What age do you think you are

I have just watched a recording about how to age well, there were several interviews with some of societies seniors and showing what they do to keep feeling young, so made me wonder others on here do to keep themselves feeling young.
Mostly I  mess about in the garden, though I do go for a walk for about a mile every day, up to the start of the pandemic I run a garden club, organising monthly meetings, I also help maintain the church, which being an old building takes a lot work, but I suppose it all contributes to keeping me active, so again what do you do to keep yourself young

I’ll come back to you on that. I think building a house is either going to kill or cure   .
Day to day it’s playing in the garden.

I think asking that question on this forum is likely to get gardening as the majority of the answers. Mine included. There's young, and there's active. I've no wish to roll back the years, I might have to work for my living and I enjoy retirement too much to do that. I do wish I liked to exercise though, so I could maintain strength and suppleness, but I don't, so rely on the digging, hefting and general upping and downing of the gardening to keep me fit. Bodily I'm probably about my true age, mentally I'm about 6.

I still feel pretty young, apart from the inevitable aches and pains (and the fact that hangovers take a lot longer to dissipate!). Partly it's because most of my work colleagues and friends are a lot younger than me, plus I still enjoy a lot of the things I did when I was younger: scifi movies, video games, etc.

In fact in recent years I've rediscovered some youthful pursuits that I didn't have time for when I was focused on my career, such as knitting (very trendy these days, all the young people are doing it!) and watercolour sketching. Maybe when I retire I'll take up hiking again - do you think I'll still be eligible to finish my Duke of Edinburgh Award?

^^^ agreed Eyren, scifi, fantasy books and video games keep me going in the dark days. Never thought about them keeping me young though, P just shakes his head slowly in despair

What age do I think I am........I personally think I am a young 66 year old.That could just be my narcissism but at my age I don't give a monkeys what others think.
I love to be outdoors and have worked outdoors most of my life. Gardening and fishing are my main outdoor pursuits but I enjoy dog walking and 'tinkering' with bits and bobs.

I thank God for my reasonable health and being a carer for my wife upsets me as she hasn't been blessed with good health and can't really enjoy her retirement.

Walking, cycling, camping along with gardening then Indoors I read and jump about on my mini trampoline plus exercise using my Nintendo Wii.
It won't keep me young but it does keep me happy and fit.

I think I'm about 35 sometimes which can be hard depending on what activity you take on!

I do enjoy walking, even more so now I'm out of London. I try to get my 10,000 steps a day for my cardio post heart surgery. I have exercised with No.2 son whilst he's been here and will continue that once he goes back to London. I played a lot of football when I was young and really miss it

And, I finally fulfilled my dream when I got my plot, obviously this keeps me a tad busy and active.

I must admit I've been a bit lazy in the mornings since we lost Stella however I feel my body is making up for the last 2 years of 5am walks whilst sleeping downstairs with her on the sofa

I do miss the workplace including the banter (mainly football rubbish) as this certainly kept me young and active. I will start looking for work once I've had the 2nd vaccine although I think it will be a completely different chapter up here.

All in all I don't think I've ever really grown up

I hang about with some very old people on this gardening forum.
They are so concerned about their age that they watch programmes about how to age well - unaware that for them, its too late.

Now, now Veggie, you should be trying to encourage the old folk that's on the forum, remember not everyone is as young as I am, I know you try your best with all your plans and riddles, so keep it up, it might help you feel younger (you have a lot af decades to go back on) and remember miracles do happen
