Merry birthday to ye.

I think you're onto something with that keep on moving thing. I've not even left my early 20's and my knee went the other day and my back,neck and shoulders are frequently problematic and I can only think it's cause I stopped being so active. Used to play sports a few hours every day of the week and never felt better.

I keep meaning to get back into it, but it seems like so much work now. I'm just glad I don't gain weight so easily.

Nahh, like Ahnult said, I'll be back. I'm Buddhist that way.

I have one of these for indoor exercise:

Best equipment I ever purchased (and I've bought a lot). As hard or soft as you want to go- a drenching sweat can be worked up in minutes if you go hard. Especially excellent for peeps with impact-related joint problems (like me, and you too, I guess).

At 40, I could have kicked my 27 year old ass. I seem to get more motivated as I age.

I'm 40, people tell me I look like I'm in my 20's, some days I feel like I've been on the planet for about 100 years others I feel like I'm about 12. age really is relative.

for those that don't think you are active enough, I truly envy you. my body parts are constantly moving (due to tics and twitches), and while I do admit it keeps me fit,strong and youthful on some bizarre level, I could kinda do with a break from the exhaustion and injuries...also I have to motivate myself to exercise the bits that aren't in twitch mode so they keep up...I don't always do that so often have a weird physique (at the moment I have strong arms a sinewy neck, and abs of steel everything else is undertoned/flabby)...I'm thinking of marketing twitchy movements as a new exercise regimen...ha ha not really though I have heard of athletes (e.g. Bruce Lee for one) who have themselves hooked up to machines that make various muscle groups twitch to strengthen them. I really would like to get into some kind of marsal arts...any tips for what is suitable for beginners? It needs to be something I can engross myself in and that requires deep concentration.

Okay, we martial artists will always recommend the arts we're into, so, Wing Chun is what I'd go with. It's VERY physical, yet full of concentration.
But truthfully, the same could be said of any art from any good teacher.
Ba Gua (Pa Qua), or Hung Gar, or really any Chinese art that teaches fluid motion while stressing concentration on form would do.
Go for it!

Hey Frem,

Some folk treat their body as a temple, more power to em, I tend to consider mine an amusement park.
