I completely agree.I hate this bit. For most of us, motivation doesn’t decrease when we get into our 40’s and whilst it’s the right thing to do, it doesn’t make it any easier when have to actually do it yourself
My dad played golf from as soon as he could hold a club. 36 holes was a normal weekend, 72 if the weather was good. He could've gone professional but didn't though he did play in the Byron Nelson pro-am every year. The last few years he slowed it down to where he doesn't play at all anymore.
I'm planning to talk to my dad soon about how that felt, how he did it, etc., because I see it very much the same as us stepping back from bodybuilding.
