When we get into our 70's we aren't able to ride skateboards because we may
fall.
People in the late stages of their life cannot balance on slack lines.

slow down and take things easier as we get older.
This is contrary to what our bodies are made to do, which is to move. And
continue moving well into old age.

should or could do. However, when the music stops, it is up us to decide how
we stay in the game. The
critics can watch on the
