Well you did better than I... made it to 45. We used to play an hour a couple times a week at the rec club on a long lunch. Our company had a great gym onsite. Miss those days but my lower back could not take the pounding anymore.
I made it to 46. Used to play in the church gym on Sunday nights until I blew my meniscus.
You should if that's what you want to do. I quit doing extreme bike races at age 56. There were guys older than me who were racing well. I was faster than I'd been at 40. So I could have kept going. I quit because they stopped running my favorite races. Not enough people want to do races up big mountains any more to make it worth holding them. Also I was getting burned out after 15 years of 15-20 hours a week plus gym time. That took up all the free time I had and then some. But I was really fit!
The problem with my recreation is most of the players are between 25-40 yo. and we play between 6 to 7 game (1st to 15 wins) There are about 4 of us that are 55 and older. One guy is 61 and can light it up at the 3 pt line.
I love swimming and would swim every day if I could but living out in the country its hard to find an indoor pool.
