Fitness levels decline with age, especially after 45

Well, all I know is that I used to jog five miles, five days a week, after weight training. I had to quit because my knees were killing me. Age or abuse, either way I can't do what I used to do physically.

Did you ever have any knee or other joint injuries? If so that can become a limiting factor.

I'm one of the older guys and I'm still hanging in there. Although some days are harder than I remembered in the past.

No. I did gain 100lb of muscle since then. And for pushing 60 next year I'm not complaining.
But I did hurt my left knee and my back having sex with the old lady last week.
