Sustaining intensity in middle years

"I started going mountain biking," Alvin declared after a sip of his vodka sprite. "I have done it 3 times already. Twice with a friend, and once, recently, on my own."

I have come to realise that if a person sustained some of the intensity after his school days, he would be in better shape in his 40's.

If a man in his middle years does not sustain his conditioning with a certain intensity, he will not be able to counteract the effects of time; and after an injury, he will not be able to heal the way he once did. In fact,life for him will become one long quiet injury; he will begin to hear sounds in his body that belong in a car that is being recalled.
