Sometimes we get to the point where our bodies change and we get upset that “we used to do this all the time” (I just found out I can’t even do 1 pull up anymore, I’m working out again, so I know I’ll get there, but boy, what a wake up call!)



You may have reached the point where you can’t stay out in the heat, working, for extended periods of time.
I am 64, these are cramps and they are all over the place. I cannot say that I am upset about this, just frustrated. I had a doctor once tell me you know you wake up one day and discover that you have gotten old. I shall pace myself and I appreciate all the replies.

7642U Thanks for weighing in, I have had heat exhaustion once 45 years ago at Ft Campbell I remember getting fatigued and then the next thing I recall getting put on a Huey for a trip to the hospital. I try to remain cognizant of my condition during the day. Time to lighten the load a bit I guess.
