Signs of Aging…
|
Signs of Aging… There are common signs of aging that show there face as the years tick by. For men the most obvious signs are wrinkles, graying hair, or loss of hair. I have been fortunate that way… I don’t have the wrinkles of a 52 year old man, and thanks to a dumb dare in high school to shave my head, I have the hair thing licked. My hair is always kept bald or short, which definitely<b> masks </font></b>the hair loss and hides the gray. Just a quick word to any men who are graying or your hair is receding… shave it. Shave it all off. You only look strange the first time… it draws more attention to your face, eyes etc., and you will look younger. But I digress.  Another big sign of aging is the loss of your physical prowess and an increase in recovery time needed. Things that required some strength that I once handled with ease, now take a little care and effort. Recovery time, not just sexual recovery time, but recovery time from fatigue and injury is an annoying sign of aging. Everything takes longer as you age, which in terms of sex, is a good news bad news kind of thing.  But outside of sex, minor injuries from physical activity that would just take days to recover from, now seem to take weeks or go on forever. Right now, I have a nagging shoulder injury that won’t go away. I don’t remember how I hurt it (probably shoveling snow), but it just kind of showed up sometime in January, and just keeps lingering. I have had shoulder problems off and on, but know by body pretty well, and I have always been able to combat the effects; this one just seems to be taking forever to fully recover.Through most of my life I have always been very active, even after I stopped participating in competitive sports. Weight training and Racquetball was an ongoing thing, and was the focus in the winter months. The frequency of gym visits would decline in the summer, due to participation in men’s league slow pitch, men’s league football, and golf (a great way to spoil a good walk). At age 40 with the birth of my first , it all kind of came to a screeching halt. There have been attempts to continue to remain somewhat active after that, mostly pushups, situps, walking and biking. I had my on bikes early and often, and by the time the two oldest turn 5 and 4, they could ride training wheel free, and enjoy the network of trails in our area. This winter I decided I needed to work my way back to the gym. I couldn’t just step back in and pickup were I left off… they would carry me out on a stretcher. I’m doing the pushups, situps thing, doing some anaerobic no-weight circuit training, speed walking and a little bit of light weights. Then I decide to face my nemesis; distance running… Have I told you I hate distance running… well I do.  I was never good at it. I did track in high school, 200 and 400 meters, and I could even stretch it out to 800 meters, but beyond that.  Plus, distance running was the torture, you had to endure at the end of wrestling practice to control your weight… or worse running a 5 miler outside in fucking January on a Thursday night or Friday afternoon, with a garbage bag on, (basically dehydrating yourself), to make weight for a tournament. Or still worse doing it the morning of a tournament, because you didn’t make weight, and you still have ½ pound to go. I fucking hate the thought of running.But I have been doing it, a little over a mile, about 4-6 times a week since April 1, and I have progressed beyond the stage when you want to stop about ½ way through, and you feel like your heart and lungs are about to come through your chest or out your mouth at the end. I’m feeling pretty good about myself; then I make the mistake of inviting my 10 year old (middle ) to join dad on a run. He is a gifted distance runner (got that from his mom, definitely not me)… the with boundless energy, plus he is long and lean. Last fall for fun he and his older brother (11), spontaneously enter a Terry Fox run. Terry Fox was a cancer amputee who tried to run across Canada with one prosthetic leg in 1980; there is a run to raise money for cancer research all over Canada every year. The run is 5K, and the older in his effort to keep up with the middle , apparently threw up twice, while getting his ass kicked by the 10 year old. Well my 10 year old, he can out run me… not only that, he is mocking me the whole way. Speed walking beside me sometimes; running a little bit to get ahead of me; and the worst, running backwards. He is talking the whole way, not breathing hard whatsoever, then near the end of the run I really pick up the pace, he realizes what I am doing and blows right by me. The little fucking shit made me feel old. Next time I’m taking the 5 year old, I think I can take him. Have you had this happen to you, where you get the cold slap of reality that you are aging?

