In Episode 084, Don and Derek discuss the elephant in the room and the impact of ageing on their exercise routines. We are all ageing and there is not stopping that process. It’s no surprise that exercising when you are in your twenties looks a lot different than when you are in your forties or fifties. While Don and Derek may still be in great physical shape, and may even be more generally fit than when they were younger, there are still many challenges to staying healthy and fit as you get older. While aerobic and endurance abilities may be improved or maintained, speed and elastic abilities are very difficult to hold onto as you get beyond your thirties and forties. Strength can be improved and maintained, but as testosterone levels begin to decline dramatically, fatigue can be much more prevalent.

Don and Derek discuss how they have managed to stay ahead of the curve with their fitness and athletic abilities despite the ageing process. They also point out the realities of getting older and how you have to embrace new limitations with a sense of humor. There are specific reasons why you can no longer do the things you so easily managed as a younger person. One of the big reasons is self-preservation and survival. But, there are still many things you can do to keep your mind and body in optimal working order if you just take the proper time, care and effort.
