I was never athletic but was always physically active. I retired almost
10 years ago at 53 and made a point of being physically active. I amped
things up after recovering from heart surgery. I take my dog for a 2
mile walk most days. In the nice weather I try to get out on my bicycle
for an hour or two. I took up kayaking last year and was out on paddles
with my club 2-3 days per week, two of those would be 5-6 hour paddles.
If the weather is not so good I go to the Y for a workout.
