Maybe start lifting weights again? 50 isn't a death sentence; I know a lot of competitive 50s-year-olds.
replyI'm trying but I've got a toddler and now it seems like every joint hurts. No time to get to a gym and no room for a decent home gym. I did start to do back day again at the Y when we go on the weekend for the pool. We'll see...
replyA pair of adjustable dumbbells in the corner of the living room is still very doable. Lots of bodyweight exercises too you could look into.
replyBack squats and deadlifts are both unreasonably effective, and impossible to load sufficiently with dumbbells.
replyTotally understand the young kids thing. Good luck.
