Then don't accept it.
These are probably things you already know but they're worth repeating . . . Take longer warm ups and spend more time stretching than you used too. When you go to work out the plan isn't to kill yourself but to stay in the best shape you possibly can. Vitamin suppliments will help as well as a diet that fits your body's needs. You Doc probably can give you an assist since he/she know's your body's shape the best.
I opened my school at 50. I noticed 2 important things when I did that. 1. You hurt a lot more training 5 hours a day 5 days a week verses training 3 days and 2 hours a week, and 2. I actually got better after I started spending more time preparing for classes. My doc helped a lot with that. I plan on going until I can't stand up any more.
This is a good subject, I hope others chime in here.
