At my age I'm wishing that I hadn't done so much exercise in my life. All those reps take their toll on your body. Joints are like engines - when they are made they have a finite number of revolutions built in. Use those up and your engine, or your joints, are shot and need rebuilding. From doing so much lifelong exercise my shoulders and knees are worn out. It's like this old joke:
A Wise Chinese Doctor.
Q: Doctor, I’ve heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Your heart only good for so many beats, and that it…don’t waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take nap.
