well wrestling the young man just back from serving in Iraq back in Nov '08 has taken its toll on the old man. I always tried to stay in fairly good shape for my age, but this abductor tendon tear has taken me way down. So this old 57 yr old, now is back in the gym starting all over again...the second time around is a lot, and I mean a lot harder. So those that are in a routine now, stay with it into your later years, even if it a lighter workout. I did this until my injury. I walked away and gained 40 lbs. Lost all the muscle in my abdomin area, which is all core area...it will take at least 6 months just get back to where I was...but we are going to stay in the gym this time...I always said I would stay within my weight/ to height ratio...but injury will take you out of it, as well as no exercise in your later years...so, you old guys take note...lol...
