What's the best way to stay fit and active as you age?Hi, I love a sauna and used to go twice a week before this covid thing. Drank loads of water while there which i think was very good for my skin.ViewDate:

What's the best way to stay fit and active as you age?Football for me, still enjoy playing. It starts again this Saturday after covid stopped it for a period. Nothing really compares with 90 mins on the pitch fitness wise. Only thing is I sometimes get asked if I'm the ref when I turn up at the changing rooms :) Do a bit of cycling and started to do trail running recently which is a lot less boring than running round the streets.ViewDate:

Cycling on pavements and in parksI have a couple of dogs and the path where I walk them has just been turned into a cycle route and is the main route into Exeter city centre. They closed off a busy road for 11 months to build a bridge over the road so that the cyclist didn't have to take a 40m detour to a crossing and back. It used to be a nice safe dog walk but now you have cyclists flying past at speed with no warning, and it's usually the ones with the racing bikes and all the gear on, the same inconsiderate ones that cycle in the middle of a traffic lane probably. One of my dogs is 16 and can only see about 2m and is also almost completely deaf, so what used to be a nice relaxing dog walk is now quite stressful as I need to have eyes in the back of my head looking for cyclists. He has already been struck by a young girl on a bike who was not going fast, luckily he just got a fright. There is a registered blind lady who walks her dog there and they go past her at speed. I looked up the law online and it seems because it's a shared path dogs are meant to be kept on a short lead. So where do people who have no access to maybe a field or waste ground exercise their dogs off the lead. I should add I cycle to work and back every day but slow right down to almost walking pace when I pass people with dogs or kids as even if you think they are aware of your presence they may not be. -
