Why do old people bother working out and exercising?

[Gandolpiffini]

Nothing worse than 60-70's old people attempting to lift, using up valuable space at the gym, wasting treadmill space etc... You're done just give it up and stop wasting resources able bodied people can use for a better purpose.

so they can live pain free for the remaining yrs

Maybe they wanna enjoy the few years the have left...shyt if their 60-70 it doesn't mean they're gonna just fall over and die. I have many family members that lived beyond 80, I know it's not common to live past 80 but shyt they may think it's possible.

They in pain that's why they can't properly lift or run anymore

Never understood people talking down to old people. Only a lucky few make it to that, and everybody will be like that one day.

I would rather be a old cat in the gym, than the old cat on one of those scooters going to Walgreens every week re upping on some meds.

Is this a serious thread ?

There's an old dude where I go who was breaking deadlifting records and shyt.

You really underestimate old man strength.

A lot of people wait until they're in their later years to take their health seriously, since they're closer to death

When they're in their younger years, they procrastinate

I agree to a certain point. If the older people have always worked out and are now simply maintaining then I'm all for it. However, the old people that go there because they can barely walk anymore need to hit up the local YMCA or a therapy center.
