  1. 55 and despite being disabled by the military, I stay active. Live alone in the woods and you will be active. I am usually hauling wood pellets all winter, I can unload fifty 80lb bags, two at a time, in about 20 minutes. I get a nice little workout running my snowblower clearing my 400' driveway, and the 200' circle when nothings parked there. In summer I am cutting trees, running them through my sawmill, shoveling tons of gravel. I might be the most active gimpy old guy you'd ever meet. I can only do so much though, roughly 4 to 6 hours a day, and three to maybe four days a week, and the knees, hips, etc are done. I have to have something to sit on while I work on my cars, and I bought a lift for my shop so I don't have to lay under them. When the snow is gone, or at least manageable, the dog and I will take laps around the driveway again. I can feel it if I am not active enough. EVERYTHING hurts if I don't move. I had a VERY active life when I was younger, wore out the lower half of me by the time I was 35. Put in the work when you're young, and you'll benefit when you're old. I can still lift REALLY heavy stuff, just cant carry it as far anymore. You probably won't over do it like what happened to me, unless you are involved in some major conflict, so get off the couch and go do things.
