Nothing better than a HOT steamy shower in the winter cold after any vigorous activity when you are a geezer.
Some folks play pickle near me, in another life time I played tennis and golf,,,got lazy and quit that years ago,,,I walk some and ride a bike along with motorcycling,,,,lol65 and pretty limber. NO aches or pains, played solid over two hours of pickleball yesterday. Really active, not geezerball.
Totally agree with KEEP MOVING. DON'T be a couch denter! Zombie life kills.
Sometimes my muscles are a bit tired feeling, but I have discovered non-smelly magnesium lotion right before bed is excellent! I got a tube from Amazon. I was skeptical because epsom salt baths do nothing for me.
Don't know what red spots are (?)
I do know is in the last little while my liver has become a lazy thing. Probably didn't treat it right in my youth. I really can't eat much anything with sugar or starch - even sweet squash - it's like instant blood glucose spikes, delay and then my body makes just enough insulin to bring it down in 3-4 hours. Of course if I exercise it helps, but still high right after exercise and I wake with high BG. Stress drives up my BG. Kinda sucks.
Need to exercise MORE!!
Similar here but after some physical work, I feel like I am 80. On Monday I was up on the roof blowing off the leaves, then picking up and stuffing them in a recycling tote before dragging the tote into the woods to dump. 3-4 hours of hard work and 2 days later back, legs, arms still aching. Tylenol does nothing. The sooner they find a way to reverse aging, the better.
Have you tried a carb free diet?65 and pretty limber. NO aches or pains, played solid over two hours of pickleball yesterday. Really active, not geezerball.

Perfectly carb free is difficult and it does work. But I struggle to get into ketosis because my body BG stays above the magic number.Have you tried a carb free diet?
I think you need a trophy for above and beyond a great attitude...Since I turned 50......I have had a quad bypass when I was 57 (no heart attack, just a funny feeling in my chest), had my thyroid removed when I was about 64 because I was one of those unfortunate souls that had X-ray treatments for acne on my chest and back in my very early teens, had 9 kidney stones removed surgically when I was 68(two from the tubes leading from my kidneys to my bladder and 7 from inside my left kidney), had three large screws and cadaver bone to repair my L5 vertebrae after the disks on both ends ruptured, had my gall bladder removed and when I had the kidney stones removed, they found I had chronic lymphocytic leukemia! That is now controlled by a daily pill.
I am currently 75 and in my younger days, I biked all over (did century rides), was an avid spelunker, hunted in the US and Canada and walked about 1000-1200 miles a year. I still walk, do weights three times a week but bikimg is oput of the question because of my left knee.
Moral of the story: Enjoy physical activities while you can! Don't put off doing something that you really want to do because the days come all too quickly when it becomes difficult if not impossible to do the!
Didn't say living forever, just being 80 or 100 and being able to feel and do stuff like you did at 40 or 50.Framk Sinatra nailed it with this quote, “ you only go around once. And if you do it right , once is enough.”
But living forever ? Not for me. If life stretched out endlessly I’d procrastinate even more if there were a zillion tomorrows to fob off the unpleasant responsibilities.
Actually it might not be bad living 10,000 years as long as no one else was living past 100.

Yeah my dad and my grandfather had a lot of growths removed, somewhat worried about that.None of that so far, but I have had three skin cancer surgeries.
Excellent!do weights 3 times a week and joint exercises the other days. F
