Re: What is wonderful about being an Atlas Student
Now almost 73 I have to not get too carried away and give time to recover. I'm no athlete but being active everyday is key.

Re: Take care of your body
I go to a senior centre most mornings and see the folks who haven't looked after their health and fitness. Most are way overweight and there because now a doctor will tell them to move for 20 mins a day and they sit on a machine and watch TV.
