands...Calisthenics is another thing I do ,its brilliant,just using body weight..when out fishing I do these,I don't care if I look a dick or no,...I've said it before,you don't need to join a gym...equipment is everywhere,I chop logs at speed ,thats another thing..pull ups,chin ups on trees push ups on baitbuckets sit ups in your bivvy on the bedchair.your only limited by your imagination..or not lol..

I got a M6L,small rucksack ,mini trangia..night cycling, no lights ,out on the Moor,go ten miles stop have a brew ,watch the satellites...stay off the tv,with its fearmongering, agenda..

That's what I do anyway,I've gone on too much..!!

Welcome to the antique club. 👍🏼

Onwards and sideways.

I still feel like I'm 25 😀

As long as you can still see your feet nothing to worry about 👍🏼

Welcome to the antique club

It's interesting reading through this

I'm sat here wondering how many grown blokes are doing stretch offs every morning in a purple leotard and black Lycra leggings

Ps I forgot to wish 157 happy returns of the day,

Also remember my cub scout song ,it goes like this 'you'll never go to heaven on a 157,unless you eat worms, long ones,short ones etc'...

True song that ,aged ,I forget..!
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.
