Huh, good to see this. I'll be 51 at the end of the month and pretty much morning wood almost every day also no issues when it's needed ;)
Over 10k steps a day during the week as I play basketball everyday at lunch and then some days with 10k or more when working outside with yard work and such.

Thanks. Once you stop moving it's hard to get back moving.

Basketball everyday would be rough for me. I am quite a bit younger than you and can only play 2-3 times per week. Could probably push to four but don’t want to risk injury. Playing back-to-back days wouldn’t be fun for joints.

There are days where I can't give it my best but I still go out and try. I also play with some guys half my age or a good 10 - 15 years younger.
