He golfs just about every free weekend. He swims in our pool and is looking for a gym to join so he can lift. If anything, having a child later in life kept him younger longer.

I didnt say a dad wouldnt be active....I ment active with his kid when he is young. How many 45/50 yr olds do you know play basketball, football and baseball with their sons ( and I'm not meaning just playing catch)? How many 45/50 yr olds do you know that go golfing with their 10,11, 12 yr old? 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.
