Silent suicide: The fatal combination of old age, loneliness and loss

[at140]

2. I am a decade older than Tom and

I can still do every chore and sport I did during my 50's. There is only one reason for that..
Treadmill every other day for 30 minutes at 3 deg up-slope followed by some light weight lifts.
I rarely see seniors in the GYM! Why is that? Seniors have loads of time on their hands.
It is only young people in great shape and body builders. While who needs exercise the most?
That is right...all of those older than age 60. Of course when I worked full time, I had no time
or energy to go spend an hour in Gym 4-5 times a week. In fact I retired before eligible for
social security/medicare because of being out of shape and in not good health. It was a choice
between getting heart attacks or giving up a paycheck. I chose to make serious changes. Regular
exercise has turned my life around. I can't stress importance of exercise enough for old people.