Run, walk, bicycle are the basics for lower body shape and circulation. Tis the "pump" that ALL men need regardless of age, to keep UP for the ladies.  Resistance training from head to toe is the next in building and maintaining your foundation. Wrist weights and a Master Moves do not cost or take up space, and they are good start to getting rid of the "excuses" first, to establish a base line for toning and getting rid of a few lbs. Have a full gym in my basement for convenience. Physical fitness is a habit; a lifetime, lifestyle habit like "healthy eating"; and as important.  Wrinkles? Hydrate properly and no wrinkles. Receding hair line? No matter how short your hair, it happens. Dig it! Tis the failing eye sight which is the bitch!

I believe it's called 'early onset penile dementia' for which the cure is little blue pills!!  Comes to us all McShug, but having said that, I reckon I was born a grumpy auld git!

 . Now I have scaled down to 1-2 miles 3-4 days a week, until this year was usually with my brutes (a bull mastiff and a Pyrenees). Like the old saying goes,, Getting old is not for sissys. Too late for the hair, and moustache heavy into the gray, just suck it up and deal with it now

Well, I'm definitely trying to look after myself, that why the distance running. It still shocks people how quick I still am, (sprinting and lateral) especial given my size. I can still kick his asses on a bike (he is better than his older brother there too); so payback will come on the next big ride. Find pleasure in giving pleasure

She has been in the lifestyle longer, and has a larger sample size to go on than my personal sample size of me, myself and I; so I will have to take her word for it. No blue pill for me yet.

Not a wimpy sport. I played it as a teenager, and I have just started introducing my boys to it. It requires a great deal of hand eye coordination, quicks and some agility. If I ever ran a marathon, that would be the athletic achievement of a lifetime for me. Find pleasure in giving pleasure

I'm kind of laughing and proud that he can outrun me over distances. It was just the way he went about displaying it that was blog worthy. I though my pace would be a little more challenging for him. lesson learned. Find pleasure in giving pleasure

My knees are holding up pretty good. A few of my friends have had knee replacement surgery already. One of them has had both knees done. Now eyes... I am at bi-focal stage, but I'm refusing to go there. Find pleasure in giving pleasure

That's so 10 years ago. Now it likes to move around, so something different is not feeling 100% on the daily. Find pleasure in giving pleasure

Short distances are OK, there are actually are suppose to be better for you than distance running, in terms of burring calories. You just go hard for like 30 second, rest for 90 then repeat. Some people are just gifted at running, they can go for a long time and at a pretty good speed. I'm that way on a bicycle. I run both for the body and mind... It's my nemesis, so conquering it is good for my mental state. Find pleasure in giving pleasure

About 8 years ago, I stopped taking regular exercise when I moved cities. I do try to walk and swim more, though I keep mean to buy a bicycle to cycle to work. I did start to run, but that activity wasn't good for my back.

I have had arthritis in my knees since my early teens, which then added my hips to the mix in my early 20s... I find that a low-fat diet and long distance rapid walking helps. I do an average of 200 stomach crunches per day, sit ups are bullshit for sculpting the stomach, the abdominal muscles have to do the work, not the tendons that connect the legs to the body. I can run a very good burst for about 3 city blocks to chase down a bus and do that about 3 times a month. I wear out most 20 year old cubs who come to see me and many play sport regularly. They're astonished and a bit intimidated. Sadly, I can't do much about the few wrinkles (stretch marks) around my mouth or the white hairs that don't respond to hair dye so I rip the little fuckers out with tweezers. I could be bald by my 50th birthday. Just saying.Speed walking is also great, but I was under the assumption that it was taxing on the hips. Find pleasure in giving pleasure

I think I would be challenged making the bald look work as I have a lot of scars on my scalp from much of the violence I endured during my childhood. You are right, it is taxing on the hips and I do need quite a bit of pain medication to keep mobile but that is what keeps me from seizing up. In the next two or 3 years I'll need a left hip replacement, I already walk with a limp if I have done a few hours walking in any given day. Find pleasure in giving pleasure
