Can you believe that sports related injuries are the no. 2 cause for doctor visits, behind common cold?

Can you believe that this is because we have come to expect to be able to continue our regular exercise routine into our 50’s, 60’s or even 70’s?

If you don’t, read this New York Times article and find out why. Some in medical circles have a new name for this syndrome, Boomeritis.

In summary, by continuing to exercise in our middle and later years, we try to keep our body healthy and fit and more active, no doubt. But at the same time, we have to listen to our body and be careful to not stretch it to the point that it experiences breakdowns. You know, as active as you may be, as we age we lose the strength, the stamina and so at 60 your body cannot do the things you easily did when you were 30. So tone your workout routines to your age and listen to your doctor.
