Use it or loose it.
Vibes to all here struggling with aging bones. My dad turned 67 this year and is still going strong. From a backpack last weekend:
Attachment 290013
He's a total late-night snacker, but is all about hiking 3-4 times per week. Lots of morning stretches, healthy diet from the wife's cooking, and at least 1-2 beers a night.
He's definitely slowed down a bit from 10 years ago, but his attitude has always made up for any physical shortfalls.
The question you should be asking yourself is: If you woke up tomorrow morning and didn't know how old you were, how old would you be?
He keeps coming back with the answer "47"
Was in hospital last week and was getting hr #’s in the 50s during the day & low 40s overnight. I got asked if I was an athlete by multiple shift nurses, but fuck if I actually am at this point...sure as hell cant run all day right nowQuote:

MHR is what you're doing just before the French ladies kiss you and give you flowers, while the guy with the yellow journey is taking it easy (relatively).Quote:

Fitness decline with age is highly dependent on genetics, among all the other things mentioned. It's also highly dependent on injury--acute injury which prevents people from maintaining fitness, which is increasing difficult to regain as one ages, and chronic injury which permanently prevents or limits exercise. Of course one of the biggest factors in injury, especially as one ages, is overtraining.
And you know this, how?Quote:

Yeah, back injuries really screw you over. I have a lot of sympathy for folks with any back issue. It can flair up out of nowhere.Quote:

Sure. I suppose it’s a bad idea to push above 80% but HIT is a good way to maintain strength and fitness.Quote:

Work up to it slowly, but I believe in getting your heart rate high. Very high now and then. I plan on still maxing out in the 180s at 60+.
Heart rate is variable however. My lovely wife has a resting heart rate around 38-42 and typically maxes out in the 140s. She is an efficient little fucker.
Again, either use it or lose it. It is very hard to get back up to high levels once you lose it after 45.
And please, if someone is out there getting the work in I don’t care if they are roller skating in shopping centers: good for them. Don’t give them shit. They are doing better than the vast majority of our population.
No, I wasn't referring to you.Quote:

For me--my dad had his first heart attack at 40, brother at 35, and my aortic valve a little narrow--I'll stay at 80%, and I can't do that for long, but then I'm on a beta blocker.Quote:

Of course it will slow more if you don't work at it.Quote:

Heart stress tests on a treadmill are sometimes used to evaluate people for big surgery. It turns out that someone who reaches target heart rate (80% of max for age and whose EKG shows blockage of one or more coronary arteries is a much better risk for surgery than someone who can't reach target whose EKG remains normal. In other words--fitness is a better predictor of survival than absence of heart disease.

Obviously nothing is for certain and injuries, such as the damn stitches I just got in my kneecap from a mtn bike crash, can easily derail you as you get older.Quote:

So that’s the plan.
Individual heart rate numbers don't matter much and there isn't much you can do to increase your max if you are somewhat fit. And it will drop as you age. What does matter, and what you can change, is how your body functions at certain percentages of that max. You can train your aerobic threshold (% of max at which you are relying almost entirely on the aerobic pathway/ use fat as fuel/ breathe easily while moving) and lactate threshold (% percentage of max at which you can sustain effort for 30-60 minutes, which also happens to be the level of exertion at which you can process/remove lactate at the same level you produce it). You can test these thresholds and they will move, slightly, but very meaningfully, as you build an aerobic base AND, interestingly, as you lose weight.
I think the hip, cool, with-it way to describe this is "thicc" or "T H I C C". But that's just what I've learned on the internet.Quote:

So since then, even though my hips are fried, I've been pretty much busting ass. Living right (mostly), eating right, etc etc. And it's been fucking shocking how long it has taken things to respond. Finally, now, in the past few days, after a year, I'm really starting to feel right. Feeling strong and good.
So I am about to get hurt or sick very soon. Fuck.
