Guy that moved in next door a couple years ago is about 20 years younger than me. He is amazed how I can hop on and off a horse. He is some overweight and rides a 4 wheeler on his place instead of walking. I try to take a 2-3 mile hike every day depending on the weather and ground conditions. I
am a bit more careful these days because I don't want to wreck a knee slipping in the ice or mud. Also the aforementioned walk to the mailbox and often one or more round trips to the barn which is about 900' each way by the trail. And then there is checking and repairing the fence lines on foot sometime.
Not to mention cutting and splitting all our firewood.
I still probably sit around way too much especially in the winter.
