Exercise for Aging Muscles

I know it gets said a lot, but I really think it comes down to doing something you really enjoy. I play volleyball 2-3 times a week, and it never feels like something I'm just doing to slow the rate at which my body decays.

I play basketball for 30-45 minutes everyday. It made all the difference for me getting back into good shape - feel good shape - and I do hit some of the euphoria every once in a while as well. Plus, after some years of this, sugar, cholesterol, tsh, etc. are back to normal. I'm not so sure about BP trends but am tracking it. I hope it helps there as well.

Totally. I would not typically classify "fun" as "euphoria", though.

I wasn't speaking about the usual fun physical activity. At all.
