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.

Ok, how about this...my dad was my softball coach every year from when I was 5 to when I was 16, he was 43-54 (and
I was the one who stopped playing because I got a job). AND he was a league chair. And I'm not talking he sat on the bench and made the line up...he hit balls, played catch, taught girls to slide, taught girls to pitch (spent HOURS catching for me so I could practice pitching, and then when I switched to catching, he spent hours pitching to me), coached 3rd base. I'm not a boy so no, we didn't play football, but we did shoot at the basketball hoop over the garage every once and awhile (I was never a real basketball fan). And actually, yes, when I was 12, 13, 14 (him, 50, 51, 52) we went to the gym together. We did treadmills and weight equip together. Still think my dad is old and inactive with me?
