Gentlemen,

I just wonder what the consensus is here as to when you really start to
feel your age when doing the more arduous DIY tasks?
Personally up to age 50 I always felt as physically strong as I was at
25, but since hitting the half-century I'm sure I've lost some strength
by an unquantifiable percentage over the intervening years. And now at 56
I'm finding doing DIY related tasks for a full 8hr day more and more
knackering and ache+pain inducing. I'm just wondering if I'm alone!
Your experience?

I've returned to Morris Dancing (seriously!) after a 30 year gap -
highly recommended!

It'll knacker your knees.

Your typical knee replacement patient is probably twice their ideal weight
and hasn't run further than the TV remote control in years.
