    &quot;Muscle is like your body&apos;s pension. The earlier you invest and the more consistently you top it up, the more health you can withdraw from it later.&quot;

    70 yrs old, been working out with weights for nearly 50 yrs. &nbsp;Can still do 17 pull ups and 50 push ups at a time. &nbsp;I am in better shape than I was at 25. &nbsp;Really &nbsp; It is in your hands. &nbsp;Stop the excuses and get out and do it, consistently.

    I retired at 66 and slowed down enough to discover how weak and tired I felt. Now I walk about 3 miles a day and do strength training 3 days a week. I feel great!

    Watching my 64 year old parents get more fatty liver and diabetic warnings as they eat themselves to death. &nbsp;They have very sedentary &nbsp;life styles and eat in excess and for pleasure.<br><br>I have urged them to workout more, walk and do resistance training but it falls on deaf ears. <br><br>They have a ton of other medical problems and they are only 64! Please don&apos;t be lazy like them and fight for your life. Especially if you are retired there is no reason not to work out multiple times a week and walk daily

    There are so many great inventions that help people lose muscle mass: cars, elevators, escalators, tv&apos;s, computer games, electric tools, etc. etc. etc.
