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.

You seen the size of morris dancers ? And that's just the wimmin.
