Sure, having younger people in your life will keep you active.....but can you do the those things with your Kid very often when you're at that age? Going to a gym is one thing...but I've never seen any man in any gym working out with his 10,11,12,13,14 or 15 yr old when he's 45/50/55/60 yrs old. When I wrote about being active the post said being active with his children often. Going skiing with your 10-15 yr old once or twice a yr isnt being active with your kids.

When I was 10. My dad was 42. He was active with me. He would play catch with me, he taight me how to ride my bike and would bike with me. If I asked, he would. Even my mother we used to play tennis together. older parents are active with their children if they choose to be and are healthy.
You make it sound like every 40 year old is living in geriatric mode and should be placed in a home.
